From the Post:
Rovers Chief Names Ground Decision Day
Bristol Rovers are to decide at a board meeting whether to move to Ashton Gate next season. Although there is a strong feeling the club may remain, the chairman said today: "We have not made up our minds. The next couple of weeks are important to make sure everything is organised for next season. We want to make the right move, but we can't delay much longer. There are still a few things that need to be sorted out and a decision must be made in two weeks".
Rovers have had talks with Bristol C**y...I understand terms for a three-year agreement with the C**y board have been agreed.
Brochure
The Rovers chairman...is determined that Rovers will eventually have their own home. Rovers are still planning a farewell celebration after the last game of the season. But a special brochure to mark the club's move has not been published as planned. Rovers insist there is no significance in the delay. "The printers are ready to press the button as soon as a decision about leaving is taken".

Written by Peter Godsiff. Taken from the Evening Post, Tuesday April 12, 1982.

From the same page of the same paper:
"Bristol C**y's share issue has received a boost from the Bristol Rovers board. Rovers directors Martyn Flook, Barry Bradshaw and Nigel Roydon each contributed £10. C**y (1982) have now banked more than £20,000 of the £300,000 they need to buy Ashton Gate and rebuild the club".

Give a guy a break. A really well timed, ironic bit of Rovers history.
Some obviously want the version with subtitles spelled out for them.
Thanks GasMacc1.
