Wael speaks in March,’we are working hard behind the scene on looking for a new site to build a stadium’ Wael speaks in Aug ‘ our preferred site is the Fruit Market & we are working with council on pre planning, we haven’t purchased the land but have agreement that if we get green light, we have the investment in place to buy & build ‘ ( or words to that effect ) I am certainly not pro board, but after all the cloak & dagger over UWE part 1 & 2, why would he say this unless it’s true ? He leaves himself wide open to ridicule if it’s lies. Perhaps there is one shareholder holding out, maybe his position is hopeless if all the others agree - no idea, but will give Wael the benefit of the doubt for now. However, still not excited that it will ever reach ‘fruition’ Interview starts at 20 mins, clear indication was that they only needed to sort out planning and they hoped to have the ground built inside 2 years(!), there's no suggestions they still had to agree on a price for the land with the owners. Agree, and he says the investment is in place, so I am assuming price is agreed. There well may be a shareholder who doesn’t agree, but may have no choice if all the others have signed a contract on the proviso of agreed planning. Just feel he wouldn’t make this public unless he was sure of his facts. Although 2 years, if it gets the green light, is optimistic, unless it’s further down the line than we think. |

Even if no deal can be agreed to buy the fruit market, doesn’t the very fact that Rovers have made a bid for a piece of land to build a stadium indicate they are trying their best to deliver on promises? Certainly it goes against those saying that Wael was just buying time by mentioning the fruit market.

To be putting in planning, there must be some stadium design already, everyone could just be waiting for the green light of the permission to build and have bull dozers go in. Alistair Durden tweeting today that no offer has been accepted by stakeholder is bit conflicting. Never easy Rovers, it's about time our luck changed though. |

Maybe Bristol city council are our partners in this they wanted an arena a mile up the road, we might get a retractable roof rather than a tarpaulin 😂 |

Certainly it goes against those saying that Wael was just buying time by mentioning the fruit market. Yes, but then I can say I made an offer to buy a piece of land out the back of my house on which to build a super deluxe shed. I offered them 50p but the offer was rejected. According to legend we were all set to build an academy on the colony land until DS realised the budget wouldn’t cover it- maybe this is more of the same? Of all things I can quite believe we have had an offer rejected. If the city centre is being regenerated up to the fruit market doesn’t that make the land there waaaay more expensive than the sort of funds we can raise? Does the council really want a stadium in that prime real estate unless it will have a roof to double as the arena? The interesting bit is the bit about it being a 3rd party who made the offer. A 3rd party on behalf of Rovers? |

I think this backs up the version of events that got ad far as WAQ making a statement on Saturday. BCC advised in an informal chat with BRFC that the The Fruit market could be available. BRFC (Starnes) advised Dwayne Sports. Dwayne sports hesitated. Higgs heard this realised that every commercial property developer and his wife Would React. So he reacted before open bidding by putting an agreement/bid in place. What I don't know / understand is if higgs acted alone / with someone else (certainly not BRFC / DW). |

But the indications are today that no price has been agreed with Total Bristol the Fruit Market owners. Plus Severncider suggested that Wael didn't have a clue where the land was until recently, if so, that it sounds like NH, or whoever, was acting alone not after a tip off from DS. |

It really did not take long for the levels of absurdity to reach unprecedented levels.

Yeah, and a couple of years ago the plans were agreed, the finance was in place and we were all eagerly anticipating the start date. We all know how that ended, don't we. It seems to me that WAQ has gone from being the selfie king, sitting with the away fans to being Mr Invisible who pops his head up from behind the parapets after 6 months to talk out of his arse before disappearing again. Its all bullshit I'm afraid. |

Who is this mystery person who re-commenced talks with the UWE then turned to the Fruit Market when they failed? |

The tweet doesn't say a bid has been rejected, it says it hasn't been accepted. This could be because the shareholders haven't voted yet and are still discussing amongst themselves.

Mr Tash can I ask who the letter was addressed to that you saw? It was addressed to Mr John List of Mack (a wholesaler at the market). The letter was intended to be distributed to shareholders of the market. I know a shareholder rather well, and they showed me the letter. |
