UWE BRISTOL SPORT funny that. More evidence that UWE are in Lansdowns pocket. Is UWE Bristol anything to do with Bristol Sport? I think you've just put some words together. The page clearly says UWE Bristol Sport.

The number of people who don’t like or trust the Al Qadis grows with every passing day that they don’t communicate, with every passing day that they fail to deliver on their previous promises. Goodwill towards them is diminishing not increasing and they only have themselves to blame. DC is clearly frustrated with them too. At one time they were almost universally loved but failure to deliver on the stadium and training ground and the top budget they were so vocal about and failure to communicate erodes trust, not for everyone obviously as we can see on here but for an increasing number. I believe that their situation / intention / attitude has changed and with it so has the attitude of those that work with them especially DC. If he goes or we have a bad season the atmosphere towards them will turn very poisonous and virtually all goodwill will evaporate. I’m sure that there will still be some flag wavers on here for them though! I’m still glad they bought the club when they did because we would have gone under I’m sure but I’m dissapointed that there’s no word on the training ground , our new stands haven’t been built yet, nothing being said about a completely new build and our manager doesn’t know his playing budget with less than a week until the season starts. To put it this way I was about 10% happy with the last board I was 99% happy when the new owners came in but I’m now only 50/50 and my faith and trust in them to run our club properly and treat us supporters and our manager fairly is falling by the day. I agree completely with this. In fact had the ALQS said when taking over that the club was in serious trouble and all that they were going to do was firstly stop it going bust, secondly stabilise and thirdly build slowly and that we can forget a new stadium in the short term because there isn’t the money to do it yet, they wouldn’t be suffering from growing mistrust now. Honesty and Integrity are the currency of goodwill a lot more than how rich someone is.

As promised the reply I have received this morning to my email after the forum last night. Good morning David Thank you for your email, the contents of which I note.I fully understand your concerns, unfortunately for various reasons there have been so many false dawn's announced from within the club over the past year there is a genuine reluctance to make public announcements without the 100% belief that what ever is announced will happen. The training ground is a prime example, a budget was given for the project and that has now managed to exceed itself by three times, this of course delays the project, reviews then have to be undertaken and considered. These frustrations are not only shared by you and our loyal fan base but by the Manager and myself, along with other members of our back room staff. On the playing front we hopefully are close to landing replacements for Ellis Harrison today,but again there are so many obstacles placed in the way of any signing, it becomes a card game of poker and patience. All I can genuinely say, the owners are not burying their heads and are aware of what is required to maintain growth momentum within the club. Best Wishes. Steve Hamer Chairman Bristol Rovers Football Club.
There you have it. Please don't shoot the messenger, that's me!

This UWE site seems to have everything Rovers need. Floodlights, artificial pitch, grass pitches, 5-a-side pitches, clubhouse, changing rooms, dug outs etc etc.
I'm just wondering, but what if Rovers had used the money to buy the Colony to go 50-50 with the UWE on this. Running costs would then have been 50-50, and it's ready to use in Oct.
Just wondering.

Yeah, I know.........Was this another 'lost opportunity' though ? A training ground doesn't make a profit. It is a cost item. We could have reduced the running costs for a training ground by 50% ?

What does that mean, the overall budget is x3 more than expected or our agents charged the club x3 more than their budget just to draw up some plans etc? If it's the former why can't the agents just work to the budget set, if the latter are the club being ripped off?

The consultants then working to our owners specifications worked out a build cost etc. That turned out to be three times more than the budget set.

Hence the rumour that they are trying to sell some of the land for housing to fund it. How complicated can it be otherwise?

Yes, SH admitted to me at Eindhoven that the club had jumped into several projects too quickly during the last few months. I'm sure all will work out well in the long run, whenever the "long run" is. To be honest, I actually feel sorry for SH as I believe he is doing his best for the club BUT others are not on the same hymn sheet.

Sounds like we didn’t do due diligence if it’s going to cost 3 times as much as predicted . Not exactly reassuring is it ?

The way I read it he didnt say that the training ground was 3 times as expensive as planned, but that the cost has increased 3 times........big difference!

“a budget was given for the project and that has now managed to exceed itself by three times,”
I’ve read it several times and each time it reads to me that the budget has exceeded itself by three times the original budget.
