In the over all scheme of things eg: us sliding down the table, DC looking like he's ready to jump, no takeover on the horizon for definite, does anyone give a sh** if the training ground is shelved for a couple of years, whilst we get everything else sorted ? I find your comments small-minded and depressing. We've bought this land ffs !! On the contrary, I think people urging the club to spend what it doesn't appear to have is small minded, and wanting the club to potentially go under just to have a shiny training facility like the other lot depressing. If we had the money, bearing in mind DC's comments, the surely work would have started ? If we don't have the money to stay in the division AND develop the facility then the clear priority is the first team squad in the short term. The land won't go away unless its flogged for someones pension fund. If the club has the money to do both but isn't choosing to spend in either case that is a worry.

Fair comment and I agree with your views. What I can't quite get my head around though, is that Hamer when questioned by 20man once said something along the lines of "we had plans for a state of the art training complex, until we realised the cost involved". I'm paraphrasing but it was words to that effect which left an imprint on me. I could not and cannot understand how a group of investors or anyone come to think of it, let alone intelligent people from the banking industry, could purchase a football club and land for a training ground, without having researched into how much it would cost to build it. It's too ridiculous for me to accept that that is the real reason for the delay. Or is it?!

Hopefully there's a better reason than that mate, but I do have concerns that the due dilligence was naff and Higgs played a blinder.

You sense Wael and Hamer knew the cost as they visited the likes of Fleetwood and MK Dons, the problem arose when they told Hani!

The claims of liaising with 'Twelve leading World Class experts on building stadiums' and I can't discuss the plans due to a Confidentiality Clause' seem more disingenuous than ever now.

I suspect we'll never know, but if the cost of running a football club came as a surprise to the Al-Qadi family, then I would be frankly appalled that they were stupid enough to do it in the first place. That isn't an accusation at all as who knows what the truth is, but it's how it seems to me.

These stories about the owners selling up and bailing out are starting to converge and become the Gaschat truth, based on the flimsy evidence that since everybody says it, it must be true.
I'm very sceptical about what our owners have in mind for us, but you never know. Some of this abuse based on nothing is getting over the top.
I have to be honest and say I've been guilty of it myself, but I think this long, long, period of non-communication suggests something is happening and they can't tell us about it until it does actually happen.
How long we wait is another issue.
I just feel that there is something in the air.
Fart jokers please feel free.

I was unaware of any changes relating to the Green Belt, though with this Government running things anything is likely to happen. Thousands of houses being built around Thornbury and Charfield, all on green fields and the threat of 1800 in Coalpit Heath actually on Green Belt land. As long as this shower at Westminster is working hand in glove with South Gloucestershire Council, things will only get worse. What you won't see is development taking place on the leafy lanes and fields of Kent 'cause the government will lose too many parliamentary seats.

"Weâll move in March [2017]â to new training ground says @official_BRFC chairman. bristolroverssc.co.uk/2016/09/08/having-a-gas-6/Seriously though, the last I heard was the Al-Qadi interview back in August. The training ground â whatâs happening? Darrell told me the other week that itâs very weedy, Iâve seen pictures of it and itâs nowhere near ready. Again, Iâm very frustrated about this, about the training ground. It will happen and if it doesnât happen in time for next season, or next April, when our current venueâs rent ends, we will provide a temporary solution for the team to have a very good training facility. As a temporary solution until our training ground is up and running. You appointed Evan Jones Chartered Surveyors to deliver this, what are they doing? As project managers. Itâs a process and itâs complicated from different angles. I can assure you it will happen and, like I said, because the training pitches have to be started very soon otherwise youâll miss the window over the winter, unless we start very soon weâre going to miss that and if that happens, we will provide a temporary solution for a training ground. Where will that be? Again, I canât go into that because of talks. Itâs close by but again, its not a done deal. Thatâs what weâre looking at. To quote Darrell, he said some people need to get their fingers out over the training ground. Itâs frustrating him. Itâs frustrating me too. Like I said, we have to move on this very quickly. www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/full-wael-al-qadi-transcript-1889017They said last week that they have an extension for another year where they are.
