Why not? Religions have been doing that forever. Praise the lord , hallelujah to that ! This is exactly it. Some people believe that Ed Ware et al or some other investors are the second coming, or in our case the first coming. With no evidence whatsoever. So their stance is a belief based on blind faith. The other camp can prove beyond all reasonable doubt there is no plans for a new stadium in place and no offer on the table for the football club. This remains the case until the owners tell us differently. After all, now the ITK’ers have been flushed out it’s all we have

I’d would agree, up to a point and did indeed think it had finally withered and died a few times. Unfortunately if the myth isn’t challenged it means that our own actual stadium falls into decay as there’s no perceived need to sort it out. Even more unfortunately there are groups and individuals out there who benefit from perpetuating the myth at the detriment of the Football Club. Surely the best way to challenge it is directly with the club etc? Can’t see how 316 pages (and counting) of ranting at each other on this forum actually gets the message across to those making any (alleged) decisions? I’m not so sure as the contents of the forum seem to make up the bulk of Ali Durden, Geoff Twentyman and the Evil Posts output.

My point being, in that case it’s your opinion - therefore no different, no more or less credible than those in the last 316 pages. Or the next 316 to come.....😢 Honestly think the kindest thing we can do with this thread is just let it fade away into the distance. One opinion says this..... One opinion say something else.... Geez..... just accept there are believers and non believers and move on. Each point is valid in its own way. Repeating each one over hundreds of pages and getting nowhere is the definition of madness....😱 I’d would agree, up to a point and did indeed think it had finally withered and died a few times. Unfortunately if the myth isn’t challenged it means that our own actual stadium falls into decay as there’s no perceived need to sort it out.

So now we know it was all a load of BS (7) Says who??? Don’t start this again. Have a quick tour around Stoke Gifford, Mangotsfield, Severnside and now Abbeywood to see big gaps where a football stadium would go. It’s the mindless fantasies of people whose bank balances don’t match their ego’s.br] Even the rosy cheeked one realised it’s a waste of time and sorted his own home out.

3. Finally as another pipe dream disappears over the horizon our home crumbles around us, it’s a disgrace. We’re currently the house on the street with a fridge in the front garden and a Cortina up on blocks. We’ve got to take some pride in our surroundings. Failure to learn from this experience will only compound the embarrassment felt in front of the neighbours. Yeah, yeah. The w**ker of a neighbour's got a big house, a fast car and a tidy wife. But ultimately he's still a w**ker. FFS those w££ker neighbours moved out of the neighbourhood years ago when they won the lottery.

So now we know it was all a load of BS (7) can we learn from it.
Three lessons need to be learnt.
1. If anyone ever mentions Higgs and Ed Ware again they need a Dr’s note to show they’re fit to be allowed out by themselves.
2. When Ali Durden, Geoff Twentyman and the man from the Evil Post arrive for work in the morning they’re faced with a big fat blank page. They’re not that bothered with what they fill it with as they are not accountable to anyone.

Totally agree with your post Xenongas I think he will be given the rest of the season and summer almost come what may. The ALQ’s seem to have made a significant change in recruitment that takes into account our financial plight. There was no way we could continue signing the likes of Payne, Bennett and Nichols on decent wages with no guarantee of success. This next season or two could be painful and we will no doubt lose some supporters along the way but we may come out of it as the sustainable club we were told was the aim. It’s obvious that there’s no new investor with their fantasy stadium on the horizon and I believe the ALQ’s see this as the clubs only hope for the future. there is no such thing as a sustainable club. Even Liverpool are heavily in debt You better let Wael know

To be fair the marketing/social media side of the club is one of it's better features, the "incoming" videos generating a bit of excitement/interest last week, it's one of the few successes in my view.
Which makes it even more surprising they cant take a decent picture to put on the big screen. Its only a minor thing but i'm with the OP on this one.
You couldn’t send a tweet to the club on the OP’s behalf could you?

Ok we can't moan about wael or Garner seemingly ;-) have faith and all that jazz... My small gripe is the pictures of the newbies when the squads announced on the big screen. Is it really that hard to take a professional picture wearing the club shirt rather than use the picture from when they signed wearing their casuals and holding a shirt in front of our tinpot stands. It just adds to our tinpotness! If anyones on Twitter send TG a message for me! Ta - UTG Here’s an idea, sign up to Twitter and guess what

Strange isn’t it that the club should be investing in the playing staff when Unicorn Investors are about to buy the club and build it a new stadium. I’m sure the ITKers will be here later to explain why😂 So what do you expect Wael to do, spend no money on new players and then risk relegation and attendances dropping through the floor in the second half of the season? I'm not sure that would be a clever move if the ALQ's ever do intend selling the club. Although he's hardly splashing out £100K's on new players as he''s done in the past, thanks to GC we've had decent income form our cup runs and also compo from Mansfield to spend in January. As far as unicorn investors although the BP etc have said is there's potential new owners, sadly, there's been no talk of actual investment in the club. Oh I see, I thought some on here were suggesting new owners were buying the club and building us a new stadium at the Fruit Market, that seemed to be the rumour going around.

It's obvious Nichols was leaving when BG told to find a new club, if that's your evening effort then I hope you enjoyed trolling though my posts to come up with that gem! Sorry, Tops, mate I don't really get what you're trying to say? That you didn't believe the gossip about GC or you never repeated it? That's clearly untrue: What's the betting LJG doesn't reply to that well worded post? GC's outbursts at the Blue Diamond lunch and post Ipswich match, just fall in deaf ears to the gullible. Whether or not you named players who would leave doesn't really matter does it? As your fellow supporter of Bristol Rovers Football Club I would like to encourage you to stop falling for the bullrubbish that gets proved wrong again and again. Good Luck LJG Despite all the old guard having been cleared out some still think they have the inside track. The ALQ’s are getting the club where they want it, in terms of a privately run company. I think, that in a way, this antagonises old directors who then like to agitate with talk of takeovers and fantasy stadiums.

Name and shame these ITK's they are against the Gas. Strange isn’t it that the club should be investing in the playing staff when Unicorn Investors are about to buy the club and build it a new stadium. I’m sure the ITKers will be here later to explain why😂

I wonder if we will keep the development squad now the first team is basically going to be a better version in theory I’m boycotting tomorrow as it’s wrong that our Under 23 side is allowed to play in league 1

This looks like Ben has a plan and Wael has bought into it. Could be the approach where we can realistically start to earn some revenue, either through some success on the field or sale on fee’s. Could mark a significant change in direction for the club. Really hope it pays off.

No we want a 6’10” Centre Forward and every time we get the ball we kick it really hard in his direction. Footballs a simple game

Keeping it simple or just getting it totally wrong? Until the BP suggests administrators are being called in I won't be worrying too much. life's too short for that, Good luck, I hope it all works out well for you

If you’d been doing that, then there’d be no need to take a mortgage out to pay your bills. I didn’t say a mortgage to buy a property. This is what lead to the property crash, in part, in the eighties and then nineties. The ALQ didn’t mortgage the ground to buy it, they mortgaged it to keep us afloat. They have no club war chest, they’ve always said it must be sustainable. The borrowing against the ground is to keep things going until revenue increases. If it doesn’t we WILL go bust. I think you are confusing the ALQ's having a charge on the Mem with a mortgage when they are two different things, we've no idea who they are funding the club. It could be just their income or savings. I know they're two different things i was just trying to keep it simple, for the purposes of illustration. Of course you maybe right the ALQ's could be funding it out of their own pocket despite them always saying the club had to be self sustaining. Good luck with your belief in the magic money tree they have back in Jordan

In simple terms it’s like someone taking out an interest only mortgage on their own home to pay the monthly bills, without increasing their income. Eventually the money runs out and there’s no asset to borrow anymore money against. The consequences are if you’ve still not increased your income you still can’t pay your bills and now you have a mortgage to pay. Then your house gets repossessed. That’s why the clocks ticking Not if I've been saving money every month and have more than sufficient money to pay down my mortgage should the need every arise. We just don't know what the ALQ's intentions are. If you’d been doing that, then there’d be no need to take a mortgage out to pay your bills. I didn’t say a mortgage to buy a property. This is what lead to the property crash, in part, in the eighties and then nineties. The ALQ didn’t mortgage the ground to buy it, they mortgaged it to keep us afloat.
