It just doesn't add up and if that's true then it comes across as haphazard thinking and lack of planning. How can they go from supposedly planning to submit a planning application with a few weeks, to then thinking of ditching the site altogether in favour of finding a site for both stadium and training ground together? Plus Hamer was quoted as saying the training ground was effectively shelved for now as the cost of developing it was considerably higher than anticipated. They can't all be accurate reasons surely? If the reason for not developing is genuinely because the cost is too high, then they should front up and admit that they didn't perform due diligence. They bought the land to do the training ground there, when we were still in talks with Uwe. There was not enough room for a training ground by the Uwe stadium. Once that fell through, now they have to look into there options, it's better to look into them properly? Yeah, according to their last communication, the plan that failed was for a joint stadium and training ground complex. The communication that everyone complained about, taking a brief time off from complaining about never getting any communication.

I can accept they're looking into their options, however that does not correlate with what Hamer said on Geoff Twentyman's show. I just want them to be more open and indeed more professional in their approach. I don't think it's all bad and they've produced some improvements that are a welcome step forward, but on the other hand I cannot accept that they keep getting persistently screwed over by various contractors. We've had the pitch, the family seated stand, the big screen. Prior Planning Prevents water Poor Performance. If they'd planned thoroughly which sadly for them does indeed involve putting in sufficient money into Project Management staff, they wouldn't have to go into hiding because of their various embarrassing project mishaps. The last statement isn't fact by any means but it's how I see it.

I'm not disappointed about any communication forthcoming, but I want it to be consistent and show that they know what they're doing. Things just happen behind the scenes and it's not until they're backed into a corner that answers come out. If we just let them carry on without any questions at all, we'd not have heard anything. Like the stadium consultants we brought in and then left without any word to the fans from the club. The architects looking at stadiums are they still doing anything? The project managers for the Colony presumably are no longer involved if that development was shelved. I appreciate it just comes across as moaning about anything and everything but I genuinely am not like that. I give credit where it's due and the community work, seating for the South stand, rectifying of the pitch situation, ticketing improvements and club shop improvements are all positives. I just cannot stand by silently while they, in my opinion, water about and cut corners, and leave the club's fans in the dark.

Ask him questions about Plymouth, he watches them more than us anyway.

On Twitter, for all the good it'll do: Surely the club has a better photo of our CEO? That's not my question to him just a rhetorical question on my observation!

They're definitely better about giving us news they think might please us. So coachy bloke goes to Spain to look at some players, but they have to make out like he's an international scout, so inevitably we get people complaining that he isn't being an international scout. They employ some consultants about some aspect of stadium design, announce it proudly, and then wonder why everyone wants to know where our stadium is, etc.

I thought the reason it was delayed was the training ground cost came in significantly over what they had budgeted for and it was unaffordable. I’m sure Hamer said this in one of his interviews.

My question: Has your golf handicap improved since you have been at Rovers? That's a good question. Interestingly mine has gone up over the last two years. I'm not sure if it's Rovers related but I think it may be to do with gripping the club too tightly - it's almost as if I'm angry about something 😮 !!!!

He did say that. So we've got inconsistent information coming from the club, which breeds scepticism. daniel300380 as someone who admirably defends the board a lot of the time, what are your thoughts on this?

That's how it seems to me, which is poor form and just shows a lack of respect and also lack of professionalism.

They arnt concerned with the concerns that alot of our fanbase have with regards to how the club is going continue in its present state! Racking up a huge debt. Attendences on the decline. A stadium barely fit for the 1980s and a lack of leadership. To me there way above their heads in regards to running a efl club and the issue of the finance and the will to take the club forward into a new stadium and training grd is shrouded in mystery! As toyah wilcoxs sang. 'its a mystery its a mystery, searching for a clue!'

Be honest Martyn, the “alternative plan” for a land purchase was a complete fabrication. Will you confirm that?

While snorting coke would you rather have a partner who fakes their orgasm but gives perfect oral or a partner who truly orgasms but is terrible at oral?
