Why would the UWE allow Rovers to make an income from a stadium owned by the university that would be bonkers. IMO if rovers were a tenant they would be required to pay a rent and receive nothing from the bars, shops etc. .... IMO Rovers would be *******, higgs and co would sell the MEM take all the money and disappear, and leave the club and its supporters with nothing = Eastville, I do not recall seeing Boycie at Twerton.

A decent ground Chance to progress like Swansea Debt free NH free Potentially increased attendencies/income Stadium manged by the UWE rather than our BoD
Negatives
Eastville MK2 An athletics track? Loss of control over income streams

Couldn't they have done that anyway, but didn't?

So Rovers would generate all the money but get nothing for it? They would sell Rovers merchandise but get nothing for it? The UWE would need us just as much as we'd need them. Otherwise they'd have a big white elephant on their land they could have sold for housing.

About 70 years ago Rovers sold Eastville to the greyhound company. In the eighties they increased the rent so Rovers would have gone broke if they stayed. Thus Twerton (Could be worse - could have been Trashton)

I enjoy chatting bollox but some of the stuff on this thread is off the radar! It's amazing what peoples minds can do with a vague single paragraph press release which doesn't even involve us as far as we know!

Just like the Subway deal @ the UWE, they will franchise the bars etc to the Rovers on Match days

Aaaaaaaa....... Aren't you forgetting something in your little rant ..... Higgs and co would sell the MEM take all the money and disappear...... Seems to me that would please many and most on the other forum ....and it would leave Rovers with new owners to progress the club - isn't that what all the board haters are desiring ?

UWE is supposed to be about all the extra facilities to generate for us. If UWE built it they would want that money and anything genersted from any other events, concerts.or.whatever

Very happy with moving to a 15,000 all seater. Concerned about being tenants again. I suppose it depends on the terms of the lease (and the length)

As long as we've still got a club and can enjoy watching them I'm not sure I can worry about anything else.

If UWE built it they would want that money and anything genersted from any other events, concerts.or.whatever So we'd have the same revenue as now but be paying rent for the ground. Although you'd expect our revenue to increase due to the fact we aren't playing in a decrepit shithole. If we could balance it that we wouldn't be any worse off than we are now, which we shouldn't be as our debt would be gone, then it sounds OK to me.
