I will Only people who don't go to games won't notice I go to games and I honestly wouldn't notice, never look to see who's in box 1 or any other box tbh, too busy watching the game or queuing for ciders in the bar. |

Considering the mess he was left with i think he is doing a good job  What taking a mid table Div 1 club with little debt to Div 2 club via the Conference now with a near £10m debt?? . We have been losing money for years, well before Higgs was here. A lot of the debts now are because of the Uwe set backs. |

A lot of the debts now are because of the Uwe set backs. Our debts were small fry in the past compared to the £10m debts we are heading for now. If the consortium doesn't exist it be interesting to see what NH's plans are to pay back the wonga loan etc. A loan at present where we seemingly can't even afford to pay the interest let alone start paying back the loan itself. |

Just out of interest, how many of the faithful 6,500 do you class as 'the gullible support base' who will hail 'sir nick'? And fall for what exactly 'again'? |

Can we have some more wild guesses, these old ones are boring now, how about NH nukes the Mem and sells the footage for millions, pays off the loans, collects the insurance and builds us a mini Wembley ? Sounds simple eh ?  |

SL funds the build on behalf of UWE, moves Bristol Rugby there and then arranges 50 year lease
for Rovers to play home games there.

False hope is what we love to fall for. |

Right back to where we were in 1996, but with a nicer stadium to rent |

It's easy to be sarcastic about those who knock Nick Higgs but what aspects of his tenure to date have actually been a success?
Has he improved the facilities?
Has he lowered debt?
Has he made us sustainable?
Has our league position improved?
Has he put money in to the club that he won't get back (loans)?
Has he always been honest and never misled the fans?
If he becomes the man who sells out our ownership of the ground will it be ok to say bad things then?
At what point will it be ok to say he really hasn't done as well as we would have liked?
I dont necessarily want him gone, but I really, really don't want another 10 years like the 10 we've just had.
Arise Sir Nick....

"messed up" we were a mid table div 1 club with plans for a student accomadation financed new mem around the time NH took over with the only major debt being the Mem mortgage? From memory MT & KS were forced out around the time NH took over so he was hardly the only person who came forward.
As far as the suggestion the UWE will build the stadium or Bath RFC want to share it there's little evidence that's even a possibility.
