So if he told you then it's not confidential. Holmes - yes he said it in front of 3/4 people.
If he said it was confidential and did not want it on social media, I'll respect him. He would never speak to me again if I disclosed it.
DC told three of us in the week leading up to the away game at Portsmouth that he was going to drop a "high profile" player that may not go down too well with Gasheads. The three of us decided that he should never have told us and it we released that info that it could give an advantage to Portsmouth as other clubs do read social media for teams they are playing, as Sainsbury said in Court that they had monitored our social media. JJoT was dropped for the match.
Are you saying that you would publish confidential information on BRFC when you had been asked not?
The others, to my knowledge, are not on social media, so they are not going to say anything.
I assume from that comment NH sanctioned the "New beginning" thread then?

Why bother mentioning it at all then? You have deliberately been feed crap in the past to pass on so perhaps this is a similar occasion. O, we are in a bad mode.
Prey tell me where I have been fed crap? I seem to remember that you have accused JTS, Gasinsider and myself of spouting rubbish about a Consortium/Investor. Did I get upset. No Not me, I've known all along that there have been interested party(s) and I posted when one withdrew and sent the information to The Bristol Post who were scared to publish at the risk of upsetting Higgs.

..... and this thread was going so well Agreed, but there's always somebody waiting to say, I know something that you don't know and I'm not going to tell you what it is. Well, hey ho and bully for them.

Holmes - this is a totally pointless addition to this thread and if it upsets you so much, I'll apologise profusely, beg for forgiveness and not contribute further on this thread if that is your wish.

Why is it that when I hear all this positivity coming out of the AGM from Higgs' words, the cynic in me expects bad news to come?

I guess as a Gashead it just all sounds too good to be true, at present it seems we can't even afford to repay the wonga interest let alone start paying off the loan but come the summer, even of we lose the Appeal, all our debts will be cleared, the wonga loan will be repaid and somebody will be spending £40m building the UWE, even though at present there doesn't even seem a contract in place to build it.

That wasn't my wish either. I appreciate your posts and your reporting of the AGM and the public chats you had prior to and after that meeting. What prompted me to grumble was the final paragraph in your post which said Nick told you some extra stuff unrelated to what you'd told us but you weren't going to tell us what. Surely you can appreciate how frustrating that is?! I can assure you I'm over it though as I'm sure you are over me grumbling about it.

As this may well be my last contribution to this forum do you think JS will make a last ditch offer to Rovers,because if the club win the appeal there are about 40 other deals that JS have walked away from costing people,clubs etc many thousands of pounds and they may feel it is better in the long run to offer Rovers say,for example 15 million to allow them to cancel the contract rather than face numerous court cases for compensation from others in the same position as rovers

It's all conjecture and probably not going to happen, but I would imagine that an offer of around 8 million would be one that Higgs would have to take seriously.....

Also if they do settle this one out of court will that then encourage the other 40 property developers to litigate in the hope they can get an offer out of Sainsbury's? One things for sure if Sainsbury's lose the Appeal then spending a £1m+ taking it to the Supreme court is small change compared to the 40 X £??m's it will cost paying all the other developers? I sense they will also get leave to Appeal if so much is at stake. Question is can we afford to contest another Appeal? Hopefully you'll have second thoughts about quitting as posters having differing views surely makes this forum so strong? If we all agreed with each other it would be a bit boring!

Padstow's posts always provoke a response. I usually either completely disagree or I agree wholeheartedly! Strong opinions, put in a thoughtful way, are very good for the forum.

Topper - I am not sure if NH said this in the open meeting or in a private discussion, but he inferred that he did not expect an appeal to be made to the Supreme Court by either side.
If his assumption is correct, it is all on nothing on the Appeal in January.

I noticed one of you posted that but if Sainsbury's lose then that could open the floodgates to the other 40 property developers pursuing similar claims against Sainsbury's alone. I just sense NH is being a bit naive if he thinks Sainsbury's won't seek a further appeal if it could save them £100m's, although we find out one way or the other early next year.
