Can we now say that the consortium rumours have moved on a stage from "Complete and utter mischief making bollocks" to "Actually there might well be something about to happen here"? On what basis? The pig was spotted out flying this morning ?

Are you able to elaborate on other source(s)?
got to be the groundsman they know everything about whats going on Nah, it was the bumbling old janitor at the UWE who wears the scary mask. He would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for us pesky kids

The club need full control of the site , a mem rebuild is fine in the medium future but once initial ambitions are reached it becomes a hinderance due to limited capacity. However ,a new build at the UWE which would allow expansion if ever required would be good. The thing is Rovers have to have control as we have seen with Swansea not having complete control can be a hinderance. Swansea after all moved into a 20,000 stadium whilst in league one and due to good progress they found them selves in the premier league. Now however the capacity isn't enough but they don't have the say about expanding it. They can ask....but might not get. The IDEAL stadium is one that is 1) 20,000 to begin with. 2) Can be increased easily to 30,000 if required. 3) Has the capability to hold a 50,000 stadium should long term success be acquired. 4) A final 80,000 capability if they became Champions league established.
Point one is essential all other points would be nice to consider and plan for . However a rebuilt Mem with good facilities and a 20,000 capacity would be fantastic.
I just hope any new stadium is not an atmosphere free and characterless blandocity A real fans stadium has a PROPER home end with a low roof.

I am still loving it that he said no to the stadium It is great to finally be in a position where we can say no. Thank the lord Wael came in and employed the right people to look at the minor details and seen the catastrophic flaws in the proposal. Give him freedom of Bristol right away in my opinion Pretty much with that decision alone saved us from becoming a darlington I love your positivity. It must be brilliant, at least int he short term, to believe everything people tell you. |Its not its just what i see with my own eyes, and that is the club moving forward, paying fee's for players again, academy better than ever been. wage bill highest its ever been. jobs being created to improve on and off the pitch.. more staff than we have ever had... just look at the facts and stop creating problems in your mind. as lines said today this place is 10x what it was during his first spell. be happy.

You shouldn't suppose that you know what's in my mind.
Also it may be worth reminding remind you that we were paying transfer fees in the late 90's, just before experiencing the worst decade and a half in the club's history on the pitch. We were paying transfer fees in trollope's last 2 years at the club, which was just before 2 relegations that put us in non league. Pretty sure we had record wage bills during those periods, too. Spending money isn't everything, if others around you are spending as much, or more.
Anyway, none of those items you mentioned tell me anything about the proposed deal with UWE.

The owner of the football club said it was not a good deal, so guess what it wasn't a good deal! If it was he is a good business man and would of done the deal! It really is that simple. he employed top people in their field to take care of this... i will take their word over yours or any other keyboard warriors on here, i know that much.

I think due diligence was done to the best they could have done it. It wasn't as if the ALQs came in and shut it all down once they got ownership of the club. I don't think there is much more they could have done. Its the ALQs that have changed the terms of the stadium build. No matter how you try and keep things close, someone always has loose lips. I know Ed is on holiday at the moment and returns just before the Wimbledon game so don't expect to hear anything just yet. Ed was at GD's funeral on Wednesday. Left for the Canary Islands yesterday

If everything is perfect at the club why haven't the fence contractors been paid what they are apparently owed? Plus why didn't DC sign a replacement for Monty and also back up for the now struggling Ollie Clarke?

If the fence was finished to a sufficient standard and quality that the fencers thought deserved payment why did they go back on site this week to make repairs?

Funny you say that because this very week they have taken full control of the stadium ! You are correct Henbury. They have signed a lease and will be paying the council £300 k/ year for the lease [ a big increase on what they were paying]. The Ospreys will in turn be paying Swansea for the privilege of using the Liberty and Swansea will be able to extend the stadium as they wish. The only dampener is their league position at present.
