Is it bizarre ? Or is it self inflicted by lack of communication. If Henbury is correct and meetings have happened recently with South Glous how hard would it be to put a line or two out covering progress. "We have engaged XYZ planning consultants and this month met with South Glous" - one liners in the chairmans program notes as to what they were doing would stop most of the "bizarre" comments. And then as soon as there's no mention of anything happening one month the whole circus starts up again.

OK so that is a reason to say nothing, like your logic there. You will never stop all the moaning, but lots of people are rational, we are all interested in what is going and as fans want to feel part of what should be an exciting project, while there may be things they can't tell us for various reasons engaging people and making them feel part of the club is how you build and keep peoples interest.

Yes, I fully agree with that.

The problem is that you and others find one bit of negative information, add it to two bits of misinformation, 3 rumors and a couple of half truths and then proclaim stuff like "we have no money" "white knight" "Hani wants out" "The Colony wont happen" etc. I'm not saying that it will happen, but some of the anti board rhetoric on here is bizarre. No misinformation from me, problem is posters like you believe the rhetoric from SH who continually fails to deliver, landing lights, top 6 budget, the colony, fans who've heard all before aren't so gullible. I'm amazed anybody who's supported Rovers for a decade or more still falls for it TBH.

Are you really a lord in real life? Is there a forum rule that says a poster has to answer your fu**ing question? Go and skulk off and hide like you did when you kept on at that guy who you taunted about loaning him out to eastleigh and he asked to meet you in a car park. What the hell was your question anyway gutless one? You're really nasty when you've had a drink. It's on page 7. Hmmm, this self proclaimed lord justice guy a bit sociopathy.

The club said "the landing lights were on" thats what they said and we have nothing. They said the training ground would be in place at least partially for 2018-19 and we have nothing. the club said top 6 budget which we dont have. Your nasty or snidey full stop. The manager is disappointed that progress hasnt been more forthcoming on the training ground. How long does pre planning consultation take? who knows? but dont put out shiny happy bullshit statements if you have to wait forever to find out! Your nasty or snidey at all times. So you don't have any basis for saying that the training ground has been massively delayed without explanation then do you? Enjoy your drink. Confirmed.

As yet they have not delivered on some things and have done so on others. I'm just getting fed up with the constant drip feed of "information" with no basis whatsoever.

The more I see or hear the more I think there is a propaganda war going on. The time to say that Rovers dodged a bullet is when we are in a regenerated stadium not while we are still in a delapidated rugby ground. The collapse of the UWE represented for me the Last chance of Rovers competing in this city and I don't think I am the only one who thinks that way. I think many have clung to the hope of watching Rovers playing in a shiny new stadium capable of hosting top class football. My fear is that many will drift away and we will struggle to attract new support if the regeneration does not happen soon. As much as I am enjoying Rovers and the fantatistic job that DC is doing on the field, he won't be here forever and we are being left for dead in terms of progress off of the field. The UWE was never viable in the medium to long term because, as the previous owners did not have enough capital to build it, even with a "Sainsbury's purchase, they mortgaged the balance against future revenue streams. That would have left virtually no money to finance the current rate of cash burn, let alone develop the club. I believe this was what was being renegotiated and fell over because the USE would not budge. As things go it does appear that the current owners have provided a much needed working capital injection which has not only stabilised the finances but provided funds for club development. Being sensible they of course can see the day when that runs out unless progress on all fronts is made. You cannot make progress by giving away your future potential revenues from a major development deal. UWE. It may appear slow, but it makes sense. Unlike most of what went before. In the meantime we are a couple of points off the play off places in Div1. Some people need to get a grip. There you go presenting your thoughts as fact. The only true facts are that we are not getting UWE, we have seen no plans for the regeneration and the training ground is stil fields. I admire your belief and wish I felt the same, but I really struggle after so many years of let downs. I thought that the dodged a bullet comment was premature and patronizing. I thought I made clear that I am more than happy with DC the team and events on the field. We all have opinions and just because mine are different to yours and the more regular posters it won't stop me posting.

No, I agree with that. My point is rather that there's never enough for some people.

The thing is Hugo, I think were going to have to get used to the fact that the Al Q family do not put any information into the public domain until they are ready. SH has apparently told a fan they are very closed mouthed about their business dealings and we've certainly seen the level of professionalism they've brought to the club. How different to the Higgs era, when the club had more leaks than the Rosy-faced lady gardens wallet, and the likes of Gasincider could float a whole new load of b0llocks every few weeks and send the forum into meltdown for days. I think his ilk like the attention and kudos. What do we know now? It seems the club are in the process of submitting detailed planning for the Colony, and are holding preliminary discussions and consultation regarding redeveloping the Mem. Until the A Q family tell us any different, I remain in the same camp as you. In the meantime we have an exciting team to watch with a brilliant and innovative manager in charge, a man who will hopefully be with us for he next 5 years. After the crap I've had to endure for most of my years supporting The Gas these are some of the best days of my life!
