Our blue friends that have been all over our forum lately are strangely quiet tonight. Funny that.

I've just been reading a 4 page thread on how their away support is still far superior to ours (despite taking over 8k away over the last 2 away games)

The bit I really like is when one particular poster said our average on 1400 was poor last season and if they were in the same position they would take loads more!

If they are so ******* loyal why don't they take more than that now?

IF, and it's a big IF, their away support is so much better than ours - what about their home support?

They can't even fill those tents at home and we're selling out pretty much every home game having won only 2 at home all season

some of them also think you can use your home support to away support as a % on how 'amazing' they are!

Using their logic Man United have some of the worst away support I the country.

....but they have been in the same position as we were last season, the year they bottled it and gradually fell from the automatic promotion places and out of the Play Offs on the final day of the season. They weren't taking thousands away on average that season so what's changed? Answer: nothing...typical dopey Gashead making stupid predictions based on no facts whatsoever.

That only proves how shit their home support is.

The asshead 15ers won't catch the top 3 in the basement, they don't score enough goals.

Hopefully they **** up in the playoffs, they used up their play off luck last season.

The club immediately sought right to challenge the decision and have now confirmed the appeal, which is likely to take three days, will be heard on January 26 or January 27, 2016.

Genuine question, when is their next fixture against Sainsbury's?

I thought it was this month.

It has been listed but it is a 'floater'. http://casetracker.justice.gov.uk/listing_calendar/getDetail.do?case_id=20152702

Basically, it's not been assigned a courtroom so it's a case of be there and be ready from 26 January in case a court room becomes available, but there's no guarantees it will be the 26th. It could kick off on the 27th. 

This is not so uncommon and aims to prevent court rooms being sat empty for swathes of time, for instance there may be a court room set aside and assigned to another case which then settles out of court/finishes early etc. In that case you'd move your floater in.

Here he is, the needy Saghead who pretended to be a Pompey fan.

At least Miah and In The Net had the balls to stick around and post whilst you were  in Non League....you don't even like to admit who you support when you're doing well.

Court Circular

Talk in legal circles is that Sainsbury's are diametrically opposed to any pre-hearing settlement and this has prompted Nicholas to go off at a tangent.

But in legal squares the opinion is that all sides have an equal chance of success and if Nicholas does a 180 degree turn he will meet himself coming back. 

Legal triangles predict a three cornered fight between Nicholas, the other shareholders and a congruent of investors wishing to build the UWE and rent it back to Rovers.

Whilst at the oval office pentagon staff are briefing special forces tasked with rescuing Colin Sexstone who is trapped at the Mem having been thrown a curved ball.

More news is expected as events begin to take shape at the Royal Courts Of Justits.

Shaping up nicely then.

Good luck Rovers. This isn't about rivalries, it's about football winning out over large corporates who think they can walk over anyone they wish. 

I would imagine that some of the small independent traders in Gloucester Road would consider a football club to be a large corporate and have a similar view to the blue few, that they have on Sainsbury's.

Given the bitchfest that's broken out on nearly all the other threads about who should or shouldn't be the next manager and who is or isn't ITK, thinking about the sags' court appeal offers a bit of life relief.

Whilst I've throughly enjoyed their travails over the last two years there's part of me that wants them to build their new stadium.  In all the 50 years I've been following the City we've never had a decent away end in which to sing our songs whilst playing the sags.  It would be nice at sometime in the future to travel to S. Glos with 4000 odd of us and really belt out "drink up thee cider" whist watching our brave boys in red giving their sad sorry rag asses a proper football hiding.

You're brave. Go up there and there will be least a billion of them in their new car park, each and every one of them locked out. Imagine the smell.

I would love nothing more than them slipping slowly into administration, selling off their assets and ground sharing with Bristol MF, while Weston-super-Mare AFC become the second largest club in the area.

Come on, we all know they're gonna win, get awarded costs, get a new stadium, get compensation, get a Brucie bonus, get a free spin and spend the change on the winning ticket for some Euro rollover.

Can't believe my acca never came in last weekend, I'm ALWAYS spot on.

#Hedging

and then do what they always do, sell it all when they can't afford it anymore.

Looks like agent McCombe is on the case:

Read more: http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Judge-fundamental-error-refused-hold-Sainsbury-s/story-28606561-detail/story.html#ixzz3yO8HV2fb

 

A judge made a "fundamental error" when she refused to hold supermarket giants, Sainsbury's, to the £30 million purchase of Bristol Rovers' Memorial Stadium.

The club says Sainsbury's welched on the deal which was to pave the way for Rovers' move to a state-of-the-art new ground on University of the West of England's Frenchay campus.

Rovers narrowly lost the argument in the High Court last year, but is now battling to reverse that result at the Court of Appeal.

Opening the case, barrister, David Mathias QC, said: "Bristol Rovers continues its fight to hold Sainsbury's to the sale of the Memorial Stadium"

He insisted that the supermarket chain was "under a continuing obligation" to go through with the deal when it unlawfully pulled out.

The QC said the club had "very nearly succeeded" in winning its case before High Court judge, Mrs Justice Proudman, last year.

It only lost on a fine point of contractual interpretation and Mr Mathias said it would not take much for the club to be "homeicon1.png and dry".

"We say the judge's conclusion was wrong; we ask this court to reverse it and allow the appeal, obliging Sainsbury's to complete the purchase of the Memorial Stadium", he added.

........

The hearing before Lords Justice Laws, McCombe and Floyd continues and is expected to last three days.

The parasite squatters are a bit too chirpy for my liking lately. They are currently playing their trade in a god awful league and all of the attendance obsession, 82 shouts, 2nd May, posting betting slips of whoever are playing against us "to win" on Facebook, and jacking off about the goal from Rickie Lambert in the paint pot cup shouts are coming out of the woodwork again.

I think they need to be brought back to reality after 2 years of silence, desperation, and non-league wilderness football?

Can someone come up with a nice YouTube video to bring them back down to earth with the huge bang that they deserve?

My suggestion is the shout from Clem when the Sags were away at Forest Green "Rovers fans singing their anthem....Come On Eileen" and it could start with Come On Eileen playing and have the video of them singing the gas are staying up at Wycombe followed by them storming the pitch when relegated out of the football league, Jeff Stelling announcing that they are gone after 92 years, some news headlines about horse punching, attacking their own stewards, racist abuse, and their fans trying to fight with opposition players because they think they are too big for non-league football? How about a montage of all the goals they conceeded to some right tin-pot outfits?

They need a reality check of what a poxy little outfit they really are. 82 is nothing compared to the joke they became.

Don't forget the references to the Thatcher years, dogs dying, etc :-)

It's a win either way it goes.

IF they lose then it's goodnight Moreen forever, hmmmmmmmmm shame..........

IF they win, then they survive, clear a debt and build a scaled down version of what they originally planned, the plus side of course to this scenario is that we get to see it burn down "accidentally" and yet again they remain become homeless AGAIN.

And it's this sort of post that makes it oh so moronic when you start bleating on about how nasty the big bad police are. Honestly I'm not sure there's a bigger moron on these boards.

My sources suggest BRFC aren't exactly confident about winning this appeal.

 

I think they had to do it; I would have done.

The original ruling seemed very considered and in line with the law.

This appeal is based upon Sainsburys should have done the "right" thing rather than used the options within the contract to legally exit it. Sometimes this moral argument carries the day but they would be deluded to think they stand a strong chance of winning rather than it being something worth one more throw of the dice.
