Positive news and a short walk from Temple Meads. Let’s hope the family can pull it off and we have a stadium to be proud of. But up until a few weeks ago, Wael was scrambling around trying to find out where the "new owners" were proposing to buy this plot. For him to claim any credit in finding this site is a joke. The Consortium wanting to buy the club and this land have been negotiating for months. This was the news that Knowall and several others knew about for ages. Curiouser and curiouser said Alice. |

Announced just before the first game of the season too. He's a real teaser that Wael :-). At least it’s better than the one just before the season started two years ago! UTG! |

The guy that said Nick Higgs has bought all the land, i want some of whatever you have taken mate.
Sevencider - He says the club is looking at sites, hes part of the club and whether its them or a third party doing the work its on behalf of the club. Hes hardly going to reveal a confidential takeover or third party finance at this stage.

When I was talking to Directors back in the summer they said they were looking for a site with close rail links as after a recent survey results showed that 80percent of fans travelled to matches by car and this was far to high, the club are looking at laying on buses for fans traveling to the mem. So this site fits in with their strategy. I believe Councillors recommended the site to the club, so when it comes to getting planning permission it should be easier to achieve. Although traveling by car to the ground will not be easy so the club are hoping most people will use public transport. Another advantage of this site is that it is not in a heavy residential area so hopefully fewer objections by nimbies.

No, this cant be right. All the special people keep saying that WAQ isn't doing anything behind the scenes. Wael announced on BBC Radio Bristol this afternoon. Looking to put in planning permission. Hoping to buy land and get planning within two years to move in looking and hoping. I will fall back to my default position of i’ll Will believe it when I’m in it. The land there is prime real estate after UWE bought land at StVOhilips marsh. It will be expensive. |

br]because until a brick is laid I’ll never believe it, sick of false dawns So, why is it embarrassing that there is finally some evidence that things are actually going on behind scenes? I will also believe it when I’m sat in it, but it isn’t embarrassing. What is embarrassing is our shithole of a stadium |

I had better phone the local bus company up on Monday then and ask for the bus timetable Carmarthenshire to BRFC St Phillips marsh stadium. I wonder what all the other large number of long distance Gasheads will do without their cars? |

Wael surely has committed himself to this, though I haven't heard the interview, something simply has to happen very very soon if in 2 year he expects us to be playing in a new ground.
Come on Wael make it happen!

Carry on using their cars like me I drive in from Wiltshire not everyone will be able to use public transport. |

Come on Wael make it happen! I think he was saying two years for planning etc No he quite clearly said they would hope to get everything done in two years. He said their original plan was three years but a year has past and so they would like to do it in the next two years. Those comments made me think they may be well down the road on the planning . |

It will take more than two years, once plans are submitted they need to go to consultation which could take anything from 6 months to a year as I am sure there will be revisions. When UWE was being planned there was a 62 week build time. I think three years minimum before we are in the new stadium.

Excuse my ignorance but there are, or seem to be, an awful lot of businesses/ warehouses etc in that area. Whats supposed to be happening with them? Surely they wont be too happy being kicked out so that we can have a (alleged) Stadium on the site?

I wonder what all the other large number of long distance Gasheads will do without their cars? I don't think parking will be an issue for people wishing to drive from distance as you can work out your own park and ride system easily, you for example could use (thinking of places with heaps of residential parking) patchway, filton abbeywood, possibly even Stapleton road. Clare and myself went from Severn beach to Temple meads return a few Saturdays ago and it cost £2 each.... |
