With no agenda , I can post what I’ve heard when I like and you can choose to respect it or ignore it as it’s yours and bluebutterflys choice , but others on here may be interested to hear what I have had to say regardless of what you think. There’s no agenda just like there’s no money . You've offered no proof there is no money but by saying there is none, you've offered proof of agenda. okay I have an agenda and agenda is for change, sound familiar? 😘

Have you put 2 & 2 together yet to work out why the club were so reluctant to pay for the fence, as it seems the issue was far bigger than just a lack of money? If we have no money who's paid to bring in Mensah, Craig & Bennett when DC could have been simply told to bring in 3 cheap loan players plus if the ALQ's have no money who's invested £12m+ in the club? Someone's paying the grand for the Oxford beamback. Probably a loan against the ground. Oh dear Dont you think that at a fiver a pop in advance at room for 600 is worth it then? Yet another ridiculous shout from yourself , I’d pay a grand myself for some kind of fundtion if it meant I’d at least triple my money before food and drink we’re added to the net profits , there can’t be many staff needed for such event

No money? Another one of your "sources" tell you that? they’ve got money but not for us, perhaps furnish me with your facts of where this so called money has been spent in the past 2 years🤔 Ask your sources.

And the marketing went well to put this out to the fans didn't it? Something your 2 mates had no idea about.
Ridiculous shout? How about you tell us who your sources are? Oh you can't possibly do that. How about I've got 4 sources that say your 2 sources are full of it and are using you to do nothing but stir up bad feelings within the club?

Its interesting to see that Rovers compare quite well with other clubs that have come up. The important thing in the bigger picture is to make sure league 2 is somewhere the club never goes to again. For the club to be a strong league one club that has the occasional visit to the championship for a spell is what Rovers need to get back too. Its what all our predecessors as fans saw and grew up with. That was Bristol Rovers. To demand more than that is being arrogant. Sure if the club does get lucky enough to be promoted to the championship it would be good to try to cement the club as a strong championship club and im sure with the right work that can be obtained. One step at a time though. The club needs to be competing as a strong league one club and aiming at average seasonal crowds of 10,000+ Just rebuilding the East side of the stadium to a 6000 seater stand with all the facilities would set the club in the right direction. If the fans really wanted it ,they could mostly fund that themselves given time. Nice if they would build a 6000 seater stand but we both know it won’t happen because there are no revenue streams by rebuilding the Mem . Except the previous plans for the site had a hotel , a convenience store ,a club shop ,a gym. Conference rooms , restaurants and accommodations blocks. Which is more than was mentioned for the UWE stadium that had a jogging track and some classrooms hardly big earners.
The extra stuff is supposed to provide extra income for the club into the future not provide the money to build it.
We do not "know" anything .
They might do nothing ,they might build a 10,000 stand they might suddenly announce they have negotiated a price on some land to build a new stadium. We do not know.

I don't think it even has to be that. Good deals to get kids going and hooked will do. Again they are streets ahead of us on that. If you buy a kids season ticket then they get a free kit. I think the ticket is around 80 quid. The amount of kids in full kit round BS3 is silly.
The teds are in a different league with this kind of thing.
My daughter is 9 and goes to school in North Bristol. Every month she comes home with a form from Bristol Sport for after school activities which take place at their school. At the end of this they get a free ticket for the child and one adult to watch City or Bristol Rugby, and get to do a lap on the pitch at half time.
Now, no daughter of mine will ever set foot in that stadium unless its to watch Rovers play them (ok so maybe a cup game!!) but I'm sure many kids will get their first sporting experience at Trashton and many will no doubt go back, some may turn into lifelong fans.
I cant remember experiencing Rovers doing anything like this through local schools so City Bristol Sport are picking the kids up unopposed.
That would be worrying. Let’s hope our new Commercial Director is able to put something into place to at least compete for the youngsters in north and east Bristol. If you can catch them as youngsters then you have a chance of making them gasheads. I’m surprised and a bit worried that this seemingly simple strategy hasn’t been put into place already. I would have thought with our attendances under our capacity by 1500-2000 it would have been a good thing to “give” some tickets away to attract other “fans” thinking about the future. Of course with the relatively poor communication perhaps they are doing it and we just don’t know. UTG!

The UWE also had a gym, convenience store and creche, you can only assume NH thought that was sufficient given his previous work on the Mem projects. Hotel wise I see today's BP suggests that one is now being built on the old Rolls Royce site, not sure how many more are required on the N Bristol/S Glos border in any event.

Maybe it would help the communication impasse if they could speak Bristolian!!!! Part One: Conjugation of the verb “to be” in Bristolian
Present Tense Ize I am Thee bist/Yoom You are Eeze/Sheeze/Iss He is/she is/it* is Weem We are *Thee bist/Yoom You are Theym They are

If a new Mem is constructed it will ideally have enough income sources to ensure long into the future the running costa of the stadium are always covered. So no matter how good or bad it gets for the playing side the stadium will always be there safe.
The playing side will determine the numbers of bums on seats and how much advertisers and sponsors will pay.
Having the stadium sponsored will also bring in funds.
The question then will be about paying back the money used in building the stadium/stands. If indeed that is required.

Yes they’re not exactly vocal are they ? That’s why we rely on titbits of inside information, we wouldn’t need to speculate and judge from what we hear from sources inside if the club announced its plans if it indeed had any . It would certainly stop Baggins getting his little knickers in knot and having a constant nibble at everything I post 😂
