Fruit Market OFF - Club redeveloping Mem instead.

That’s why I didn’t buy a football club that desperately needs a new ground as I can’t finance one 🙄

I'm pretty sure he meant it as a joke bags. I have deleted the post anyway.

@4thusername can you clarify?

Ummm no just my idea of humour. Apologies. No offence meant.

Wael wasn’t involved in the plans for any of those but I appreciate the history of these failed ventures is a huge frustration to all us supporters. You won’t find any fan that doesn’t want a new stadium or redeveloped Mem and Wael will be as desperate as us to secure a new home, not just so we’ve got something nice and shiny to sit in but to stop these continuing losses which he has to support and allow us to progress as a football club.

We would all love a running commentary of what discussions or projects are being worked on behind the scenes but that isn’t realistic, especially if we are part of a far bigger development project with other parties involved. We didn’t get a running commentary when the deal with UWE was being cooked up, as I recall nobody knew a thing until the artists impressions were plastered all over the Evening Post. Perhaps Wael overstepped the mark when he first admitted involvement with the Fruit Market and was told to keep quiet until all involved were ready to go public.

Unless there is someone among us fans with hundreds of millions to invest and is willing to spend it on a stadium we have no choice but to be patient and support Wael not try and drive him away. Does anyone seriously think he doesn’t want to get the ground issue resolved, he’s shown himself to be a fan like the rest of us and he’s got the added incentive of protecting his (and his families) finances.
Like I’ve said the constant sniping and negativity towards Wael is unnecessary and unhelpful.

Get back ere baggie,
He was just pis sing about ..

But in the same breath, how do we know they are not? Just because it isn’t in the public domain doesn’t mean nothing is happening and the people raising the questions, are they directly involved or have a given right to know or are they an average supporter who has no legal right to be informed? Yes it’s of interest but unless we have a direct and personal involvement, we have no right above anyone else to be given information until it’s in the public domain and that will happen when everything is 100% confirmed…. They have been burned too many times before with people leaking info before it’s ready to be released etc

For what it is worth, I have spoken to TG about staying at the Mem and a new stadium. He said that the club had looked at staying at the Mem but the main issue is location and access to the site . The club have looked at using park and ride to ferry supporters in to reduce traffic congestion but haven't taken it any further . They are looking at other sites and of course the one we all know about is the Fruity Market.
The thing is that what ever happens we arn't going to be in a new stadium in the next few years , so i think we should all concentrate on the football, if we get promoted then the club will have two years to either make the Mem seated/ safe standing or move into a new stadium fit for purpose , so the owners will be forced into doing something.

Buy IKEA and surrounding Business Park, knock it down and take us back to our Spiritual home then, we've been gone 37 years.... Its time to go home. We have never had a Moses' and Biblically it took him 40years.

Now I really know how he **** felt!

😣😣😣😣😣🙄☹️🤫


I want to go home to Eastville 😢

With the long history of dissapointment as far as stadium projects has gone. All the artists impressions and optimistic fans that end up being dejected.
It is quite possible Wael does not want us to go through it all again.

Keeping silent on stadia untill everything is in place.

One thing we have to accept is that we shouldnt moan about location.
Where ever the stadium is situated we have to embrace it. Its likely to be our only chance for a new stadium to happen.
