Just when you think all hope is lost it seems the UWE are looking to build their own stadium and we could be tenants! Thanks to Rich on the other forum for this Vital link. UWE

Not sure it's a shame as it's better than nothing! What's annoying is NH will probably clear his loan by selling the Mem and BRFC will have to pay for his foolish pursuit of Sainsbury's.

IF UWE are interested in funding their own stadium, would it not be financially wiser for both parties to enter into a joint ownership situation and stick to the original 21K plans? Surely the mem has to be worth a decent chunk even if it's sold just for housing?

Build wise? If NH isn't involved it'll probably be ready for next season! I guess pp won't be a problem if S Glos allow a 15K rather than 20K stadium referred to in their master plan. Although you do wonder where a Uni can raise £20m from just to build a stadium as that's an hell of a lot of student loans!

Exactly what I was thinking, I mean whatever UWE's cost of building a 15000 seater would be put it together with say the £10million Rovers would get for the Mem site and surely the 21700 stadium becomes a viability

Would a state owned organisation be able to become joint shareholders of a private limited company?

I think I can remember reading somewhere that there were other interested parties in buying the Mem but Sainsburys were their preferred choice obviously the highest bidder, I wonder if the other parties could still be interested albeit for a lower price and put this towards the UWE 's interest in building the stadium surely they'll get £20 million for the land off another supermarket that'll be 50% of the stadium cost and UWE can find the other half.

Just as one door seemingly closes. Surely we can put some sort of deal in place where we can purchase the stadium in the future. I can't help but feel a 15,000 seater better suits our needs. Something a little bigger than Rotherham's New York stadium would be ideal. We could always expand i'm sure. I was really impressed by Rotherham's ground. It seems far bigger than it is and you don't have the mass of empty seats on the same scale as, for example, Huddersfield or Wigan.

I think it could be good if we sold the Mem for whatever we can get and maybe go halves.

Only worry would be the Coventry scenario. We sell the Mem, become a tennant at the mercy of someone else...
