Bristol Rovers will discover later if they've won their High Court appeal to force Sainsbury's to honour an agreement to buy the Memorial Stadium.>The football club is challenging an earlier ruling that the supermarket chain could walk away from a deal to buy the ground and so fund a move to a new one at the University of the West of England.

The £30 million deal to redevelop the ground as a giant supermarket is key to the club's plan to move to a new stadium in Stoke Gifford.>Based near the University's Frenchay campus, the stadium in Horfield will be able to seat 21,700 fans and will be called the UWE stadium.

The judges today (17 March) will decide if Sainsbury's could be held to its end of the deal. There have been protests over the supermarket giant's attempts to back out of a deal to buy the Memorial Stadium.>Once sold, the club can then go ahead with their plans.
