It will have been sorted weeks back when we decided on who we were releasing and who who we were offering contracts too surely. How could it have been decided weeks ago when until we lost at Gillingham it wasn't certain which division we would be in next season, Wael, even SH, may have good idea but that doesn't mean they've told DC. As far as the land costing £1.1m where's that figure suddenly become public knowledge from? If it's the true figure I bet the previous land owner thinks he's won the lottery as I can't managed many other sports clubs queuing up to buy the land. They did it before when we got promoted from non-league, they had one budget in mind if they stayed down and another if we went up. Thank f**k it ended up being the latter!

1]I doubt the pitch work will be started when the forecast is heavy rain . 2]No point in starting work at the training ground until- a} planning consent for the updated training facilities gets the go ahead. and b] The UWE stadium gets the green light. 3] We will start to see the extent of the budget DC gets by how soon players start signing and who those players are. Why is there "no point in starting work at the training ground" until UWE "gets the green light"? Clearly by your reckoning there is no Plan B - so what would be the incentive for the AQ's to carry on with their association with BRFC if that's the case - is this what you're suggesting? i would hardly think a bit of rain would stop contractors starting on the pitch - time is money for them. Where is this plan B ? The Al Qadis have not said plan A is a failure so why would they end their association with BRFC ? If the UWE does not go ahead then a fancy academy may not be required so reverting back to the original basic training ground would be adequate.
erm...removing the current drainage from the rain at the mem whilst its sustained heavyish rain doesn't leave the water anywhere to go lake/swamp Memorial will be formed. After all if the natural drainage was good rovers wouldn't be needing all these drainage systems being put in. OR To add to the conspiracy...theres no point in doing the pitch as it is if the pitch will need moving to accommodate new stands at a revamped Mem......

I thought the suggested figure was around £500K, who is going to pay £1m for green belt farm land normally worth around £250K? What planet do you live on that you think you can get 28 acres with development potential and planning permission for less than £9,000 an acre? Pony paddocks in Almondsbury go for about £35,000 an acre, its a very posh area - ask GasTower

Green belt sports field then, what's the difference between farmland anyway unless you are a sports club, if the land was so valuable I doubt an Irish land owner would have held on to it for years, although I was trying to make out it was a positive the ALQ's had bought the land not turn it into an argument over what they paid for it, as I haven't a scooby!!

What planet do you live on that you think you can get 28 acres with development potential and planning permission for less than £9,000 an acre? What development potential pretty sure it was green belt land with uses limited to farming, equestrian or sport fields, that land has been undeveloped since the year dot, even the old Colony hospital being developed around a decade ago had no knock on effect. There's similar agricultural land for sale for £10K p.a w/o the sports field consent, having pp probably put a premium on the land but what other sports club would ever buy it? It could by DS just paid whatever the owner wanted but they seem tough negotiators to me the figure mentioned in the past of £565K? seems a reasonable sum. www.rightmove.co.uk/commercial-property-for-sale/Almondsbury/land.html You're doing it again aren't you. You don't know what you're talking about and it's making you very confused. You've just proved my point. You've found some agri land at £10k an acre. So your figure of £250k for 28 acres with planning permission is total nonsense. As for your other figures, you're just guessing and getting yourself mixed up.

Planning permission for a sports ground nobody else has wanted in a decade or so is hardly going to make it prized land. Perhaps the land owner held DS to ransom, perhaps they didn't. However what they paid is immaterial to the fact it seems a positive they have bought the land, which was my initial point.

Believe me budgets are set well before the end of the season and there is always a contingency if there is a chance that the club could in a higher or lower division. It's normally set when season ticket prices are announced which obviously is part of the finacial structure of the club. As for land values, don't give up your day job. The people that I have spoken to who work daily investing in commercial land consider that the clubs owners have secured themselves a very good deal.

I once offered £16k for two acres of land in Almondsbury based on agricultural land prices at the time. It could never be built on for residential use but did have commercial opportunities. It sold for £100k as not only the seller but the buyer also recognised its true value. I expect Waels agents started at the lower end of the valuation but Rinn and Lynch originally bought the site because of "potential" so would never have sold it for agricultural prices. You won't find many land owners who don't know the true value of land.

Who are Rinn and Lynch as the land was last owned by a Dublin based developer? Pretty sure this is Green Belt land put in place to stop north Bristol urban sprawl jumping the M4/M5 motorways, apart from sports ground etc the land has virtually no commercial development potential, basically we were probably the only sports club with a bit of money ever like to buy it, hence why Coalpit Heath Juniors had been using it for years.

Actually Topper, I was quoting an article on newsnow at the time. All I know is they paid over a million, which was apparently what it was worth.
By the way, it seems DC is pretty happy with his budget based on vibes at the Mem today. Oh, and the pitch renovations are now supposed to start tomorrow (Thursday)

Great planning so credit to the contractors for that one.

Could be linked to Churngold........the land down Hortham Lane has been used for Housing on the old Hospital site, a huge Jehovas Witnesses Church, a massive Plymouth Brethern meeting house (looks like a warehouse, on the left just before Hortham Farm & at Hortham Farm itself Industrial units & 2 huge Caravan storage areas. Don't believe it's just Geen Belt farmland, it quite simply isn't! Ideal place for a Motorway Service station too!
