So the short list of sites so far is... The Mem. Frenchay hospital Broomhill next to the m32. The old brick works near Lyde green. Easter Compton (again) The dings (midland road/old market area) St Phillips marsh Brislington near the ring road. The playing fields the opposite side of muller road from the Mem. (would be close to a new railway platform possibly ) Golden Hill sports fields (next to Tesco) Filton airfield Stoke Gifford between ring road and m4 (not far from hambrook/uwe) Dublin. The Colony site.

Or he finds another "project" and leaves us saying whilst we're a great club as he was unable to deliver a new stadium due to issues with UWE/BCC/SGlos etc etc he now feels he's taken us as far as he can but on field we're in a far better place, meaning that his credibility in world football remains in tact? 2 years today since the takeover I wonder how many years more it will be before we know if we're finally getting a new stadium. Except that the premise was that he wanted a club to engratiate himself with the top of world football. If he moved on he would no longer have a club. He would then have to start again which could well mean more money and possibly moving abroad due to ownership rules. Plus, if he did that whenever things got difficult then he will get the wrong reputation. That is assuming he can sell, which as you have already pointed out would not be easy due to the level of debt/investment made to date. Or we could take him at face value and give him the benefit of the doubt, at least for the time being.

The Colony site. One of the reasons Wael also broke the UWE was because he said it would make us nomadic. So anywhere from the bottom of Muller Road to the top of Horfield is out the question. If he thought UWE was out the way then we can discount mangotsfield, Frenchay, Old Market et al.

It seems he's just chucked a bunch of random names into the list, given in my message I stated I hadn't even listened to the interview.
Though, as far as I'm concerned it sounds like the interview is just another holding measure to string along the fans for another several months. After what's gone by, seeing is believing.
You really think that? He's stringing the fans along? See, I didn't get that at all. I don't see what he has to gain by doing that. I do, yes. I just think maybe owning a football club is a bigger and more expensive job than he realised. I know I'm quite negative about our position, but I wasn't always like this. I hope one day I'm sat in a 17k+ all seater stadium either where we are of or elsewhere. Can't see it, but haven't got much other choice but to wait and see how this plays out...

Cracking interview,everything wael said made sense and stands up. Exactly. Only those with hidden agenda's can be negative about it. However, I give it a week before a fair few forgets whats been said by Wael and they get all impatient again!

My only "hidden agenda" is I'd like to see Rovers play in a new stadium with my children, or even grandchildren, before I'm too old to enjoy it, nothing Wael has said in his interview gives me any real hope that will be the case.

You missed the plan b, c, d, e bit? Wael is as keen as the rest of us to have a new stadium. It'll happen, just let them get on with it.

Ah, so what if Wael and the family don't deliver a new stadium.
Nor did the previous board so we are no worse off.
I don't care either way anymore.
Too many people on here looking to stir sh** and bad mouth the club. And for what? For doing as little as has ever been done for us??
Get over it and support your club instead of trying to pick at it.
