I’m not getting into that. For the record, I think WAQ wants the best for us but I do worry that his family have a different view. Just my opinion of course. Not having a pop about it just that its very easy to make assurances and just as easy to break them For the record i believe Wael will deliver us a new stadium I understood that Ian, I wish I shared the same belief as you but I find it very difficult to believe anything because this is Rovers we’re talking about. I’ve no doubt WAQ has the right intentions but none of us have any idea if he has the backing of his family so I will reserve comment as I have no proof, either way but, like the rest of us, hear gossip and speculation. It’s a brave poster who posts content as fact when it is no such thing

It’s a brave poster who posts content as fact when it is no such thing Cheers for the replies KP. I understand the worries, even the most optimistic can't be 100% happy. They did make a statement in December saying that Dwayne Sports etc are fully committed to the club. I believe they did this when they announced the collapse of the stadium & training ground falling through (which Wael since confirmed on radio was UWE). Wael was also asked by GT if the family was behind him, which he replied roughly, "as far as I know" - obviously this can be taken out of context but it was meant as a yes. It's fact that they didn't do their proper due diligence on BRFC, gashead1981 confirmed they admit this too in the thread, and IMO like you I do believe that Wael has the best intentions for this club but I do think the family are probably looking to sell most of the shares to another party.

So, the consensus is if you've got an issue with the way the club is run chat to Wael? Ok, great, but why not do what an actual business does and relay the information through the correct channels? To be honest I'm bored of the whole thing. You've got the Waeliacs on one side frothing at the mouth to back their sweet prince, on the other side the Al-Baddies who think everything the owners do is awful. In real terms they're both as divvy as one another and both signing up in one way or another to the cult of personality. Maybe the Al-Qadi's are sh**e, maybe Higgs was sh**e, maybe Ware was sh**e, maybe Dunford was sh**e, maybe Bradshaw was sh**e, maybe Vernon Stokes was sh**e, maybe Martin Flook was sh**e, maybe they're just all sh**e. Actually Vernon was a decent director who used to hold a forum where all support groups attended and formed a common bond which is just as it should be considering we all support the same club. Geoff Dunford was also a very good director but unfortunately made one or two wrong decisions which have proved costly. I agree with you about the others.

I would like him to explain why the car park has gone up from £130/season to £170/season for no tangible improvement to said car park The Fruit Market won’t come cheap.....🤭 The poultry market will though.
