Not so sure they will as they will will want to try and keep there good name in Bristol, they clearly need every penny, well 50p, from shoppers at present. If the contracts are watertight they may pay up rather than drag this though the courts in the public domain, don't forget customers have long memorys. and the longer they drag it out the more they pay - the writ takes care of that !

Well you've got more faith in it than I have. I look at it as they've got a shitload of money to spend on legal team and they'll drag it out. toppergas.... i don't think Sainsbury's would give a shït about keeping their good name in Bristol. Even if Gasheads organised a boycott, it would only be a few thousand households. And that would only be until loo paper and 12 cans of Stella were on special and people would forget and be back. Some people just can't hold a grudge for more than five minutes these days.

I know nothing of the ins and outs of this, however, damages is not the only remedy for breach of contract. The courts have the ability to grant an equitable remedy(Specific Perfomance) that compels a party to perform the contract according to its terms, in order that justice is done. This may be used, at the courts discretion, where monetary damages are inadequate. I'm not suggesting that this would necessarily be the outcome, however, it is a route that may be pursued if the planning application successful and Sainsburys do not honour the terms of the contract. Time is our biggest enemy; the wheels of justice turn very slowly. 100% right there. Even if damages are awarded Sainsbury's will be still be fighting the case in five years time. There's no way they'll want to pay...... anything

To be honest none of us know if it's going to happen or not. All these people saying I can't believe people think it's still going to happen, are only guessing that it won't anyway. The club or Sainsburys are not allowed to talk about it, have any of these special people who "know" its not going to happen seen the contract???
I can tell by twitter and interviews, what a load of rubbish!! Nothing has been said, apart from we are still fighting for it.
Are any of these special pyscic know it all fans the same ones that "knew" that we would be in another relegation battle with DC and this squad???
Yes give opinions, however, don't make out you know when you don't and that other people are wrong when they could be the ones that are right.

Wouldn't want some of you running my business. If Sainsburys are granted additional delivery times they pay up in full. It's in the contract and all this crap about them dragging it on for years is pie in the sky. The courts have it in their remit to award punitive damages for breach of contract, and that takes very little time to assess. The damages could easily outstrip the original price and Sainsburys know this. This is what courts use to persuade big companies to honour contracts to little ones. If We win the appeal to the planning department , Sainsburys will pay up within days. Great story.

It sounds as though some on here believe that the stadium won't happen and that is their prerogative if thats what they want to believe. However it seems some are not happy with just doubting, they want to kill off everyone else's hopes. The official word is that negotiations are ongoing and untill I hear differently officially then that is what I choose to believe. I simply don't want to think about what will happen if we don't get a new stadium that is absolutely crucial to the future of this club.

I'd love to see the new stadium - or a developed Mem - and I honestly don't know If it will happen or not. But can someone explain just why it is crucial for the club's survival? Why would a smarter Mem with a good south stand be no use to us?

Why would a smarter Mem with a good south stand be no use to us? I said crucial to the future not survival we could probably survive with what we have as we are . But who wants to survive as we are. I think long term we are going to need a new stadium if we are going to compete for support in this city.

People get imprinted by the language used by NH and others. Crucial is used often when the stadium is mentioned even though it's not been mentioned for a very long time. If people can still look at the very real evidence of the writ & timeline and still believe the stadium is still going to happen then God bless them. The evidence suggests otherwise and also a very manipulative chairman who never spoke the truth this allowing many to give time and energy when he knew Sainsbury's were saying they wanted out and would not go ahead. It really is that simple. Anyway, it's everyone's choice what they WANT to believe end of the day.

I think I will keep the faith, hope that everythings ok, and wait for (hopefully) everything to be sorted and the thing is being built.
Think I may have a long wait...!
