I never said it wasn't. It just looks like a rush job though in many places, probably because at the time the tax dodger thought we were about to build UWE and like the spoiled child he is he wanted to get one over on us.
If UWE is ever built why would businesses want to get to drive across Bristol in nightmare traffic when there's a brand new stadium right by the M4?

I would like the ground to be built to its full capacity if it is ever to go ahead. isn't the increased sized circa 26000?
It has/is taken so long, if it is to go ahead then I would love us to go balls out and build to the maximum.
Just my opinions, but getting the ground as big as possible should surely be an aim.
queue people saying no point because we would never fill it.

The Teds never fill Trashton but no one there is complaining.

If a team regularly fills their stadium, that means the stadium is too small!

Personally I'd sooner be one of 15K fans in a 22K stadium than one of 15K in a 26K almost half empty stadium but if rumours are true we're struggling to finance even the 22K stadium, then hoping for the larger capacity one to be built doesn't seem plausible.

Obviously I would take anything said with a pinch of salt (been there, seen that etc) but didn't Wael say the finance wasn't a problem

Finance was never a problem because the stadium will never be owned by Bristol Rovers football club, we will just pay rent to use it. Wael's holding company will own/finance it, just like the training ground

Very true, i was referring to it not being an issue for the club, but DS. We will be in the same position as loads of clubs in that we will not own any assets, unlike our current position as we own the Mem....

We haven't really owned the Mem since the wonga loan was secured against it have we?

With the ground being on Universities Campus doorstep, I would expect there to be a good core of supporters. Then i would expect us to offer very good prices to ALL students whether they are at UWE of not to sit in certain areas of the ground to entice a few more through the turnstiles. As others have said Wael has confirmed that Finance are not a problem. As regards to Breaking even and financial fair play, there is no reason why the Al Qadi bank could not sponsor the stadium to increase income ala Etihad/ Man City Owners do.

The ground can be extended at anytime anyway. Can't see there being that much difference in price between the two builds though, as they were both one tier. It was if we wanted to go upto 33,000 that another tier would be added. If it's still one tier I can't see a big difference in price and it would be a lot cheaper than doing it a few years down the line, once we are already in the stadium.

I think if the capacity was increased after the build it would be a referb and be liable to VAT.
