My gf wanted one at the Walsall game. The best was the identical one to that in red and white; and the worst a plain brown one with a small brown leather BCFC crest at one end. I couldn't quite believe it, my 20 yo scarf had multi-colours and a nice crest, she had to buy one online from some bloke in Canada of all places (the scarf guy) and it was cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sources I cannot reveal have told me that she has recently had a telephone call offering her free shopping for life and a seat in the House of Lords.

Is that a contracted amount of compensation, a likely amount or just wishful thinking? Say for one moment that is happening and that is a true figure. I think money like that will be their downfall. Yes they can pay their legal bills but if there is anything much left after paying other bills/loans etc it won't be enough to move. So they are stuck at the Mem. People will be calling for redevelopment. Their facilities are appalling, a couple of million will be easily swallowed up with nothing to show for in an ageing stadium like that, it was about to be bulldozed don't forget. Will other clubs now be raising their prices for players if the Gas get some money, course they will. What about their current players and staff, I guess they were all on a bonus for getting promotion they might be looking for a bit more too, maybe not in their pay packet as they will be contracted but maybe better hotels away, training facilities etc. They have always had money through transfers in the past, but always frittered it away, more so than us. I think the same will happen and the fans will get restless. It's one thing being down on our luck in the Conference but another being monied in League Two.

Guest Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) From memory I read somewhere that the deadline for Rovers / UWE ends at the end of June, in two weeks. I guess if that's correct then higgs will be praying for it to time-out because that would let him off the hook of having to deliver a stadium: he can blame sainsburys. I'm still very suspicious of the June date. It just sounds a bit too fishy. Why June, why tolerate until June, why tolerate litigation but not wait for the answer, what if 15ers get a decision but leave to appeal is granted, what if the order is for compensation which is insigificantly short of build costs (would they allow attempts to secure funding?) etc. If there is a deadline of June to bring everything to a close and be ready with the first JCB on 1 July, as 15ers suggest, then you have to wonder why. I can only really think of either UWE just want to draw a line in the sand and so an arbitrary date has been agreed or there is some financial issue (increased costs, who's covering, stage payment) and they can't agree who is funding this. If June is what the 15ers suggest it is it's hard to think how this could possibly be resolved on time. For instance, imagine you have responsibility for this for Sainsbury's and tomorrow the decision lands on your desk (15ers win) and your secretary tells you Higgs is on the phone. Of course you pick up the phone 'Hi Nick, I need to get feedback from the lawyers as to what this decision means and to consider our position. Obviously I want a conference with our barrister, partner solicitor and in house legal team. We want to use the same barrister as he has all the background and knowledge - its unreasonable for us to brief another. Unfortunately everyone is very busy at the moment with other matters and our barrister is working on another case that's been in his diary for a year. But good news is we've scheduled our con for the earliest possible date on 2 July. I'll call you on 3rd and update, ta ta for now'.
