What do you think would have happened after the court case if Wael hadn't taken us over. If we lose which is the most likely outcome do you think we would have avoided administration under the previous owners?

Henbury.
On the other forum, on a thread about the UWE, you have posted a comment that you fear the UWE are about to miss out or make a big mistake.
In typical Henbury style you've left it hanging like that.
Did you post that comment because you've been told something by your mole, or is it a wind-up?
Please tell!

Nothing Concrete, just a passing comment from my mate Brian@south Glos said that talk over the tea pot was about other plots of land being available if the UWE deal fails Thinking about it, if South Glos have got land available for purchase cheaper than the UWE want (estimated £11m Last i read on here), then that has to be a better deal for Rovers... the down side being all the planning agro that can cause. Still i don't think our new owners are in any rush to get the thing built, they just want it to be cost effective. If the plot of land is not near human habitats then planning may be easier ??

OK, thanks, and that's very interesting. As you say, if we build at another site entirely on SG land then a new stadium will be maybe 3 years away, which is a shame, as the UWE is PP ready and the stadium could be ready in just over 60 weeks, provided we got our fingers out.
The other thing that concerns me is transport links. There is a railway station within a few hundred yards of the UWE site, as well as a modern road system. I would hate to see use lose those advantages for he sake of saving a few quid(sic) on the land costs.

Not doubt it won't hurt Weal's negotiations with UWE if they are fearful there's another cheaper plot of land now available, after all the "consortium" probably didn't NH's negotiating position?

I really can't see us looking for another site unless UWE has moved the goal posts. Can you imagine how long it would take to obtain planning permission at a different location! Time will tell.

My thought/hopes entirely. I just hope that, if our new owners want a slightly different deal for the stadium land plus other nearby plots, UWE swallow hard and go with it. I really don't want things dragging on for several more years, that would be to the clubs detriment. I have no doubt that the owners are well aware of that, and Steve Hamer did say that if we have to have partner(s?) in UW E then so be it.

Surley we are BRISTOL Rovers and we shouldn't be looking to move to South Glos, after all the sh** we gave sh**ty when they were going to move to Ashton Vale and an access road wouuld have been in North Somerset. We gave them stick and said that we would be the only team in Bristol and now every one wants to rush out to South Glos. I am a proud Bristolian when we leave to go to South Glos we would have surrrender the City of Bristol to the Teds. We should hang our heads in shame when this happens.

I think you're getting confused between actual cities that are urban settlements that grow up around a central point, and then spread to include smaller settlements, and local council names. Also there's plenty of Rovers chat on OTIB, so why bother coming over here?

Perhaps we could try and fit a decent ground into the wrong location and then regret it for years to come when our local rivals build one in the perfect location, just like the 82er's seem tto be doing?

Yeah, istm 82ltd lost their nerve a bit, and decided to build something quick, anything, anywhere, as long as it had more seats than the UWE.

No matter how much the super rich SL spends his hard earned inland revenue surplus cash at Ashton it will always be a shithole and a library!!

Developing the mem site ourselves for mixed use ,selling some homes renting out others and renting out trading units/workshops, cinema (?) Might self finance and provide a long term income for the club Also would leave the club with assets that could be sold if needed in the future (?)

That is a possiblity if the Al Qadi family want a long term return on their investment. This will depend on the court case outcome, in which case it may be Sainsbury's developing the site for mixed use, housing, trading units, etc. Who knows, you might even get the Jamie Carstairs Memorial Cinema (sponsored by Sainsbury's)

In conversation with an UWE employee in hospitality on Tuesday night. He was extremely confident that the land would be sold to Rovers and not at an overinflated price and understood that the use of the carpark and its revenues were an issue that was a bit of a sticking point but he felt agreement was not far away.
