Barrs Court Red Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 New training ground. Ground will be built to the same spec as previously advertised, apart from changes to the configuration inside.

"negotiations ongoing" "progress being made". Why are they still in negotiations - if Sainsburys had paid up years ago they would have started immediately. Why not now? Sounds a lot like bluster and bluff to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, year and years of nothing but hot air, and their fans lap it up, when they left Eastville they spouted nothing but hot air and still they're spouting the same hot air. In the hot air stakes they would give Cameron balloons a run for their money. Still at least it give them another reason to claim we are jealous of them, I can imagine the chant now whispering out of the blackthorn tent " are you watching ashton gate, we got more hot air than you".

This new owner of yours hasn't wiped off your Wonga debts to stay put at the Mem when it makes no money for him. Interesting to read on Slagchat today (the forum where they constantly accuse us of being obsessed but never, ever mention City themselves) the morons dedicated most of their thread about this 'announcement' to w@n king over the thought that you might get a bigger stadium than us. Absolutely hilarious, I genuinely couldn't give a toss if your new stadium is bigger than AG...in fact, I hope it'll be huge because if we struggle to fill a 27k AG, how the hell are you going to fill something bigger when you only sold 26k tickets for arguably the most important game in your clubs history?

I am no expert but I would imagine it will be because the Return on Investment (ROI) would be very low if any at all especially in the first few years. There would be no ROI whilst it was being built and from what we can see, it would appear it would take almost all of whatever free cash he has, or it would mean cashing in his current investments to raise the cash. I don't think any business man would do that unless, like SL, it was only a small percentage of their overall wealth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 All this talk of a new stadium, here's a great idea, why don't they just pitch up I mean relocate to Swindle as they have so much in common, but they have a lovely stadium all ready to move in on. They could put their blue & white tarpaulin roof on in the corner of the Stratton bank and call it home, there's plenty of capacity for both sets of fans, perfect.

reddogkev Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Am I the only one a little disappointed Rovers haven't signed anyone for a fair chunk of money yet? I hoped they might just threaten to become a rival again - sometimes it is so tedious being the dominant team in a large city, without any competition whatsoever, dating back as long as I can remember. Sigh, I guess City will never have anyone local to truly challenge them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Not sure if this has been mentioned before but, I think they are now definitely trying to involve the local authority. There have been a few references to how good this will be to the South Glos area and discussions with the local council. If I was a resident of South Glos I'd be posing questions to my council officers and councillors. Typical of this club to try and get somebody else to supply them with the stadium "they deserve". They tried it with BCC in the nineties and even formed their own political party to fight against BCC at the local elections, in an attempt to force the council to get them their ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
