The UWE was more than just talk, not sure what the club are supposed to do if Sainsbury's wouldn't play ball, then the UWE wouldn't agree a reasonable deal with the Al-Qadi's. Strange that we appear to be considering leasing a stadium at St Phillips but turned down the chance of owning our own ground on leased land at UWE. The Al Qadi family wouldn’t cough up the £30m needed to build the UWE, so made lame excuses about contractual issues which some fans seem to go along with. Now, a comparable stadium would cost twice that even if a suitable site and planning permission could be obtained. It isn’t going to happen under the club’s current ownership. |

Was carsons Rd turned down? Don't remember plans being submitted Hmmm the project bigger each time. So this one will be a 40,000 multipurpose stadium then. 😉 Rejected by Kingswood Borough Council in 1990, just before the Twerton fire, on the grounds it was Green belt. |

If it's not built under Wael then I doubt one will ever be built, as it's unlikely we'll get a wealthy owner anytime soon. |

You can't take our 100% planning application success record away from us. |
