Aizoon Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Curious thing about the Gas is that they never seem to have a Plan B for when Plan A doesn't work out. Whether it be failure to gain promotion, to avoid relegation, to get a new stadium, or to win their lawsuit, there's never a contingency plan in place, Were it not for Godwin's Law, it would remind me of a certain 20th century Leader, who never considered the possibility of failure or retreat...

BS2 Red Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Tbh really delighted with this. A war memorial remains I wonder how much longer the war memorial will last though? From what I gather, Rovers secured their Wonga loan with the stadium, if they go into administration I am not sure that the loansharks will care about preserving a war memorial, they will be looking to sell as quickly as possible in order to get their money.

Just find it difficult not to feel something for the real footie fans in their lot who have been screwed over again. I know. I know. Screwed over by who? Sainsbury's are legally entitled to break the contract. This was decided in a court of law. The fault should lie firstly with the morons at Rovers who signed a "watertight" contract, but which it later transpires was " ...tortuously, laboriously and in some respects badly, drafted. It makes any draftsman itch to have a try at it...". And with Higgs for his constantly bullshitting throughout the entire process despite all the warning signs that Sainsbury's were pulling out. Up until very recently it was a case of "partners" and "dotting the I's and crossing the T's". Higgs deserves Karma just for that. As he does for not having a plan B in place. When AV went belly up for City we had a plan B - redevelop AG. Rovers have no plan B and amazingly despite all the warning signs about Sainsbury's intent have allowed PP at the Mem to lapse. There an amateurish outfit who've had their fingers burnt; they haven't been screwed over. I'd have some sympathy for Gash fans if they could see this, but they can't. They all think its Sainsbury's fault when Rovers are at least equally to blame for this whole mess. Higgs is trotting out the line that they've been screwed over to hide is own shortcomings and the Gash are lapping it up.
