Bristol Rovers takeover: what does it mean for the planned new stadium?
The announcement today that Bristol Rovers has been bought by the affluent Al Qadi family will be good news for fans - as there have been hints that the new stadium will soon become a reality.
The club is currently involved in a High Court battle with supermarket Sainsbury's over the purchase of the old Memorial Stadium.
With the new owners investment, former Chairman Nick Higgs seemed to suggest in a press conference today that the outcome of the court case was no longer important in deciding whether or not the new stadium could be built.
