It was heard today that Lord Justice's Laws, McCombe and Floyd have upheld the decision made by Lord Justice Proudman and turned down Bristol Rovers appeal against that judgement. A spokesperson for Bristol Rovers said: "We will be looking closely at the judgement to assess its implications for the Club and it's future and will make a further statement in due course."

We had already messed up the contract terms, whilst trying to do things correctly, others were able to utilise the conditions in the contract to suit their outcome.

Time to move on. At least we have a good future in front of us, irrespective of the decision.

Well done Mr Higgs for our watertight contract campaign.
Can we ban him now? JOKE!

Why would anyone want a redeveloped Mem?
We still have planning permission for a brand, spanking new stadium and now we also have wealthy owners and directors with the expertise to help us build it.

Based on the fact we've previously been told the appeal judgement was irrelevant, I'd be disappointed if our "further statement" is much more than a shrug of the shoulders. |

In Higgs we trust?
If he had thought that we were going to win, he would not have sold the club, would he?
The drawn-out pantomime is now over. Can we now get rid of Watola? He is associated with the whole sorry episode from start to finish. He has no credibility left with BRFC supporters and should be dispensed with. Harsh, but perfectly fair.

He is associated with the whole sorry episode from start to finish. He has no credibility left with BRFC supporters and should be dispensed with. Harsh, but perfectly fair. I think with any regime change, it's only prudent to keep the best of what you have and replace with better. If Mr Watola (with a silent 'T') is replaced, I would hope the replacement has a better working cv and can seek to improve on his position. With all the contacts and experience the new encumbrances bring, I'm more than confident that a suitable replacement can be found, and instinctively I would applaud that immediately. |

Today is not a bad news day.
The new owners knew what they were buying and it didn't include Sainsbury's as a buyer for The Mem.
The old owner knew that it was game over.
Time to move on with these happy days.
