At last, hopefully 3 wins in a row (salisbury, Sutton and that nasty shop).

Well done Billy. I'm glad you got to break the news.
So much for me saying the club will know in advance (it will have done) and will break the news ahead of the court listing (unless it can't be arsed or assumes we wouldn't be interested).

I doubt they fancy a contempt of court order? Well done Billy for keeping us updated.

It is going to be a difficult day for any directors going to this weekends matches.
They will probably have to wear straight faced masks to hide their emotions whatever the decision they have been told

If they do know they will be in contempt of court if they reveal the judgement ahead of it being announced in court.

Irrespective of the result of the case, I should like to propose three cheers for billyocean, for providing services to the forum over and above those expected of a member; and all done with a quiet charm, good grace and civility. Hip hip . . . hooray. Hip hip . . . hooray. Hip hip . . . hooray. Nice one billy.

I get that, it just seems arse backwards to me, to be told in advance of the result and then turn up for the pantomime. Or is that just so either side can raise their willingness to appeal?

Finally we will get to know either way! Appeals pending, at least we can finally put this whole farce to bed once and for all.
For what it's worth this is my prediction on the verdict:
Justice Proudman will concur with Sainsbury's view that the contract had lapsed and so they are not compelled to complete the contract in full. However, she will find that they allowed Rovers to incur additional costs in pursuit of the sale when they had no intention to complete. Therefore, she will rule that Sainsbury's should compensate Rovers for the costs incurred, however Sainsbury's will not be liable for the full contract cost of £30m. A result that will write off the stadium losses incurred to date by Rovers but not the 'golden ticket' to get the UWE built. Rovers stay at the Mem (and retain ownership), but get enough cash to pay off the Wonga loan (which Rovers will argue was an additional cost of pursuing the stadium sale) and all other stadium sunk costs.
