We need a standard template to print and leave with abandoned goods Preferably sat on frozen and chilled goods not dry goods. Be careful, you may find that constitutes damaging stock.

If you are talking about the UWE then I know who thought of it. And who put a lot of time and effort in before it became local `knowledge`. And that was around the same time Redrow built the first of many houses on that development. Around 6/7 years ago?? Maybe longer, the memory is fading!! The Mem development tho wasn't that cut and dried to be fair was it?
So Bamber, who`s idea was the UWE??? South Glos Council?

No need to target perishables, just take stuff randomly over a wide area so that it would take someone a good 10-15 minutes to put it all back. Sainsbury's will be paying that person just above minimum wage but with overheads each replacement task might cost them about £2. Repeat 500,000 times....

I've got a problem with this Sainsbury's boycott/protest.
My old Mum who is 87 really likes her Heinz Tangy Pickle in her sandwiches.
Tesco have stopped selling it but my nearby Sainsbury's has not.
It's a no brainer really my old Mum who has brought me nothing but love and happiness will come first before a private limited company run by a bunch of bafoons.

Hardly. I thought the fountain of knowledge would have answered by now . He hasn't been too far off the money with his predictions and knowledge so far though has he. Perhaps you should go after In The Know who seems to have dissapeared.

Perhaps you should go after In The Know who seems to have dissapeared. Go after?? Bamber asked me the question and has not come back.. As for not being too far off the money, the man has covered his bases plenty of times. Changed his mind plenty of times and even backed a Rovers win in court after giving his `changed` expert opinion a few times.!! The man is good at condescending and re wording the take of others I will give him that.

It's a no brainer really my old Mum who has brought me nothing but love and happiness will come first before a private limited company run by a bunch of bafoons. Solution. Buy one tin of Heinz Tangy Pickle. Add one hundred separate items of non-perishable goods to your trolley. Get them all bleeped through. Then "change your mind" and just ask for the bill for the pickle.

Oh right, must have missed it. Wasn't the writ issued after the deadline had passed?
The only action that the writ forced was that it made Sainsbury's prove what they had already claimed, namely that they were entitled to walk away from an expired contract. Not that it really matters now but wasn't expiry confirmed as being Nov 14 and we missed it by 20 days?

You people are weak j S Sainsbury have manipulated contract law to the full, and the judge has just gone with the big corporate v little guy. Screw moving on, why not a war on sainsburies. Get your backbone and get revenge. This isn't a minor disagreement. This has cost out club big time. They are to blame. Not Higgs. sainsburies are to blame. Reneged. Rovers drafted a crap contract and Sainsbury's took advantage of a legal route out of the contract, the worst thing that can be said of Sainsbury's is that they weren't as diligent at preparing an appeal against the planing refusal as they might have been, but that was not the finding of judge. Rovers legal team was led by a QC, a rank attained by an elite few, so I struggle to swallow this argument that we lost because it's some fight between David and Goliath. The fact we allowed this to go to court when we probably could have negotiated an amicable settlement a year ago is yet another failure that the BoD should be help accountable for. Fact is, Sainsbury's owe us nothing, they have a responsibility to their shareholders, they have a responsibility to obey the law, they do not have a responsibility to act contrary to their own interests in order to help Bristol Rovers Football Club. We are not entitled to any sort of revenge or restitution against Sainsbury's, to argue otherwise is childish, petulant and uppity. The BoD on the other hand do have a responsibility to the club, they have failed to act in our best interests and they are to blame. Not Sainsbury's. Perfection. Absolutely spot on The fact the so many are seeking to lay blame is now firmly entrenched into the fan base and Mr Higgs must be very happy with this.

That seems about to sum it up I reckon, although I'm not too sure about the 'trust in' bit, I think I'd substitute 'suffer with' ? Of course, if you know of a viable alternative, please get in touch with Nick pronto please so you can put many of us out of our misery and probably Nick too. Bridgey, such is mine, yours and thousands of others loyalty to the FC that causes endless hours of worry it did get me thinking about solutions, much has been said in the past about if 1000 people paid x in advance or 2000 people paid y in advance it would generate £m's, the level of trust is in the minus scale for the majority as NH seems incapable of stringing a sentence together that feels like the truth. So having read what lots of people are thinking about in using there own time to protest against Sainsburys it got me thinking, one thing that so many fans used to be good at prior to current and past directors splitting the fan base was contributing their time on a voluntary basis, so a potential solution that woke me up in the middle of last night (yes very sad to be dreaming about it) was for a group of organised fans to do the marketing of the club as being up for sale, and look for online places where investors can be found, there has to be between say 20-30 people willing to generate publicity online publicity for the FC, given that people are willing to generate bad publicity for Sainsburys why not just use the energy to get the name of the club out there, i'm sure i'm not the only person who works in online sales and marketing and wants to see the club rescued from its current predicament. Fantastic idea

Except that Sainsburys drew up the contract and the clubs lawyers allowed the directors to sign it. And, as far as I can tell, had something else been done between March 2014 and June 2014 we might have had a watertight contract. So the writ, others are referring to as a futile gesture, wasn't actually futile. Anyway, I completely agree that the BOD is responsible. Sainsburys and Trash have shafted us but the bottom line is that the BOD has f**ked up yet again. So now what? We can have a BOD which some fans choose to rally behind or we have a BOD which the fans universally hate. Is either option really any better than the other?

It's a moot point as we have a split fan base that no longer acts in a united manner. I just hope we have an FC to follow in around 3/4 years time. I firmly believe that, under the continuing leadership of the present chairman, That we will not.

Fantastic idea You could start by putting it on eBay , won't sell on there but the fact you have listed it may get you some publicity.

Or maybe post it the Gulf Times and try and snare a Billionaire oil Sheikh investor without even the aid of a prospectus written on a bit of A4? Oh - hang on...

How about an online campaign twitter etc a few hundred Gasheads doing this daily could cause much more publicity than 30 seconds of local media coverage from a store protest
