Who cares, not worth getting your knickers in a knot over it! 1, I'm not wearing knickers. Im home alone so i'm catching the breeze right now while I have the chance 2, I'm not even bothered but I do like to reply to people though as it is polite 3, I was only saying I wasn't doing what was claimed.
Nothing wrong with that surely? calm down no need to get yer balls in a twist!

you stay and watch that’s your parogative, live and let live I say. Although I 100% disagree about the traffic. With respect. How do you know about the traffic if you don’t stay to the end? In any case how is fear of sitting in a traffic jam for 15 minutes so big that people leave before the end on days like yesterday? I do wonder what they do with this extra 15 minutes of their life that is so much better than seeing the end of a game involving their favourite football team and seeing them score a late winner! ummm maybe it’s because I have stayed to the end before and noticed the difference. I would gladly take an extra 15 of my over watching 8 minutes of the gas at 3 nil down.

Iv left early many times. Don’t see the big deal really, you take a gamble on beating the traffic over the potential to see another goal. But what can I say I’m only a second rate gashead. This beating the traffic is nonsense, a myth in the minds of people who’ve never seen a final whistle. I live 15 miles from the ground and when I go to the game by car I’m always home by 5.55 for Saturday games. Yesterdays 94th minute winner, like Lee Browns’s 92nd minute winner is the best feeling you can possibly get from going football, I really don’t understand why people deliberately deprive themselves of it because of unfounded paranoia about traffic. you stay and watch that’s your parogative, live and let live I say. Although I 100% disagree about the traffic.

No, No, no this is absolute dog sh1t. The pressure has finally mounted on them enough to think that they need to issue a statement. They could name the site as it has completely fallen through, for example ‘I was looking to purchase no 9 Fool road but unfortunately it has fallen through due to the fact that I’m unable to get planning permission for a giant penis statue in the garden’ simples no? This statement is as believable as flat earth theory, also like flat earth theory many of you will lap it up and believe it with statements like ‘I feel much better about our club than I did 24 hours ago’ really! surely that’s only because we won yesterday and not this pile of crap coming from the board.

Would you spend 2k on having plans drawn up for an extension on your house if you had no current funds to actually build it or no way of getting the funds? In the words of Yatton gas “it ain’t happening lads “ If I had the money to purchase the land and then go public about developing a training ground on it, then yes I most certainly would. You can't really compare a significant business project with dozens of employees and tens of thousands of supporters hanging off your words, to a private home extension, can you? But if we must, then let me say that if I had aspirations to build an extension, what I would first do is some research. Figure out how much it would cost, drawing up plans, construction costs, what sort of legalities I had to consider, planning regulations. What sort of companies would I have to call to make enquiries and to draw up plans. Research into timescales. After performing my research I would assess whether it was viable for me. This I would do all BEFORE telling every man and his dog about how amazing my extension was going to be!! It's not f**king rocket science. The owners have no justification for the cockup that is the Colony, in my opinion. boooom! There goes a truth bomb. We’re being run by people who don’t have same passion as us fans. Time for them to shape up or ship out.

I’m whole situation is a disgrace. I’d be intrigued to see if he gets interviewed by any of the media, it would be interesting to hear what he has to say. The board have to go, I know everyone says who will replace them but in my opinion they are toxic for this club. I mean for gods sake we have Hamer doing the the commentary, it’s a joke. We seem to be having all the commercial changes of a bigger club I.e less family/community orientated but with non of the benefits. We seem to be losing our identity.

I firmly believe DC has chosen to leave based on recent meeting based on our future and playing budget.
Board- No training ground, no stadium, oh and we’re reducing your playing budget.
DC- sorry guys I can’t work miracles
Get the Al Quadis out now!!!!!
Mods feel free to merge but I needed a rant.

Board are totally to blame. It’s totally clear the likes of Payne wasn’t our 123456 or 7th choice. Who the hell (decent) wants to play for a club with no training facilities, one of the worst grounds, sh** wages and no prospect. Yes DC doesn’t always get it right that’s clear from our results but if you could have an honest conversation with him he would tell you this is a sh** squad of low caliber players because that’s all that he can attracted since selling our 3 best players. We didn’t make enough on either one of them to justify not investing 100% of their fees back into the team. The board are a joke and need to start investing properly otherwise this club is done for.

oh don't be hysterical. Hardly comparable is it. No it isn't he goes home and forgets about the fans most of us have to go to work the following day and face ridicule again from the teds thank goodness I live away from bristol such a hard life, how do we ever cope with being ridiculed about a football match.

If the owners are behind this it's a good move but if it's just down to frustration of the owners by SH/TG then you have to fear nothing will come of the survey. Nice positive post Topper... Maybe its the consultants to the new stadium build doing some research before they summit their proposals to the owners All will become clear very soon It will never happen, even if the club presented shiny new plans for a mem rebuild it will never happen. We only need to take a look back at all the opposition to previous plans. It will never be built. More chance of UWE revival and that’s well and truly gone. I mean no offence to you though.

Made a mockery of that to be honest. Any chance to write anything involved sayin we need a new stadium.
Eg how do you feel the men could be improved?
Answer, knock it down, sell for housing, build new stadium.
List positives and improvements.
DC
Needs bigger budget from revenue generated by new stadium etc.
Literally on every possible question. Hope we all have done similar tbh.

Mem redevelopment will never happen. Not enough space to house the various income streams required to improve our playing budget and/or make us sustainable. Glouscester road and surrounding area is a logistical nightmare. The board need to look elsewhere. Mankind will find rocking horse sh1t before plans even get drawn up. Very similar situation at asnton gate,bloody logistical nightmare they will never be able to redevelop that ground will they? it has better transport links than Gloucester Road. They have a very rich owner who was prepared to pay for it himself. We need to make it profitable to attract outside investment, therefor we need sustainable income streams built in to the venue e.g hotel, gym restaurants, flats, conference suites, bars, club shop. All these require a larger footprint, transport links and substantial parking. If we were already in the premiership/ championship with a wealthy owner I would agree, but we’re not.

It's true, it's amazing how so many of us are still clinging on to the idea of us having a new ground. and the idea that the mem redevelopment is a viable option.

We as a fan base are the core of the club and the only significant revenue stream, we should hold any ownership accountable. Without us there is no club and we deserve more for the money we put in.

Were all just going around in circles on the subject of the owners. My take on things is that were not yet at the protest stage,in fact a protest would be an embarrassment and would not get any real support imo. There are so many doubts and issues that dont quite make sense but i think the owners should be given the chance to improve the football club without us fans making the job more difficult. We will get clues soon enough as to where were going like the january window and even the small scale work planned at the mem. Any protest right now would be against the best interests of the club in my view. I respect your view but when I say protest I don’t mean ‘Al Quadis out’ just a communication of our frustrations and worries. Your right in the sense maybe give them more time, see where we are next year. I also feel that if there is no improvement of the field we should put pressure on our ownership. At the moment I like many others feel helpless. I also believe that a lot of the fanbase don’t see the bigger picture that I tried to convey in my OP.

What chance do we have to talk to our owner? And by that I don't mean Wael, I mean DS, or whoever is in charge of finance (that certainly isn't Wael judging by Hamer's interview). Didn't we have two representatives on the board? What are they up to? Mind you I bet they couldn't pick Hani out of an identity parade. So given the lack of any sort of plan from the top and the lack of any two way dialogue between supporters and DS so we get a clear view of what is affordable and what isn't we have reached an impasse. So in principle I agree that we need to encourage Dwane Sports to be more accountable. The problem is that I don't think people care about the financial side enough to turn out in numbers for any sort of peaceful demonstration. Many seem happy just to have a club to support. I am tired of seeing this club constantly be tinpot. The owners come and go but it is the same old tired tune being played. Most of all I would love clarity on the UWE- is there still the possibility of a deal? Can it be resurrected by someone other than DS? I certainly think we have been far too passive simply accepting that it was a bad deal for the club. Who actually said it was a bad deal? This could be the best chance we will ever have for own stadium and we are letting it disappear over the horizon because our new owners who hadn't even heard of Bristol Rovers until a couple of years ago have let it get away. So yeah, great post and I really sense the frustration and care you have for the club. I feel very much the same but I really don't feel there is any major appetite from the wider fanbase to make our voices heard and strive for any change at all I agree our board or holding company won’t communicte with us directly. Imagine banners being held up on say a televised match saying something along the lines of ‘Dwayne Sports, we need significant investment, or this club will die’ or ‘We need a stadium scheme’ etcI know will never die with its current support. Imagine this every home game, the powers that Be would surely have to respond. As for the UWE I did try to avoid talking about it, but you’re right I think clarification is needed as to wether there is still a chance for it to got ahead. I for one think it’s dead and UWE are doing their own thing. I also believe as fans we are not entitled to know every detail but at the very least we should be communicated the vision for the future by our current owners, something that is currently vague and is as clear as mud.
