Will they even receive any payments before the stadium is finished, can we even afford to pay them anyway until it's generating an income. Take it from me The UWE are in need of some serious money due to the short fall in NHS money this year THE UWE is hardly one of the big UK medical schools, I can't imagine they have more than 30 or even 60 students start nursing courses each year, if they lost 30 new students this year that's less than £300K of course fees so hardly enough to warrant selling 30 acres of land at a knock down price? Although the UWE were clearly happy in the past to release the land so unless student numbers are expected to now substantially increase, unlikely post Brexit?, hopefully it's still surplus to their requirements and a deal can be agreed.

Yes, I fell about laughing when I saw that comment.
Does not inspire much confidence when the Chairman is unaware of such a fundamental figure.
So you find it funny that our chairman made a mistake. Tells me a lot about you What mistake? He clearly says he only realised recently. When he was looking around the ground on matchday did he think the rest of the ground was filled with high chairs?

Where have I said he made a mistake. He said he was unaware of how few seats we have, not that he thought there were xxx when there are only xx.
I'll have a word with him the next time I see him.
He does read these comments or is made aware of them, as he has emailed me in the past about questions I have posted.

and our previous Chairman also reads these pages as well I wonder why they do that ?

Why do threads have to constantly degenerate into personal abuse? Or indeed childish 'humour'?
Agree to disagree or better still shut the F##k up.
And now back to the footie.................

Hamer sounded up beat; but he said BRFC are still talking to UWE until either side decided to walk away, which is spin talk to say both sides are not close to a deal, so we better get on tidy up the pitch because we are not leaving the MEM any time soon. Unfortunately the MEM is at best a league 2 ground, which is why IMO if both parties cannot ****, get off the pot, and move on. To me if WAQ does have any serious money, which is questionable, because we have not seen any, yet, why not refurb the MEM, we dont need any more than 16/17k seats. Just get on with it, we left Eastvile in 1986.

I hope South Gloucestershire Council are still committed to wanting a stadium on their patch because IF UWE falls through we are going to need all the support we can get get from them.

I think it's also worth exploring what can be done at the mem. and if as you say that mean a 16/17k capacity then that would support Championship football and Bournemouth are surviving in the premiership in a smaller ground.

There seems a bl00dy great big one bangin the middle of Filton!!! If not Emerson's Green as plenty of "green" sites. I guess fears of a chemical leak will still stop Avonmouth being considered
