The article also quotes a Rovers spokesman as saying "we dont want compensation to give up the contract" That suggests that Sainsburys have made a move to offer compensation to get out. If so that does provide some encouragement that they recognise that they cannot just pull out. So its probably now going to be about how little they can pay us without going to court. I think they will try and tempt the directors with enough money to repay their loans and maybe build a nice new stand at the current ground? the trouble is that will bring Carstairs,Trash,Rose and all the other saddo nimbys out in force again,its a never ending circle that has been and always will be Bristol Rovers. The late Fred Ashmead,the Chairman in 1940 who signed the bill of sale for the stadium to the Greyhound Company without the boards full approval, has a lot to answer for!

.....or is it just more guessing from a press desperate to sell papers. Someone is not telling the whole truth somewhere in all this!

Who is the source of this information to a small time rag? Whilst it is easy to say it will/will not happen, this could of course be an attempt to sell a few papers! If I were Sainsburys or BRFC, I would not be telling a paper who, until 10 minutes ago, I did not know existed.

If the local paper have got it wrong it will only take a simple statement from Rovers and Sainsbury to put it right. Although jolly good luck with getting a simple statement out of Sainsbury (can't say about your club).

This exposes dick heads like Bridgeman, who's been claiming all along he's in the know, for the idiot he and his ilk are

".....or is it just more guessing from a press desperate to sell papers." SSshhhhhhh let's see if we can go for a record number of pages in this latest bitch-fest!? I believe this press release. It sounds about right and is backed up by recent evidence.

It sounds about right and is backed up by recent evidence. Of course you would. No disrespect, but after all the negative posts about the board, you are hardly going to come out and say no I'll leave it till we get some official news. It's that "band wagon" yet again that quite often comes through here...
