SirColinOfMansfield Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 A Sainsbury's spokesperson said: "We're pleased that the Court has robustly dismissed Bristol Rover's appeal and ruled that the conditional contract lawfully ended in November 2014. "We have been trading in Bristol for over 45 years and will continue to work with the local community via our existing stores which are extremely popular with customers (apart from those of a horse-punching persuasion.)"

Just a quick one though: Rovers have said that the outcome of their court case with Sainsbury's is "no longer relevant" Bristol Rovers have suffered a major blow to their plans to build a new £30 million stadium. This morning they lost a High Court appeal to prevent Sainsbury's pulling out of a deal to buy their existing stadium. The on-off saga has been raging since February 2014, after Sainsbury's agreed to buy the Memorial Stadium so they could build a new superstore - only to terminate the deal a few weeks later. Bristol Rovers claimed that contracts already signed by the supermarket meant that the deal was legally binding. But today, three judges sided with Sainsbury's saying it was within their rights to terminate the deal. The club now faces huge legal fees as well as the loss of a multi-million pound sale, which would go some way to funding the planned stadium in Stoke Gifford. The only comfort for Bristol Rovers fans is the new billionaire owner from Jordan, who has promised the new stadium will be built. http://www.itv.com/news/west/2016-03-17/bristol-rovers-lose-high-court-battle-against-sainsburys/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sainsbury's have been trading in Bristol for 45 years, Rovers have been treading water for over 100 years in Bristol (and various other locations) Nothing to see here.
