Are their any construction experts on here ? How cheaply could we conceivably build a 10000 capacity stadium on some disused land somewhere ? Could we flog the mem, pay off the board (approx £5.5m) pay of the external debt ( approx £1.5m) and still have enough in the jar for a cheapy ground somewhere ? Could even have safe standing behind both goals

Could also buy land with a bigger footprint and take the stands with us like Forest Green did as temporary measure

No idea about construction costs but I'd dread going through planning permission again, then any appeal that we're bound to incur from the NIMBYs of Bristol. Wherever we build there'll be people like TRASH or the dog walkers that stopped City's proposed stadium. Legal fees will rack up.

Who is going to run the club ? One of the many people who have bid to invest over the past decade. As a completely debt free club as it would be with average gates of 6000 it could be run by a supporters trust |

My preference would be the rumoured Chris Jelf poposal from the summer of Colin Williams as chairman with Mike Turl and Chris Jelf as directors. This brings investment, financial management continuity and experince. All big gasheads too.

Lol. How simple. Stop dreaming Dins, it doesn't help! Forest Green have built a stadium cheaply and took their old stands with them. Its a dream but its not impossible. If uwe does not happen there will be other options but they key is boardroom change. |

If uwe does not happen there will be other options but they key is boardroom change. Forest Greens last Chairman was a multi millionnaire. Had sole control over the club. Forest Greens new Chairman is a billionnaire (so I heard on Mon). They are in the countryside, the locals want a sports team up there and the council were onside due to the new houses that were needed on the hill. The situation is that FGR have much fewer complexities to hold them back compared to us. There are alot of misguided threads popping up on here lately. Much speculation and little thought. Just because your stadium is smaller, that doesn't negate planning, cost analysis, land, etc etc etc, it would still take years to push through. Then you are suggesting buying out the BoD! Selling the Mem to who exactly?! Im just saying that 2 liner simplistic suggestions don't help anybody. Especially when it is apparent that very few people know anything factual about our predicament. A little news flash pops out and people spin their heads round and run in the opposite direction! |

Surely the land is what costs the money?? If Sainsburys are allowed to pull out we can sell the mem to someone else. We might get less money, however, surely we can find new investors to make up the difference.
Higgs might have a plan B, but can't talk about it. Don't forget the whole thing was planned without any of us knowing! Funny how know one moaned they were kept in the dark then. Sometimes things are planned better behind closed doors.

It's plain to see Bristol Rovers' future does not lie within BCC's jurisdiction, but South Glos.

Correct me if I am wrong, didn't Redrow build the stadium at Nailsworth in exchange for the land that the lawn was on? Was the main stand on the old ground, or just the two ends?
Go on then, let me have it!

This disused land we speak of, haven't we been down that road before (Severnside, Hengrove)?
Nothing is cheap anymore, builders are all looking for land to build houses on

You cant post anytjing on this forum without getting torn apart You call it torn apart whilst I'll call it counter argument. Don't be so soft and argue your case. Why can't we all put opinions in without getting all upset about it? I have put a few points in my post, counter those. If people are going to publicly post ideas and topics it's unrealistic to expect everybody to agree all the time. Where is this spot for the cheaper ground? Bear in mind we have proposed a few spots over the last 15 years. |
