I've can't see how building a bit of farmland at Almondsbury is going to keep Rovers fans happy if the UWE bites the dust plus if they've bought the 29 acres for just £250K they must be good negotiating given that farm land with no pp potential is worth at least £10K per acre.
SH said a month or so ago we'd know by August and has given two updates since and also appeared at the WSM SC, which is hardly being selfish.

Think you will find the we will know by August quote was far longer ago than a month or so. Any updates I have heard since then have been nothing quotes which told everybody simply nothing.

Posters on this thread really need to get a grip of themselves why's the UWE suddenly dead in the water today when it wasn't yesterday, just because Keith the Clown has tweeted more nonsense today? Do you think the ALQ's were really going to spend a £1m+ buying the training ground at Almondsbury if they felt the UWE wasn't going to go ahead, if it wasn't they could have just strung along for a few more months and then said both projects were feasible. Topper, 1m to the alq and people in football world is pocket change. But would they just waste it to keep a few Gasheads happy for a couple of months? If they were stringing us along why even get involved in buying the land, as apart from DC, nobody was demanding they bought a training ground? Personally, as I've always been, I'm sat on the fence wondering what will happen but I'm not going to start worry over a KC tweet, perhaps the new BP reporter will get to know soon he's a clown.

Topper I am wanting the same thing as you believe me, few things would make me happier than to see the uwe built but some things aren't adding up.

Have read the Evening post story and for the life of me can not see why the club legal team would contact the Chimp We've only got his word for it that they have. If an announcement came from him that the pope was a catholic I'd have to seek a second source for confirmation.

Perhaps because he's told blatant lies, then again perhaps he's lying about being contacted, is he really connected to Hanham Athletic or is that a lie as well?

That is the wierd thing who gave the training ground a thought. Ever since the takeover the Stadium was thought to be key. I suppose the colony was too good an oppertunity to pass up while stadium negotiations were ongoing. If it all comes off it will turn out to be a brilliant bit of business. Let's hope so.

Wael had just appeared on madeinbristol.tv being interviewed yesterday at the training sessions and answered "we are still working hard" on the stadium plans when asked, so I assume we'll can all now sleep a bit easier tonight as he's given the up date posters were demanding earlier.

Did he talk about the massive update to the mem pitch in the summer ? Was told tonight that they are replacing the drainage and removing 18 inch of the top soil and using it at the new training ground to help create the 8 football pitch's in the new plans

Must be end of season time where people talk even more bull$hit. New owners have done more for this football club than anyone since Dennis dunford. August we have been told which is more than Higgs ever said. Let's see what august brings. If it's bad uwe news then it's kind of good news that we won't be taken for mugs. If it's good uwe news then I believe our business family owners have done the right deal for us and them. Right now they are all we got and I trust in them.

Really hope im wrong Why would anyone not buy a ticket for 23 matches at the mem next year on basis of UWE confirmed as cancelled? Genuine question as I can't see how a decision on next season ticket would be impacted for most people. I'd have thought that's very much driven by what happens on the pitch

The land at Almondsbury is what is known in the trade as 'low grade agricultural land'. £250,000 was the most it was worth.

Wouldn't surprise if it is true as the only thing I remember from the youtube videos is the noise from the motorway.
