    I haven't done anything, I've just expressed my humble opinion, to be honest it really is none of my concern.

    Having read the report on yesterday's decision. All of the additional soundproofing to meet yesterday's decision is to be paid for by Rovers, so that's a cost which is not a problem for Sainsbury.
    But Sainsburys still seem to have another wriggle out factor in that their delivery lorries must have silencers fitted to their airbrakes. How much mileage will they be able to make out of that?

    This is going to profit one group of people in particular - the lawyers.

    But, we are in a far better position than a week ago - I'm (very) cautiously optimistic that we may get a new stadium - probably for 2018.

    Interesting that a Sainsbury's spokesman when asked by the Sunday Times whether their Christmas Day in the trenches ad was at odds with building a stadium on a war memorial stated that:

    “We absolutely refute we are operating double standards. We recognise that the site has historical importance, which is why our plans preserve the memorial stone and create a public square dedicated to the memory of former Bristol rugby players.”

    Surely it would have been easier to say ' Doesn't matter mate, we're not building it.'.......?
