I suspect they`d have had to leave considerably earlier than 6.57 to make that one (one for the older ones there). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Does anybody know what state the Memorial ground stadium is in? I've not been there but from clips of the games (by their entertaining blogger) it looks pretty old but I didn't know how bad it was; I remember the state of the Goldstone Ground away for a midweeker before Brighton moved ground; it was crumbling with huge sections roped off for safety reasons. As The New Stadium has been the goal for a few years they will have done the absolute minimum maintenance so I was wondering how the stands are holding up.

The ironic thing about the Mem is that despite it's utter crapness most of it isn't actually that old. The side stands were built by the rugby club in the 80s and 90s and the archaic looking clubhouse end was built by the sags after they moved in.

Does this further hamper the Mem/Supermarket plan? I doubt that it would make any difference. All it means is if the site is going to be sold, the Bishopston Society (or any other local group) would have 6 weeks to make a bid and 6 months to raise the money. It's unlikely that the Bishopston Society could raise the market value of the site, and even if they did, Rovers would just get the money from them instead of some other party.

Lanterne Rouge Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 I suspect there would be a lot of dispute over what is the `market value` as well. As far as the sags are concerned they`ll say it`s £30m but everyone else will say about £12m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF (and its a big if) they won the court case against Sainsburys to force them to pay the contractually agreed price, would Bishopston Society need to pay this level, or the Lower present market value?
