Can be very sure what wael was talking about as after his comment I shook his hand and said , that's all we wanted to hear , the 5 or so people in my group all heard the same. Just seemed to me and the others there, that all had been agreed in principle but maybe there were other stuff to sort i.e. Lease or buy or maybe the finance itself. Could even be some planning problems still there. By the way this was not the first time I have met him this season as I have a executive box and speak quite often Maybe the "when" comment means everything is agreed with UWE and we're now trying to organise and co-ordinate builders etc. Wael has said before that they will announce when "everything is in place".

More like they will await to exchange contracts on whatever deal has been so say agreed. Could be a while then!

The period between us agreeing in principle to the terms of the deal and it becoming legally binding was 6 months! So don't hold your breath!

I have a cunning plan!!!
From here on in lets just assume we are NOT going to get a new stadium within the next 10 years or so . We have lived with the optimism/hope that this 'wonderful' new stadium is going to happen some time soon. Let's 'lower the bar' in our expectations and look forward to the best pitch in league 1 - the best hand driers in the league with our own BRFC pirate motif - a new media centre and really, really cheap season tickets. We have Gloucester Road, The Welly and lots of other drinking holes to have a pre-match pint and a chat with friends and no real high expectations - and we have the uniqueness which is Bristol Rovers - 'Rag Bag' in a delapidated "Chernobyl" like stadium. I've lived with this type of environment for over 60 years - I'm past fxxkin caring about UWE to be honest but I will continue to support my team - hopefully for a least a few more years yet - probably long after the AQ's and Steve Hamer have gone. I'm sick to death of hearing about UWE lets just get on with what we have and be thankful. If we yo - yo between this division and league 2 - so what we will still be supporting our team - with 4k or 10k support.
We will always want more in whatever division we find ourselves in whether the Ist Division, The Championship or even even The Premiership - but we are still Bristol Rovers and we will continue to have good days and bad days albeit relative to where we find ourselves playing. There may well be a legacy from the AQ's - we will wait and see but hopefully our children and grandchildren will still be supporting/following BRFC and not the self proclaimed prima donnas on the East Side - that is our uniqueness - Que Sera Sera!!!!

King James version,Paul who was chained to the cell wall for being a heretic said,'I have learned whatsoever state I am in therewith to be content'. Up here Stoke and Vale fans moan about their clubs as much as we do.Paul had it right.He was doing what he loved so sod the UWE,sod the other Bristol lot and sod Snakey.
Phillipians Chapter 4 verse 11.

Honestly can't see what all the fuss is about the owners just can't ignore the state of the MEM we still gotta play there for the next 18months/2 years and what is 100k nowadays a couple of days wages for Rooney and Co!,

And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
Genesis 3:15

Surprised by some of the nonsense about the Mem. DC wants a better surface, so the owners are giving him one. The rest of the spending is practically pocket money. Saying "No" to DC would hardly be a good idea.
