Well we tried selling our stadium to rent in the 50's and finished up at Bath! Personally I could never understand why we needed a 22,000 stadium in the first place, I'd have always built a 15,000 seater and spent the rest on a decent team & /or our own training facilities. Then expanded when we got chance, an half full stadium never sounded exciting to me. As far as S Glos are concerned are they really going to turn down a 12,000 stadium when it is apparently the leaver to a £200m investment on thier patch?? If they are, then perhaps they could pay the difference so we can build the stadium to its original plans? Well Eastville was half empty a lot,Twerton was half empty at first,the Mem is half empty more than not. If we could get 15,000 fans in a 21,700 Uwe I think would be fine

Got to be 1 for me, as long as there is possibility for expansion in the future, Franchise fc being the prime example, they might not have put the seats in for years but they obviously didn't need to and when it was required they added them, main thing is it being fully owned by us imo. I wouldn't use franchise fc as an example of future expansion, didn't they build the whole thing at the start and then just bolted in the 2nd tier of seats later on? Planning for future expansion worries me, I'm not sure I could ever see it happening.

"If we could get 15,000" the problem with that is that's a figure 50% more than we've ever had at the Mem, ignore Pompey and it's also far more than any other Div 2 club average, plus probably most Div 1 sides, it's probably even more than the 82'ers average? To get that type of average gate we would have to be a Championship side but that means investing in the squad etc as much as it does in the stadium.

I think option ii is putting the cart before the horse. Better to start smaller, then expand when needed.
Also, full ownership is a big deal. Anyone who remembers the last few years at Eastville will appreciate this.
That being said, I guess it's unlikely to be as black and white as the question is in the OP.

For the purpose of discussion only and based on no inside knowledge ( ), which would be the better option for us fans i) A Bristol Rovers owed reduced capacity Stadium of say 12-15K or ii) A fully built 21,700 seat stadium which we only have a part share in the ownership ? I would go for option i) as i think this is the most viable at this moment in time You really are an idiot - 1 is with current BOD 2 is available without the current BOD ok Ted

I'd go with option I) with possible expansion in the future available
