So you are saying the ITK'ers have convinced the Mayor, Wael, the Bristol Post and BBC's Ali Durden that developers are interested in buidling a new stadium even though there's no intention to do so? If true don't you think Total Produce might have told the BP etc to stop printing rubbish? Exactly. These ego fantasists have been at it for decades in Bristol. The only long term effect has been to make Rovers fans look stupid, the rest of them move on. I can’t imagine Total Produce give a stuff about us and are quite happy for nonsense stories to circulate whist they get on with their true business. At least we now know it’s not happening we can move on and at least educate the next generation not to get had again Where does it say it's not happening? Not a dig genuinely curious.

I will be waiting until April, i believe then is when regeneration plans for the area are to be revealed.

By the time Rovers move into a new stadium (if ever), some clubs will be doing feasibility studies about a second new stadium! For example, Bolton's stadium has been up for 23 years already! It's all so depressing. Let's hope Accrington stay up - that means at least one club in L1 have a worse stadium than us.

Thing is, they are managing within their budget and improving things each season. Small changes but over a period make a big difference and cost effective.

Apart from the Uwe which was only progressed because it involved another body it’s the same as every other pipe dream. Some chat to the Epost and Ali Durden sadly don’t amount to plans for a new stadium. We’ve been had for mugs too many times before to be had again.

Ahh, so you're guessing/making it up. Which is funny, as that's what you're accusing Wael/the media/the club of doing?

Very good value, honest.

If the level of our ambition stretches to creating a bigger shop and calling it a superstore, a refurbished bar and a big screen that certain parts of the ground cannot even see then I can’t say I’m excited about the future.

My support for the board is very low. Unfortunately once this season is done, unless the owners lay down a full house soon and have just been keeping everything quiet for good reason, or they come out and treat the fans with some respect by communicating to its paying customers, I will be voting with my feet. I will not be renewing my season ticket. Many other other things I could invest my money and time instead of buying a season ticket and spend money every Saturday watching us in the watering rain.

Let's look at the facts: - Wael says they're looking at the FM - Media reports on it - darkbluegas says it's the media/club is lying/making it up - darkbluegas is also making it up as they have no proof I'm not saying that it's happening, I'm just pointing out the beautiful irony of your logic - which quite frankly, there isn't any. (Woops! Fact or am I making it up?)

You may believe it is but that doesn't make it a fact.

Same as it ever was, unless of course you know different Unless you are in direct contact with Total Produce/their agents & the developers agents etc how can it be 100% fact? You may believe it is but that doesn't make it a fact. This conversation is madness. Total Produce may or may not be in discussions with developers of the site. They may buy it and they decide to turn it into a retail complex a car lot or a Snowdome, who knows. I’ve yet to hear any developer say they’re thinking of building a football stadium. Again unless anyone knows differently. I take no pleasure in this and it feels like telling the kids that there’s no Santa Claus it’s just horrible to watch other Gasheads get their hopes up on the basis on the square root of nothing. I don’t know how long you’ve lived in Bristol but there is a precedent for this fantasy. As far who would want to build a ground for us, I’ve yet to see any argument that goes some way to suggesting that the finance would in anyway benefit the football club. I’m sure though that many a developer would love to get their hands on the Mem. All the time we believe this nonsense of a new ground again the club is getting into deeper financial problems. So maybe pedalling this myth may serve someone’s purpose to get their hands on the ground when the club Is despate or the Administrators deem it prudent to sell the asset. We often hear that it’s not C££y we should be comparing ourselves with but it’s that organisation that benefits from out stagnation. In the 20 years at the Mem the facility’s have barely improved and young families must have an easy decision when deciding where to spend their sporting pounds in Bristol. This fantasy stadium talk has played straight into Lansdowns hands. He must take great joy in watching this play out while our actual home crumbles around us.
