Cheers Paul. It had to be the land owners who put that covenant on hadn’t it 🙂

I’m not a solicitor, but reading this I believe a covenant can be removed with agreement between the party which imposed the restriction (in this case apparently the Jack Walker Trustees) and the owners of the land (Venkys). What can landowners do to remove restrictive covenants? Many landowners assume that when a restrictive covenant is in place it cannot be removed and they just have to live with it. Fortunately, this is not the case. The first thing to find out is whether or not the covenant is still able to be enforced. If it is not enforceable then an application can be made to the Land Registry to remove the covenant from the deeds. If it is, it may be possible to negotiate with the party that has the benefit of the covenant to remove by entering into a Deed of Release. There will probably have to be some financial recompense for the release of the covenant. https://coodes.co.uk/blog/restrictive-covenants-updating-removing/

What a terrible day to be a rovers fan. Not sure there’s a silver lining on any cloud at the moment.

Under this current regime, we’re heading back to where we were in the 70’s. Lower league football, no training facilities, no money for the first team and no crowds. Brings a bit of realisation to Mowbrays comments this week about us being a long way past a Premier League club. He knows, doesn’t he.

They could develop an elite training facility without selling a huge chunk of it for housing. That’s just bullshit to say otherwise.

So there it is. The club WILL sell off part of Brockhall for housing. Nothings going to change that.

The covenant on the land mentioned earlier in this thread was inserted there by @Paul while he helped out with the trust -I believe. He could be your man.

That’s one impressive lady. Huge respect.

I believe it’s got entangled in red weed. It’s everywhere.

Fantastic. Love this stuff. The science and engineering behind these voyages are mind bending.

Is Waggott strong enough to tell Venkys they have to sack him?

No attempt to protect his own player. It wouldn’t have been difficult. It would have been the decent thing to do.

Sorry - just before 9 pm.

For those interested, it begins its landing tonight just before 8 pm. Fascinating.

5 mill should have bought goals in this league. That would have made a huge difference to our league position. Then add the 7 mill on Brereton and where would/should we have been?

Gallagher might have been better playing central, but he’s still hopeless as a centre forward. He must be one of the worst we’ve ever had - and we’ve had some bad ones. Name me one successful rovers team that has had only one goal scoring striker? I mean, even 10/12 goals from a proper centre forward would have had us up there challenging.

Thank you Alexis.

They’re a good side so we’ll just welly it every time we get the ball? - because from where I was sitting, that’s all we did. This is one day after saying he couldn’t play the short passing game he wanted to play because of Danny Graham.

That busy whingeing, missed our goal.

What positives can he take from this?

Spot on Mercer. If a manager hasn’t got that, he shouldn’t be managing. Would he not want that from his players either?

Labyrinth and Emile Sande - let me see beneath your beautiful.

No they wouldn’t because the pitch deteriorated badly - which is my point.

Maybe you’re right guys. Rohit did bat well for sure. While the wicket was breaking up yesterday, it is disintegrating quickly - it will do once the top has gone. It would have been a worse wicket today for sure, but not that worse to explain the difference between the first innings scores. To have had any chance on this wicket though, England had to bat first. As I said after just half a dozen overs - if India got a big first innings score they would win the test match.
