J. Sainsbury's supermarket retailer is currently ( by way of the High court) trying to squirm their way out of a £30 million deal to buy The Memorial ground from Bristol Rovers football club and by doing so threatening the long term financial ambitions of a small but loyally supported football club!
Any football fan with any belief in the under dog over coming the actions of an unfeeling and money hungry philistine such as Sainsbury's and other corporations of the like, should search their minds and hearts and lend support to a cause that could effect anyone of the smaller clubs in the football league !

Reading through your stories about the Memorial ground reminds me why this contract matters so much. We are still pushing back against these corporate tactics behind the scenes.

The momentum behind this is incredible. It is clear that people are tired of corporations treating clubs like pawns.

Dubious business practice by what I thought was a trusted British institution, shame on Sainsburys
A deal is a deal, and Rovers are now back in the football league. They are relying on you .
Play Fair Sainsbury's, do the honourable thing and keep to that contract you signed..... It's not the fault of Bristol Rovers that the economic climate has changed!
Just because you realised after you signed the contract that it wasnt going to benefit you,, thats not bristol rovers football club faul.. #playfairsainsburys #wewantournewground.
the city needs this a new store will bring more jobs a new stadium the same result Bristol can not afford to lose out on this
come on Sainsbury's just pay up and we can all get on with it.
Sainsburys shouldn't be allowed to walk away from a contract you have signed they need to honour this or contracts count for nothing

Sainsbury's do the honourable thing. If you don't want a giant superstore..design and build an inner city village complete with a green.. but just honour your signed contract
