Out of interest, how has Higgs f**ked up? Presided over the worst period in the entire history of Bristol Rovers Football Club. This thread isn't about that though, and neither was Peter Hoopers post.

Many thanks for that post Henbury. I always find your contributions on the UWE stadium to have a fair bit of insight. Could you give us an example of where this insight has been demonstrated? I found Henbury's inside knowledge of Sainsbury's application to BCC illuminating and informative, culminating in the evening when planning permission was granted. He correctly and confidently pointed the old forum in the right direction on many occasions with a nod and wink, and I trust his knowledge and posts implicitly. I seem to remember that when Henbury didn't post on the forum any longer, quite a few posters used to call for him to return and enlighten us all. It's not for me to speculate on where he gets his information from, but I have always found it to be reliable.

Well if he was that well informed then going by the contents of the writ he'd have been informing us that there was a major problem with Sainsbury's long ago wouldn't he? Or does he only give us the good news?

Or does he only give us the good news? I think that it would be impossible to go through the whole saga, and his contribution, in one post. If you really are interested in forming an opinion of his contributions over the years, then you would have to go back and trawl through his posts. In the interests of balance though, I would suggest that you begin on the Alternative Forum (well prior to the planning application hearing), I believe that it is still there for reference.

I did, and there is no evidence to say Nick Higgs f**ked up. If you could post a little link to the posts which say he does I would be grateful, after all it's not hard to post a little link is it? Before you or anyone else says it. 1. No, I'm not Nick Higgs 2. No, I'm not a troll.

Also, how was I "defending the indefensible........."? Defending Higgs? What, asking where Higgs f**ked up RE:The UWE? Something that you can't seem to answer. How is that "defending the indefensible........."? If he has f**ked up so easily, why can't you show me where?

Like I said before, can you post a link to the POSTS WHICH PROVE HE F**KED UP please? I've read the thread a few times and can't seem to find them. Also like I said before, it's not hard to post a little link is it? Well it seems it is with you. Just post a link to said posts, if you can't just admit it. It's not a crime to admit your wrong.

Your wrong! You base your assumption on hear say that you read either in the press or on the Forums. What do you base your knowledge on then? If BRFC are having to take Sainsburys to Court for them to go through with the deal then the idea that they're not all that keen isn't based on hearsay is it? The fact that BRFC is taking saisbury's to court tells me that the project is still ongoing, if it wasnt why would BRFC waste the money on cosiderable legal costs. The legal case is about the speed or lack of, that Saisbury's are pursuing the project, not IF they are progressing but how fast.

Definately not a Higgs fan as his record at running a Football is dire but I really don't see that Higgs can be blamed for Sainsburys moving the goal posts . It could be argued though that because of our relegation which incidentally is Higgs and his fellow board members fault that Sainsburys are playing it cool for a cheaper deal with a prime bit of real estate.

ThatsLife, not sure that means the 'project' is still ongoing, maybe more about enforcing a contract. Whether a store is built or not is irrelevant to Rovers, its whether they get the money. Anyway we haven't even got to that bit. Aren't the present proceedings about 'delay' not enforcing the ultimate contract which is a different issue.

You said he was relying on hearsay. The fact that BRFC are having to take them to court suggests that Sainsburys don't want to build, and, if they win in court, they won't build it. That's not forum hearsay is it?
