I don't have a good feeling about it. I did once upon a time. I don't however think that its over yet. One way or another I think a new plan will appear if the original doesn't get signed off. I'll find that hard to get too excited about though, given the history.

I doubt they have Trash & co to contend with and also manage to fall foul of the banking & supermarket fall outs, I'm betting our consortium is led by a rich Arab, who's now lost billions in the oil price drop!! Thinking about that NH did go looking for finance from Bahrain, did he unwittingly cause the oil price plunge!!
As far as the UWE there's been so many rumours about Plan B and the consortium etc I don't know what to think any more, is the news being hidden to keep Sainsbury's off the scent or is there simply no news and the plans will die if we lose the Appeal as so many other stadium plans have over the decades.

NOW I guess when you spend the majority of your time somewhere spouting repetitive nonsense in a clear attempt to wind people up, you shouldn't be surprised if no one there really wants to help you out.

Wow - never realised all hope was lost! When I was six I had loads of hope. Every time I picked up the evening post and saw the latest artists impression of our new stadium I'd get all excited and imagine how great it would be. Over years I've come to realize that there's no point in taking any notice until it actually starts to be built because it's probably just going to be a let down and won't happen. It's a bit like watching England in the World Cup / euros, there's not much point in getting excited because there isn't much to get excited about. I understand what you're saying. I've wanted nothing more for this club since my dad explained to me that we didn't have any money because we didn't own Eastville Stadium (what a great site that would've been for a new stadium had we owned it!). Since then I too have seen all the "suitable sites" denied for one reason or another. However this has always, and still does, feel different. We are further down the road than we have ever been. We have the site, we have planning permission - we're just missing the money. If a modern stadium is as much a cash cow as people believe then - Sainsbury or not - that should be the easy part!

Someone's else's money means someone else's cash cow Of course this is true, but - and I fully expect to be shot down for this - even part ownership of UWE would be a big step forward for BRFC.

If we win the court case it will still have many legal hurdles left. I think we are a lon way off an outcome Court case is just a side line now, the main show is about to start

Sorry to crush your optimism but it ain't gonna happen.Been waiting 40 years, 40 years from now we will still be playing in a run down Mem. In fact by then the Mem could be the last remaining old school football ground in existance. People will travel from far and wide for a unique flavour of watching football at a historic/ traditional ground.

No good feeling at all. If we lost the court case before, why would the appeal be successful? This was one persons decision based upon the facts as she saw them and she admitted that it was a tough call. The appeal will be 3 people and the rovers team have the advantage now in knowing which part of the argument let them down. The 3 judges are likely to be specialists in this area too and so the decision could be different. On a serious note we cannot be sure of the outcome but if we were to win then almost certainly sainsburys will negotiate harder to pull out and a deal will be done. I don't think hat the Mem will ever be a sainsburys

No think this thread should be kept here because if there is positive good news soon and stadium is back on track in which ever way or shape it turns it would be good to see all those eat their words and try and backtrack. Nothing better than a good outing !!

I don't think hat the Mem will ever be a sainsburysI don't think Sainsburys ever intended it to be. If you think about it, why would a company agree to pay twice what most believe to be the market value for the Mem? Especially (and correct me if I'm wrong) as they have a store just down the road, and another a stones' throw away at Abbey Wood. They don't and have never needed a store there. This was a tactic to stop any competition getting a foothold in the area. Nothing more than a ploy to prevent an Aldi or Asda opening up and tempting customers away from their nearby stores. It is a tactic I'm led to believe they've employed several times up and down the country, and BRFC have been used as a pawn in their game. Well - UWE aside - Sainsbury damn well deserve this to come back and bite them on the butt - and I for one hope it does!

They are also sat on land all over the country where they have no intention to build but it stops the competition whilst appreciating in value. Land that could help solve the housing crisis
