I am having a spiritual meeting in my downstairs loo and have invoked the ghosts of Nostradamus and Old Mother Shipton. I have checked my tea leaves and tarot cards, and the message from the other side is "Hear not the message of false prophets. They speak to you in tongues of another land. Bristol Rovers will play Dover next season."

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have it on good authority that this scheme is being eyed with extreme suspicion by HMRC as some very disreputable individuals who are said to be laundering cash through it. I can't see how Rovers cannot stay up with all the dodgy dealings going on there! That lot make Robert Maxwell look like a primary school kid stealing 10p to get some penny treats. ^ a friend from South of the river. Too obvious, trying too hard Au contraire, the amount of amateurism and naivety that has been going on their has even had Interpol reportedly interested (possibly to do with the 'takeover' deal that fell through). Keep your ears to the ground and you will learn of all sorts. I'd be surprised if Rovers weren't reinstated by the end of the week if the FA have investigated what I understand has been presented to them.

Just posted on one of their forums (don't worry - just topping up my schadenfreude) "I'd be surprised if Rovers weren't reinstated by the end of the week if the FA have investigated what I understand has been presented to them." Bless! Clearly still in the denial stage - anger, bargaining and depression still to come, before they finally accept that they are out of the league

Rovers legal team have stated that talks with Wycombe were still ongoing at 5pm so any decision reached will not be known tonight.

Why are there talks or negotiations with Wycombe? Isn't this meant to be part of a FA investigation? Or are we just sparing and showboating before they get hit by the big guns at HMRC?

Hi City / Wycombe fan (delete as appropriate) you know full well he meant talks between the FA and Wycombe not Rovers lawyers and Wycombe! Tut tut, far too transparent old boy!

Howardgreene. If you got spare time on your hands, ( you know, if you're not w*nking at the moment) go raise funds for St Johns Ambulance. After all you've owed them over £10,000 since, when was it, oh I know 1982 .

From the Wycome chairman.... A 'BIZARRE, ridiculous scenario' and a 'non event' was how Wanderers chairman Don Woodward described the legal challenge Bristol Rovers are making in a bid to stay in the Football League at Wycombe's expense.
Woodward is due to meet with Football Association chiefs today as an investigation into allegations of breaching third party ownership rules draws to a conclusion.
The FA is then set to deliver its verdict early next week, with Rovers calling for Blues to be deducted points and therefore be relegated into non-league football.
But at a meeting of Wycombe Wanderers Trust members on Tuesday, Woodward laughed off that prospect and reassured fans the club has no case to answer.
Rovers claim Wanderers were in breach of regulations over Matt Phillips' transfer from the club to Blackpool in 2010, which handed Blues an 'unfair competitive advantage' last year that the Adams Park side benefited from.
Wanderers reported the matter to the footballing authorities and were handed a £10,000 fine and warned as to their future conduct.
Phillips' agent Phil Smith denied three counts of breaching the rules but was subsequently found guilty and given a six month ban.
When asked about the latest situation at Tuesday's meeting, Woodward said: "It's a non event. It's a disgruntled bunch of lawyers with an upset agent, who tried to give hope to people who grasped at it.
"It's a daft, bizarre, ridiculous scenario - you couldn't make it up.
"Our view is there's no case to answer because there's no problem.
"Had there been a case to answer the question of sanctions against the club would never have been a points deduction. There was never a chance of relegation. Had there or should there have been a case against us by either the FA or the Football League, the maximum penalty would have been some form of fine."
Bristol Rovers have said they intend to seek damages from Wanderers over the affair, which is being investigated jointly by the FA - who are leading the enquiry - and the Football League.
Woodward confirmed at the meeting that the club has not spent anything on legal fees.
