I can confirm that it is indeed the start of putting some form of training ground together. I'm told they will look to develop the two pitches that were there already, as they are in a much better state than the rest of the ground. Indeed, a few days ago I was told that Ben Garner and a small entourage all made there way there to look around. It's long overdue, but it must be said that it is a welcome development. Furthermore, it should help with further recruitment if they can make it into a decent training setup. Given that all you ITK owner bashers label WAQ as a fame whore who’s desperately trying to score popularity points to feed his massive ego he apparently has, I would be pretty sure he would come up with a lot better way to announce the start of the project than having a presidents club member and a bitter shareholder announce the news on a forum... Just my take on it. Says. Lord Haw Haw of Jordan

Agreed but in the short term the portacabins would worry me cos the local yobs have broken in at least twice but how you vandalize derelict buildings I am not sure ( says a lot about their IQ) It was mentioned on here a few weeks ago that one of the barn conversions could have been for a groundsman which may deterred this sort of behaviour. Shame our planning consultants made such a pigs ear of the application

Just passed the Colony to see last years pitch being dumped via a 8 wheeler tipper lorry.Is this land fill or the start of pitch leveling for the new training ground?

The groundsman has been working on it recently which seems a bit pointless.But may be we entered into an agreement where they re seeded every year. Never the less these contractors produce excellent work.Any grass experts out there who can explain why it requires this total re work ?

Passing the Mem today and I see our pitch is being ripped up for re seeding so it doesnt look like we will be playing any home games in the near future with or without a crowd

I think it's obvious who the leakers are, it's Hamer and Ken Masters. Thought I'd say it before 1981 and LJG. After all, they are supposed to be leaking stuff to everyone all the time. Mind you, if it's someone above and beyond the players, who does that leave? We have not had any leaks from the boardroom since they left?? Funny that 😂 Any player could have leaked this. What boardroom ? One is ill and other is in Jordan

There has been no essential maintenance carried out there that warrants these charges in the last two years.Apart from clearing fly tipping on two separate occasions which was carried out by our ground staff I have seen very little change to the site which I pass daily Why a planning company was appointed to over see an application to develop 10 acres for housing to fund fund 20 acres of training complex I don't know especially as they were based in Cheltenham (with no local knowledge whatsoever) This plan would not of got off base one with South Gloucestershire planning department and was the reason the owners (ex Churngold directors) sold the land to DC There is no plan to develop the site for a training complex and,in any event ,the previous owners want to buy it back .In that case DC will be dissolved and presumably settle its liabilities in an orderly way Forgot to mention the failed planning application for 3 barn conversions which failed at the first hurdle because no ecology report was attached So DC can't even appoint competent planners

Also isn’t bennett under contract? i think he has another year. (Thanks DC!) There is no doubt DC wanted Bennett as he has pubically stated he was a long term admirer but who signed off the T and CSI of that contract?

Are you saying it didn’t happen? Because I have 3 independent witnesses that say it did. Perhaps Mr Harding would like to issue a public apology to the son of Mr Turner first, then Mr Turner and then I’ll give chapter and verse on it and name the witnesses that saw it. But I doubt he’s man enough for that. Didn't happen,they had a chat man to man with no other parties there.You are being economical with the truth again and unfortunately for you this is just another statement to add to the list Stop digging a hole

Bristol Live contacted Bristol Rovers Supporters Club for comment on this article and the points raised, and while acknowleding it, they declined to offer a direct response. Of course they won’t. They are happy to throw stones at distance like scared 10 year olds taking pot shots at an elderly persons greenhouse but aren’t willing to answer any meaningful questions relating to their contemptuous and impotent running of the SC. They won’t answer emails and they have declined to comment on a well reasoned argument from John. "Aren't willing to answer any meaningful questions". I think we are still awaiting a response to the request that you with draw the post that was a fabrication about John Harding confronting Turner and Higgs son in the toilets at the mem Apologise to John would be one way of you answering questions

For one poster in particular that line was passed several months ago Did you print it off? Yes used it so often the printer overheated and now won't work I hold you directly responsible

Where is the line drawn anyway? As long as there is no serious abuse or character assassination going on isn’t it fair and proper to be allowed to criticise someone’s ownership especially when the debt reaches the level it has? Nice guy he may very well be but as nice as he is I don’t know how anyone can possibly defend the level of debt we have accrued. It’s eye watering stuff. It's not about not being able to have a say, but some posters are rightly worried that some on both sides have been treading close to libellous For one poster in particular that line was passed several months ago

Wrong again 81 Typical diversionary tactic to go off subject which,may I remind you ,is financial mismanagement in the EFL You can’t punctuate a sentence, so I don’t stand much hope of you understanding about company accounts or financial mismanagement. This mismanagement that was so bad the EFL literally told you stop being stupid and dismissed it and that it wouldn’t be getting involved. No one told me anything 81. whether you believe it or not I am not involved with complaint to the EFL As for your comments about me understanding company accounts or financial mismanagement I will be celebrating 40 years running my own business next year so I must be doing something right Calling out GI for snide comments calling you a car mechanic is no different to the comments made about me Anyway stay safe me duck

Congratulations on starting a thread which you knew damned well would start an argument. Have a word with yourself. You might read it that way but its topical to all EFL clubs not just ours. ( but point taken nonetheless))

Apart from ocassionally saying hello to JC and KM I hardly know them Try again Well enough to know the contents of an email to Jim Chappell within 24 hours after I sent it which only the recipient and 1 other person knew about but did not see the contents of. More lies. Wrong again 81 Typical diversionary tactic to go off subject which,may I remind you ,is financial mismanagement in the EFL

I like this one. Not sure you will though. Actually the face to face took place in the car park, nowhere near toilets and Turners son was not there. It would have sounded better from your point of view if you had said there were half a dozen children there, that would have gained more sympathy. But as I say, it was just two adults expressing their point of view. But somehow, that doesn't have quite the same ring to it does it. Dear me, you really are good at fairy tales. We've all heard of Grimm, presumably you are Grimmer. Building up quite a portfolio of bull aren't you. Maybe they have had more than one 'confrontation' No just the one I think a retraction and apology is need here and quickly

Virtually every post recently has been pro Wael, anti the SC/PC, you even joined the other forum recently to post the same nonsense, I've no idea why JC/JH have taken the stance they have done but being long time Gasheads I sense they decided to do it in the interest of the club not their own agendas, from what little I know of JC I doubt his ego was the last thing he was thinking about, unlike the man who never speaks. As far as the personal abuse if you can't discuss matters w/o dropping to that level then it's certainly not me who needs to grow up. It’s recognising who’s in the best position to run the club and also showing due respect for putting the money up to keep it going. The SC/PC aren’t in the position to even offer an alternative with finances or personnel let alone put forward any form of credible plan to takeover. I’m not partisan to anyone in particular as long as they are the best people on offer doing their best with the resources they have. But when you have a group of people effectively trying to destroy the club, regardless of who the owners are, by spreading disruptive stories to the fanbase to destabilise and undermine the position of the owners and directors, running stories to the EFL, police, council and press, making or supporting accusations that have absolutely no foundation, then yes, I will support the party/group/individual who is being slandered, especially when they are the ones ensuring we have a club to support. Some of the stuff that has gone on doesn’t only trouble me that actual gasheads (I say gasheads as KM in particular says BRFC is his club) could do such things against the club, but it also lacks absolute decency as human beings. In fact it’s repugnant. Police?
