Perhaps this explains why the UWE said they intended continuing alone with the stadium plans when we pulled out. Although I doubt RL in Bristol could attract 2,000 gates let alone 22,000. Where did UWE say that? That would be a weird thing to say following the breakdown when before the vice-principal was on Points West saying he'd rather have a new library or a new science block on the site than a stadium.

Where did UWE say that? That would be a weird thing to say following the breakdown when before the vice-principal was on Points West saying he'd rather have a new library or a new science block on the site than a stadium. PLANS for Bristol Rovers to move to a new stadium at UWE’s Frenchay Campus could still be salvaged, says the university’s vice-chancellor. Dwane Sports, who own the club, announced last night that they would no longer be planning to move to a new 21,700-seater stadium, abandoning more than six years-worth of planning after they were “unable to agree acceptable terms” with the university. They added that they would begin looking elsewhere for a new permanent home. Plans had been in the works for more than six years, with the club looking to relocate to the "UWE Stadium" on the Frenchay Campus from the Memorial Stadium, with the construction of the stadium, and a 1,270-space car park for the university. A statement issued by the company on the football club’s website last night said: "Dwane Sports is disappointed to announce that its discussions with UWE regarding a potential stadium development for the Club have been brought to a close as the parties were unable to agree acceptable terms. "We will now immediately turn our attention to exploring all other opportunities for a new stadium or for a substantive redevelopment of the Memorial Stadium, whilst at the same time continuing to develop the new Colony training ground. "We would like to thank the Club's supporters for your continuing patience as we continue to work on this very important project." But in a statement released this morning by vice-chancellor Steve West, he said that the university “has not given up on this hugely important project” and that “the door remains open for a deal to be struck”. The statement said: “UWE Bristol has not given up on this hugely important project. We have been and remain committed to delivering a new stadium and were disappointed to hear from Dwane Sports that they wish to bring negotiations over the proposed stadium at UWE Bristol to a close. “We have always wanted the stadium project as part of our vision for the University and wider Bristol community masterplan for the Frenchay Campus. We still believe it would bring great benefits to the university, local community and the regional economy. “We have worked diligently and patiently with the new owners of the club and although we have been disappointed by the slow pace of negotiations, we are still willing and open to continue negotiations. “This has been an initiative the university has been working on for over eight years and we still believe is deliverable. Planning consent does not expire until January 2018 and the door remains open for a deal to be struck and the University will continue to work on this project."

That says they're open to continuing to working with Rovers. The context is clearly crucial to the bit you've highlighted. The "project" being a deal being struck which is the preceding clause of the same sentence.

Alright then, this highlighted bit. It matters not whether they were open to continuing to work with Rovers. The clearly imply they remain committed to a new stadium with or without us.

But they don't clearly imply that at all. You keep highlighting half sentences where the second half of the sentence contextualises the bit you highlight. The second half of that sentence included. The reference is clearly to the relationship with Rovers not a reference to going it alone. That's like saying "My boss says he's going to double my pay" when what he said was "You'll start earning twice as much ... If you double your hours".

Solution is simple really, Bristol Sport buy the Mem and run both rugby sides there. Rovers build new stadium in Avonmouth / Severnside where over a 1000 acres are set for development there. Simples

That's seem pretty clear cut to him, perhaps he's been misquoted but the clear reference from that was they would continue to work on the project. Perhaps for once on here you could accept your in the wrong? As far as the UWE there new £55m(!) Business & Law School opened this summer: www1.uwe.ac.uk/bl/bls.aspxSo it's not that site the bulldozers are clearly.

The other half clearly being a desire to move forward with Rovers on board.

As soon as I read that SL had been giving UWE financial advice, I knew that they were going to make it difficult for us. they have sold out to SL.
