Who knows ? But I’d be very surprised if the board aren’t looking at other sites. Regeneration of the Mem would probably be last resort and they’ve only been here two years it’s very early days. I’d imagine they’ve got at least one location probably three or four that they’re looking at. We’ll find out all in good time. Shall I start the rumour officially that...... The site at Frenchay hospital is a potential site. The downgraded hospital will be rebuilt in a more user friendly compact manner. This will free up a great deal of land. More than enough for a stadium and hotel and housing. The NHS/south Glos can then use the land sales to help fund the rebuilt hospital.
You heard it here first.
No chance, the Friends of Frenchay have secured the green belt for the local community.

what you wouldn’t want to share trashton? Milan do it All those UEFA and Champions league games messing up our fixture list, no way! Anywhere else would be too far away, unless Twerton gets a £30 million face lft that is. And we don’t want to get into the PL! At Bournemouth last year I think I saw 10 Saturday 3.00 kick offs at home. The rest were changed to 12.30 or Sunday 12.30, 1.30 or 4.00 or even Mondays. And it’s not been any better this year. It does your head in esp for someone like me who wants Saturday at 3.00! The one good thing is that if there isn’t a clash I have been able to get in more Rovers matches, so not all bad I suppose but I hate Sunday football! UTG!

An interesting interview and interesting thread. So many saying that the wrong questions were asked or not asked - those being Toppergas, Baggins, Singupgas, Sallycinnamon, Gas365, xplosivegas, markczgas, and Dinsdale I do hope you all will be at the AGM on 12 March 7.30pm so that you can ask the questions you say should have been asked. Only shareholders allowed but with such strong opinions, you are all bound to be shareholders?
Oh and a special award to Gertrude1883 for the best post on this thread so far - loved it!

"Only shareholders allowed but with such strong opinions, you are all bound to be shareholders?" Harsh IMO. Are you saying only shareholders are allowed to have strong opinions?

It ruins football as a pastime and makes it a commodity. I hate the Premier League.

So let’s get this straight we are only proper fans with real views entitled to ask searching questions if we are shareholders?

When we move into the new stadium lets say for argument sake 5 years, the club will be offering a 10 year season ticket deal, that means a lot of on this forum will be in there nineties we could name one stand, The Grumpy Old Git Stand to put us all in. I want to be Waldorf in that new stand. I'll be of that age by the time it happens. Any takers for Statler?

Supporters support the club in all kinds of ways dependent on time money and each individuals personal circumstances. Supporting the team in my mind is attending when you can and shouting as loud as you can :-)

Have you got any spare shares to sell? As far as questions if Wael's got nothing to hide why doesn't he just agree to appear on Having a Gas or pre match on Saturday Sport instead on continually turn down GT's requests? Incidentally are the rumours from the CoP true that the overall club debts is going to be a real shocker when it's announced shortly?

Who knows ? But I’d be very surprised if the board aren’t looking at other sites. Regeneration of the Mem would probably be last resort and they’ve only been here two years it’s very early days. I’d imagine they’ve got at least one location probably three or four that they’re looking at. We’ll find out all in good time. Shall I start the rumour officially that...... The site at Frenchay hospital is a potential site. The downgraded hospital will be rebuilt in a more user friendly compact manner. This will free up a great deal of land. More than enough for a stadium and hotel and housing. The NHS/south Glos can then use the land sales to help fund the rebuilt hospital.
You heard it here first.
Unless you know something not in the public domain, I don't think that is likely. The land is earmarked for housing and they have already started building. I just can't see the land owners selling sufficient acreage to allow for the stadium and necessary parking. Plus the main road is not that big. The main reason Southmead was chosen over Frenchay for the combined super hospital is down to 'postcode snobbery'. The land in Frenchay will sell houses at a premium compared to Southmead. This was confirmed by a good friend who is best mates with a former local MP. Hey! I can claim to be ITK about something😀

After reading a post on the other forum, I thought I would look at the club statement from last August. I don't recall this at the time but seems pretty clear no options are discounted.
"Dwane Sports is disappointed to announce that its discussions with UWE regarding a potential stadium development for the Club have been brought to a close as the parties were unable to agree acceptable terms.
We will now immediately turn our attention to exploring all other opportunities for a new stadium or for a substantive redevelopment of the Memorial Stadium, whilst at the same time continuing to develop the new Colony training ground.
We would like to thank the Club's supporters for your continuing patience as we continue to work on this very important project."

Perhaps the Supporters Club reprentative on the board can ask on their behalf? After all, that is part of his remit.

Um, Frenchay Hospital was torn down 2 years ago and is now reaching the completion of 400 houses so no chance.
