Reading this thread makes me glad I'm not in to all the politics at BRFC. I pays me money, I watch the game, I have a moan & groan and I go home. Anything else like loans & shares, and who owns what, and what happens in the boardroom goes completely over my head! So, you don't want to buy my shares then?

I thought I knew the answer to this but as things can change I saw Nick Higgs after todays game and he assured me that NONE of the previous Directors have been repaid and said "I can guarantee you 100% that is the case", in fact he was quite indignant that anyone is suggesting otherwise.
I assume you are not suggesting that Nick Higgs is lying.
So what you are saying then is Sir Nick & co just handed the club over for no money then..........

I expect he got it on the cheap - i.e. Next to if not nothing, on the basis that he clears the Wonga loan, builds the club a stadium somewhere within a reasonable distance of Bristol, and pays off director loans. Sounds like the payment to directors is conditional on the Mem sale. Interestingly, makes it seem like contractually redeveloping the Mem is not an option.

Since the departure of Toni Watola, I have no idea who the Company Secretary is.

Before talking complete nonsense it would be a good idea to actually do some research and get some facts right, the club was not sold on the cheap at all.

David Sams is the clubs secretary.

I'd like to know who came up with Dwane? It's a made-up English looking word which is derived from the Arabic expression for, "Taylor is a Lady Garden"......or it may not be.

Never suggested they would have i? But I bet I'm right that Dwane Sports never offered them the chance to invest in the training ground - of course not Still just keep pretending that Dwane Sports & Bristol Rovers are the same thing even when you point at they aren't Really don't see a problem - Dwane Sports are the parent company of the club and the owner of 92% of the club. The club, the training ground and Dwane Sport are all owned by the family. What is the problem? The worst case scenario is the training ground might be sold at a future date but the owners could do this wherever the title to the land is parked. I really don't see a problem either - the question I would ask what was the alternative before they took over ?

I think some are confusing selling the club with repaying director loans, I should point out that I know nothing, just making an obvious assumption. NH must have put cash in at points to keep us going. For which we should all be grateful. He is often ridiculed, but he did more than most other fans personally to support his club. The greatest contribution of all was finding the right buyer in Wael. This contribution should not be underestimated. Plus... he drives a cool Range Rover.

then start the scare mongering
