A lot of talk about UWE. Perhaps they won't sell us the land. We might need a partnership. Perhaps UWE isn't the one anymore.
The new owners have made it clear that the Stadium doesn't hang on the outcome of the courts decision. However, I don't expect any news, or even gossip until after this decision.
Sainsbury's outcome is still significant to Bristol Rovers.

Well, I imagine it's worth about 15 million quid give or take. But istm the takeover would have included provisions for the ruling, either way. I don't think it makes much difference to the current board, though. It just affects how much the old board get paid. Of course, I'm just guessing.

Redeveloped Mem would be ideal but I don't think the site is big enough and we need to build a stadium which can compete with the Teds. I guess an underground massive car park /leisure complex would be idea with stadium above, think even though it's in the city, it would be easier to get to from the motorway and therefore a more attractive option for conferences etc. UWE probably wins in cost analysis - unless we have unlimited funds in which case we can have the cake and eat it.
The good thing is, SL had played his hand now and redeveloped AG - we are aware of the facilities of the main competitor and we can tailor out stadium to provide something better. If not bigger; with unique facilities and features which could make it more profitable and take business away from the stadium burning player assaulting spit at your own players scum!!

To be honest, so long as the UWE or whatever it may be called suits our needs for many years to come, and has facilities that WE can be proud of, I could care less if it's better/worse etc than AG. |

The figure I'd heard was that as residential building land it was only worth £10M, but that's just splitting hairs, after all what's £5M between fellow gasheads these days ;-) Anyway, back to my point: as you say there must be an adjustment. For me I'll admit it was why I didn't really believe the End Game thread, principally because of its timing (and nothing ever good happens to Rovers..). The value of the buyout must be hugely impacted by the result of the appeal, and I therefore assumed that an announcement if ever would have come after the decision. |

Yeah, the main thing about the timing, istm, is that *if* they want the UWE done by the beginning of the 2017 season, and *if* they need to renegotiate some stuff with UWE, then they really needed to start getting on with that, asap. |

I would think it a near impossibility to get PP for a site at the Mem that was for more than the original PP of, I think 18000 capacity? Access would be the issue. |

Didn't our contact in the planning office (Henbury Gas?) post something in the last few weeks that there were some changes that had been applied for? He wasn't able to specify what they were. |

The additional PP was for the hot air heat seating system, to keep us warm for those cold Monday night games against Chelsea, Man Utd etc etc..... Nurse, nurse, it's time for my meds ! |

Redevelopment of The Mem wouldn't be good at all. We'd have the same problem we face now. Transport links, parking, space etc. All of that made worse by bigger crowds if we move up the leagues. As much as I think it's boring an edge of town, modern development with other modern buildings and businesses around it is the way forward. |

I think we should build our own Supermarket. 10 floors high and selling everything available on the Gloucester Road for £1 each until all those feckers go bust. We could also sell cars. Only ones 5 litres and above in order to choke that turd who opposed us on pollution grounds. We could also have daily sacrifices of trees shaped in various Green party members faces.
In terms of Sainsburys we could hire an army of Japanese karaoke fanatics to sing Irene in the foyer of every store
Practical? Or do you think the takeover has gone to my head?

I like it, everything makes sense now. I still hope we win against Sainsbury's, just to kick them in the teeth, which will open around 20 more cases for them.  |
