As you will probably know Sainsburys have bought Argos.
I will never shop in Sainsburys again and now I won't shop at Argos.
Why don't we all keep reserving goods from Argos stores but never collect them. I have done this several times and have a smile on my face when I receive emails and text reminding me to pay and collect my goods.
Imagine several thousand Rovers fans doing this on a regular basis. Will cause stock problems in some stores with a bit of luck.

I wouldn't let it bother you too much mate, that ship has sailed as far as I'm concerned. With the benefit of hindsight and the club being in better hands, I think we can put 90% of the blame on Higgs and his watertight contract. Sainsbury's were just protecting their best interests, and to be honest what happened isn't going to stop me buying a phone case in Argos or a £3 meal deal in Sainsbury's.
Each to their own though.

The old board let us down, not any shop chain.

The stadium issue had nothing to do with Argos. Boycotting it just because Sainsbury's has taken over since is a bit too much.

The old board would still be in charge if Sainsbury's had brought the site...in my view Sainsbury's done us a massive favour!

Your taxes are consistently spent on much worse....refuse to pay for foreign wars and buying off dictators, I did.

For the record I'm a ex Sainsburys manager so I know how they work a little better than most.
They are ruthless and only care about the shareholders profits etc.
They treat suppliers and staff with the same contempt.
Check recent history how they have shafted many other companies the same way they treated Rovers.
I agree our old directors were not the best but I will never forgive Sainsburys for the way that acted against us.

They are devils.
They even let you check your tyre pressures for free to entice you in to their lair.
So I check mine once a week and then go shopping at Tesco.

It's our own BoDs fault for getting in that position in the first place. The Sainsbury thing is just part of their failures to do things properly.
The whole club has stagnated for years regardless of the stadium fiasco.
