I'd be surprised considering no plans have actually been submitted With the Bristol Green Party having control over the planning committee stage i can't see any plans getting past them without a substancial ethical element to it The ethical element is no Sh1!heads are allowed in it . |

Sam frost today: A common question, Chris. The developer's (Conygar) period of exclusivity with Wholesale Fruit Centre Ltd expired on July 5 . When this ended, we asked the company for a comment but it said it is not yet in a position to do so and it will comment in due course. We expect an announcement soon that the sale of the site has been completed. Is the last sentence guesswork, or does you know more that he can't say?? Whatever it is it still gives you hope that they'll eventually be a positive announcement. |

It's been very vague from the start, we may be interested in building a stadium on a piece of land someone else may or may not buy! Would you prefer the opposite option, to let the fanbase know before all the agreements and legalities have been completed? That would be a huge mistake IMO, unless you know of a better option then please share how you would move stadium developments forward? |

All the planning application needs to state is that there'll be no on-site parking and everybody will have to use public transport to get to the stadium, and the plans will soon be approved. |

I don’t think it would be a problem in any case as it’s been industrial land and had lots of traffic for years. I’d also imagine roads would be updated and changed, as part of this development. Bristol CC has not been a problem with us in the past |

If Rovers were to attain promotion the 10,000 Memorial Ground capacity would be inadequate to the extreme. This would not be enough to pay a squad of Championship players apart from the expensive recruitment. The small band of season ticket holders would be frustrated with the club trying to avoid relegation season upon season. Could Rovers compete with the big clubs who will have 18,000-25'000 ticket holders? That is why Rovers need to depart the dilapidated Memorial Stadium to make real progression!! UTG.

That’s why we can’t give a lick of paint to the mem and assume that we’ll be ready to compete in the championship. A new stadium, with the revenue opportunities that come with it, will give us our best chance. |

100% agree, teams like Wycombe and Burton managed it for a couple of seasons, Yeovil managed 1 didn't they, we need a bigger stadium asap, knock down the 2 stands and get rid of the tents and make it like the Thatchers all the way round I'd say. I know I know what about the boxes, maybe get rid of the tent and put them up that end.

With some of the revenue proceeds going to property owners? The longer the deafening silence about the fruit market goes on, the more inclined I'm becoming to developing the Mem. Now THAT would give us a good chance to progress as opposed to waiting another decade to find, approve, fund and build somewhere new. I know Wael MIGHT have plans afoot and an announcement MIGHT be made, but maybe not. Such admirable patience from those who believe, in the total absence of any evidence that anything is happening. Regardless of opinion, it's been proved in previous plans that the Mem can take at least an 18k stadium. And to expand, if we can't build out, then we can build up. Add tiers on. I bet the potential investors in a prime site next to the Gloucester Road would be queuing up. And as Wael said, it's a big beautiful piece of land. Steve Lansdown didn't hang about after the Ashton Vale plans fell through. Ashton Gate wasn't what he had in mind, but look at what they've managed to achieve, for a relatively small sum compared to building a new stadium. |

At an Open Day once,Geoff Dunford told us the Dri Build stand was being extended the whole length of the pitch and also where the South Tent is now.
When we were told to choose our seats at Cheltenham for the Mem re development it didn't take Sherlock Holmes to work out why the demolition hadn't even begun in August.When the club were asked why this was ,Lennie Lawrence stated the players needed somewhere to meet before travelling.
I can see why there are an increasing numbers in the 'Believe it when I'm sat in it' Brigade.

Always seems strange to me to imagine we're going to achieve something a club owner with almost limitless billions of tax free cash couldn't. Hey Ho!! Here to the next 40 years of chat about a new stadium |

Problem is whilst the site can take an 18K stadium nobody has come up with a plan which is viable so it can be financed It's OK posting suggesting we must develop the Mem but they are not the ones having to finance the development. Although if Sam Frost is correct we should get some positive news about the FM sale soon, perhaps when Wael returns to the UK for the start of the new season? |

Tom Gorringe categorically ruled out redevelopment of the Mem on the gascast podcast.
