This may have been mentioned before somewhere within the deep, dark realms of Gas Chat and I'm sorry to create yet another stadium/training ground thread to add to the forum's tally, however the Al Qadi's intentions regarding the stadium and the training ground have been playing on my mind. Now I'm not planning to start another mile long stadium thread, I'm not claiming that I know or claiming that anybody else knows what is going on behind the scenes, although it would be interesting to know what our thoughts/predictions are regarding the future home of our beloved football club. Now there is some talk about finances, claiming that the ALQ's have.. well... none, but I don't believe that a family of Jordanian bankers would buy a football club with the intentions of building a state of the art new stadium (UWE) had they been unable to fund it. Equally, I find it just as hard to believe that the ALQ family would have bought a League 1/2 football club, wasting ridiculous money just to be Wael's "plaything". So what are the actual intentions of our owners? My prediction is that something very exciting is coming. The Colony was bought by our owners and has been turned into a glorified forest in the time since. Why no development? Why no hope for the Colony? Well I believe that the Colony was bought at a time when the UWE was down the toilet and it was looking like a re-developed Mem for BRFC, however the silence over the Colony and the stadium alike has led me to believe that Wael and co. could possibly have an exciting new plan in the wings, perhaps plans to incorporate a stadium and training ground in one sight? Now I'm not from Bristol, I don't live in Bristol, I don't know Bristol, so it's unlikely that I could guess where such a site would be or how realistic my prediction is, but the silence just seems too weird to me. I just cant see a 21st century, modern businessman like Wael and his family lying through their teeth to thousands of people, or not having any plans for our loss making football club (that is unless the rumours are true and they do indeed plan to sell the club). Frankly, I cant make head or tail of any of it but I'm dead excited to find out! I'd love to hear everyone's speculations and thoughts in this uncertain time.. just keep it friendly. UTG! Hello hantsgas, I live in Basingstoke (Hants), name a pub and we can meet up for a chat about all things Rovers related UTG!

Reilly missed 2 far easier chances and Sercombe missed an easier one too.
Should Nichols have scored? Probably, but it certainly wasn't like the 3 sitters missed my Reilly and Sercombe.
Nichols missed one decent chance but set up both goals. Reilly missed 2 sitters but scored and Sercombe missed a sitter but scored.
They all played well and contributed to a good win.
Nichols was the best player on the pitch. If he had goals to go with his all round game he'd be playing in the Championship.
š Reilly and Sercombe aren't sat on 2 goals (1 pen) in 54 games though! And that's hilarious becauseā¦ā¦ā¦?

Just an observation but if you insert an 'a' into the space in your thread title it says 'tomato score'.... Remarkable random

14 Goals Scored, 14 Conceded. 7 Goals scored at Home, 7 Conceded. 7 Goals scored Away, 7 Conceded. Soooā¦ā¦ we just need to convert conceded to scored and we'll win more?

Bomb him out in January. Not for the gesture, but because he's sh**e. That's the spirit.

As another thread descends into chaos we observe the gas chat user in its natural habitat. The difference of opinion argument has become the staple diet of these hungry beasts and none of them are shy in coming forth for an argument. The wannabe dominant males strut from thread to thread in an effort to keep harmony among the flock, it is but a thankless task as they all realise without differences in opinion there is no forum. The females, although few, are capable of making themselves heard and can temporarily improve behaviour on a thread albeit until they retreat back to the offline shadows and the males bickering continues. Occasionally the gas chat user migrates south to what some perceive as sunnier climbs, these trips are usually brief when it is realised there presence is not welcome. The mating ritual of the gas chat user has yet to be caught on camera although we did come close on a trip to Mallorca last year. The specimen in question was unable to perform due to excess intake of a golden liquid known as San Miguel, it was a let down for all our crew and the paid Escort. As for the future of the gas chat user we predict a rocky road ahead although we have noticed moods are raised following a positive result in a football match. We will continue to observe this most strange of species in the hope that one day they will all find their gas utopia. Bloody unlikely mind! Made I laugh. Gotta have a sense of humour to be a Gashead. And a LOT of patience!

Back to my earlier post today then in that case why incur more expense/eventual debts employing a HoR and CEO and also spend money on the pitch, electronic turnstiles, the clubhouse and more temp stands this summer, also why continue with The Colony planning via agents (assuming we are!) why not just that say the new stadium plans now need to take priority and those plans will be put on hold for now. That's the positive I'm holding on to. All the money they are spending makes no sense if they are planning on selling up.Maybe they're hoping to dazzle potential investors with a 'polished turd'

No. Dan Snyder isn't from Boston which is where Wael supposedly went hands open for investment š Iām not sure where Dan Snyder comes but Iām guessing perhaps Washington but I really donāt give 2 f@cks either way and yes Wael went to Boston a few weeks ago for investment . Next Jeez! You ought to see a doctor about getting that hair removed out of your ass!

Why not? We couldāve discussed the team selection and Dcs tactics and formation or met up after and discussed Gaffneyās contribution and the passage of play something only earlier today you seemed only too keen to discuss with me but now for whatever reason you seem to have cold feet. Mine was a genuine invite to letās say extend your olive branch as Iām man enough to have a face to face conversation without resorting to insults and you never know we couldāve found some common ground and enjoyed each otherās company. Maybe we could rearrange for another matchday i attend most home matches and when possible away games aswell so thereās plenty of opportunity to put our differences aside. if you change your mind then pm me as my friendly offer will always remain on the table . Weāre all Gas aināt we . UTG You're coming across a bit 'needy' mate.

Just think if the board did act after our bad start? I very much doubt we'd be where we are now. We'd be managed by Jim Gannon. I've just read the Stockport County Wikipedia. It does not make for happy reading. *shudder*

Haha I will. In fairness though. Its not far fetched that the colony is finished in under four years.After all the club own the land have some planning consent and have project managers running the show now. The stadium...well assuming its on the mem site. The club already own the ground ,finance we are told is not a problem ,previous planning consents have been given for a new stadium at the mem. So a new stadium on the site in four years time is not beyond belief by any means. D.C. signing a contract extention ,well with the above two completed and championship football why wouldn't he ! Championship football in three seasons time....just needs a slight improvement here and there in the squad and its very likely to happen.
It gonna happen.
One problem with your vision is that I can't see DC hanging around at Div 1 Rovers for 4 years with, is his words, a bottom 6 budget just to see at best a training ground built. Bore off mate, you're doing my fu**ing nut in!

You got to ignore them. They've got it in for our club. You truly believe that ? Some have lived through decades of lack of investment and so are angry because we all thought that, at Long last, we had new & wealthy owners who would bring us some decent facilities and players when, in reality, we have exchanged one bad lot for another lot who wonāt spend any of their own money or even speculate to accumulate and I believe that is what investment bankers do, no ? We were over promised, you couldnāt shut Wael up when he was first here & now youāre lucky if you get a coherent interview. We got sold the evolution line and now itās ā these things take timeā mantra. We have had a quite vulgar charge put against our only asset, making sure they get their money back and are first in any queue and the Cat 2 academy is now going to be an amateur rugby clubs training ground. Batten down the hatches guys, things are going to get rough. As always, I hope Iām proved wrong but I donāt believe ANY gasheads has it in for the club, we are just at tipping point is all. If no promises had been made and no claims given then we would have no reason to get upset but we have been told too much that has not transpired. Itās clear that we are not able to rely upon the owners or you can cake then Dwane Sports if you like. The only good thing we have, DC, is being pushed into a corner. No way do we have it in for the club or we wouldnāt turn up for games or even pass comment. We have just had enough of broken promises You do realise Evolution takes time, no?

Pre window winger situation: Broom Bodin Moore This was an area that needed bolstering so after the window what are left with... Byron Moore- arguably the worst footballer in the football league right now. What was the point of selling bodin if there was gonna be no replacement. Shocking by D.C. can you imagine if this happened at another club, fans would be calling for someoneās head. We couldn't keep Bodin and we have replaced him with Mensah and possibly Bennett. Either we missed out on Khan or his little shoving session with a ref and subsequent ban has shown something about his character that DC didn't like so we pulled the plug? Some people can't seem to get their heads round this fact.
