We? Speak for yourself. Speak for the majority pal. No evidence to suggest otherwise.

Just received my season ticket through the post complete with an application form for helpline membership with a picture of the UWE gracing the page. That obviously confirms it will happen! Helpline - now here's a question which no-one within the club has managed to answer.
How much money is raised by Helpline each year, how much of it has been donated to BRFC and what are the proceeds targeted at.
I have been a member of Helpline for many years but the Accounts appear to be very secretive as they do not have a "members" meeting or produce any accounts. I am not suggesting anything is wrong, just that I'd like to know how the funds are used.
Why don't you ask Martyn on match days he is always walking around and very approachable instead of moaning about it on a public forum, but then again you like to do that don't you Both his wife and himself work very hard for the club at great cost to themselves, do you donate that amount of time to the club for free ??

It's a perfectly legitimate question. How much does it generate year on year, and how much does it give to the club. Are funds used for anything else (other than covering the prizes). As far as anyone knows the Helpline is a one man band, what would happen to it if Martyn couldn't or didn't want to do it anymore?

Both Martyn and his wife do the help line, but the software is run from a central source so with a little bit of training, other people could do it with a little bit of training. I will continue to maintain the computers for them

We? Speak for yourself. Speak for the majority pal. No evidence to suggest otherwise. It was a majority pal it might still be the majority pal but as every week of f**k all happening goes by more and more people are moving away from the blind faith you are still waving the flag for pal. The more things change the more they stay the same.

The more things change the more they stay the same. Understand the frustration given how long we've waited for a new ground but the reality is these things take time and the most important thing is that the deal is right for BRFC. I'm still confident. Clearly the situation has legs otherwise we would have walked away by now.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before. UWE has formed a partnership with Bristol City Foundation Trust for 3 year Sports Acadamy Degrees utilising " the new start of the art football stadium at Ashton Gate" - taken from UWE website. I beginning to feel some serious questions ought to be aimed AGAIN at Steve Hamer through perhaps local media about the UWE situation - the whole saga is now becoming almost to the point of ridicule. We have been fobbed off long enough - the landing lights are definitely off and we've run out of fuel. Perhaps we need to start a new thread with this Mr Moderator.

There seems to be a bit of unsubstantiated mail coming through that the day might not actually ever eventuate for UWE.

I'm slowly getting the feeling it won't happen anytime soon, if ever, based on nothing i've been told Wael will need to give us some sort of statement to keep the fans on side or we could end up with a lot of frustrated Gasheads

And if the above is correct then personally I find it hard to see him staying beyond the end of this season. Lets hope it's all BS.

As I have said many times before . A date now needs to be set and every party should stick to that date. It works at national level in striking big deals and local level in safeguarding funding before cut off dates. The talk is AUGUST meaning south glou planning and external contractors needing heads up 2-3 months prior start date. So in theory early June should give indications.
Although I want a new UWE like everyone else. I don't want it at the cost of continuing dragging : promises and false dawns. If it aint gonna happen let us know and at least celebrate the progress on the pitch..

We have been told a deal needs to be sorted by August because of Planning permissions and getting things done. we will know one way or another in the next 3 or 4 months. What can we possibly be told now unless something is sorted (or we pull out) before then?

Agree with what you say, what is a big worry for me is the actual cost to build the thing must have gone since the £40m quoted by Sir Nick all those years ago... Will we have to compromise on the design to come within budget ?

August (end of?) is when something needs to be agreed so that the contractor have the 2-3 months etc to get going The actual PP deadline is January isn't it?
