I donāt agree with personal attacks/abuse, but surely you can see why people are fed up!! Weāve been through so many false dawns and to be so close to having a lovely stadium only to have it scrapped, purchased a piece of land for a training ground which has not been touched and then news of another piece of land that didnāt come off!! I understand confidentiality but surely we could have more info than weāve been fed!!

Just for the sake of argument: Decision in December on GC can only be declared successful is we stay up. Otherwise it didn't pay off. Your statement is a guess, but you're talking like it is fact. I personally don't really see the leadership off the pitch, but am open to hearing your argument.Ā You can be a Bristol Rovers supporter without believing Wael/Starnes are messiahs. RE; the ground, there is no evidence to suggest we will get a ground under the current ownership. Just for the fun of it, is it not equally as destructive/damaging to a club to have blind optimism?Ā I have every confidence Cogs will keep us up and we will be safe by mid April, under the current manager I think we would have gone down. Commercial look at where we are now under Tom Gorrringe and you can see what he learned at Brighton. The 1883 club end of season awards last season was brilliant and I look forward to the evening on the 10th April again. You only have to look at Plymouth and see what Martyn helped do their, a Div1 club with no real money but a half decent stadium and with his experience we are moving forward. Off the pitch they are trying so hard on the new stadium front, I am not saying anymore than this, Iām not a Banned word making stuff up and I donāt know what the plans are. But I have introduced people to the board, someone of major significance who someone like Gashead81 on this forum can back me up on because I introduced the person to him at the Wimbledon home game. Thanks for that Paul, I trust you and your Father are fit and well.

He's got to have something to say about next seasons training facility as we've only got cribbs for what, about another 3/4 months? It would be foolish not to have something sorted soonish....

This 'person'. Is he one of the team that have built, "not one, not two nor three, but twelve world class stadiums"?

No mark I am sick of the negativity around the club, they made a brave decision in December and itās paid off and will pay off. When we signed Jonson we have posts on this forum saying āf**k off Al Wadiā and āf**k off Waelā This club is forming a new identity under a new leadership on and off the pitch. Martyn is doing his bit and so is Cogs. Letās all be now Bristol Rovers supporters and stop being Darryl Clarke FC Supporters. We will get a new ground because Wael Al Qadi will find the investment and people to help him do it. Welcome to the forum Wael. No itās not Wael Dave, still remember the days though on social media when you wanted to be his best mate when he first arrived ššš»

Give them the benefit of the doubt, Wael Al Qadi will not leave this club in the sh**. And the rest of the of the family, including Hani, who appears to 'call the shots' and control the purse strings?

Oh well, thankfully the family own a bank are not car salesman with a fleet of cars on a forecourt. Achieving f**k all you say, we will stay up and retain our Div1 status, name another board bar Dennis Dunfordās that did this? I see Wolves lost Ā£1 million a week to make the promised land, we could try and be break even like Yeovil? Would Martyn Starnes leave a well paid job to join administration? Give them the benefit of the doubt and PM Wael for another selfie, you used to love those.

Same old nothingness. Funny Wael wants to do interviews when we are in form on the pitch.

- Interesting you went for Yeovil and not the likes of Burton, Walsall etc
- I look forward to details of Starnes earnings before and after joining Rovers to back up this argument

Didn't Starnes ring up Wael looking for work? So, he must have known he was leaving Plymouth at that point? So, in reality, he didn't leave a well-paid job to join Rovers?

Until we are playing in New stadium and the players have a training ground where they don't have to pick up Rubbish each day then this board haven't done much more than Higgs and Co. We are still floundering with no direction.

Just want to point out that almost every board this football club has ever had has managed to avoid relegation to league 2 at least once.
No idea what you are on about with that one to be honest.
And as much as you may well have every faith in Wael, I am afraid that if we get another round of 'working hard behind the scenes' etc then there will be even more questions asked after tonight's interview.
