Wael interview later tonight (Redevelop the Mem is the plan)

Stay tuned to what?

Go on Bristol post and it tells you what he says. Says we are redeveloping the mem

He's a banker if you ask me.

What a load of sh**.

Very underwhelming. Great more arguments with local protest groups.

Well that's a bit depressing. Full circle to a flawed plan. I wonder what the max capacity will be in a redeveloped mem? They''ll need to get creative with the development to get anywhere near 20k. Do they do quadruple-tiered tents nowadays?

Yeah, one of the best locations you could get, and certainly light years ahead of any available land in the city (it seems), especially if you're talking Avonmouth or Lyde Green, or somewhere like that. There's almost no unclaimed brownfield land in north Bristol, and none, afaict, closer to the centre.

Just not looking forward to another 3 or 4 years reading about all the ups and downs and the stupid NIMBY protests, and waiting on BCC, and all the other sh** that we've had for the last 20 years.

Would redeveloping The Mem be that bad?

If we could find another site suitable in 5-6 years?

I know it'll be even more time and money but other clubs have done it.

Leicester completely redevoloped Filbert St and then moved to a new stadium about 5 years after.

Derby did the same to The Baseball Ground and then moved to Pride Park about 3 years after.

Whether it is feasible for Rovers to do something similar, I dont know, and its probably doubtful.

But it has been done before

Not saying you are wrong i.e. 15k surely you could get men to 18k at least?? How long it will take another thing protests etc !!
