They multiply it by the amount of banning orders they have and then divide it by the number of players they`ve racially abused.

And again by the number of months sentenced for boob cricket to the power of horses abused?

It's their level really. We know it. They don't. They think they are one of the biggest clubs in Europe, with a massive away following (because no one can bear to watch em in their stolen cess pit)

I see they have pulled the  "Fake Sheik" thread on asschat because it was offensive. Offensive to who? The original News of the World fake sheik?  :ph34r:

Because the closed shop that is asschat won't have a bad word said about the asset stripper . It's ok to racially abuse people though , apparently

Exactly what is bugging me. If correct who are the mates and what is the UWE masterplan?  The only team that can fill a barn that big around here is Bath Rugby who have made no secret of the limitations of the Rec but would they really leave Bath? 
 
Move the thinking away from one big stadium. How about a 'complex' involving a small stadium for Women's football, and an Indoor Arena that would house Basketball, table tennis and Badminton, and that can also be used as a 'Bristol Arena' for music. Who are the mates? Well, a certain Rosy Cheeked Fecker was given an Honorary Doctorate (or something) for the financial advice he has given to the UWE, plus the UWE have recently started using the conference facilities at trashton. It's just a small step to put 2 and 2 and 2 together and come up with the amount of fingers on my right hand

Changing the topic slightly but I see that Poplar Insulation is sponsoring one of their stands, bit of a strange one as the owners are massive City fans, I'll have to ask them what their game is when I see them next!

They are sponsoring their South Stand,..to be called the Poplar Insulation South Stand........The abbreviation to be in large letters on the roof....................it's not only Wally that's taking the piss!

Sponsoring the East Stand - Poplar Insulation East Stand - although, sadly the pies these days leave a lot to be desired.

Why do Rovers fans use the acronym FTG?

Unionists in Northern Ireland use FTP to mean F(obscenity) The Pope, so surely FTG simply replaces the Pope with the Gas?

I thought it was this forum auto correcting it to catch people out but haven't tested it.  Here we go then:

FTG (FTG)

FTG (F T G)

 

Edit: yes, the first one said U and this was replaced even when spaced out.

My uncle works as a grounds man on that Weston field. Word on the street is that most of the travellers had close links to the Bristol Rovers 1st team. 4 of the players were on sight at the time of the protest drinking cheap Cider. I'm a huge gas head and this is not right.

Gasheads on tour at Weston Super Mare saw this on the evil post website a comment on moving travelers off a playing field (Clarence Park). Maybe this is plan B to find/steal a new ground.

I saw that quote, it just comes across as more bullshit from the gas, they seem to have got to the stage where they can't just say something as it is, and need to lie/distort/embellish their statements 'cos they feel they need to constantly pull the wool over peoples eyes.

The club have released a statement about their proposed new training facilities at Almondsbury, which might get category 2 status and will be known as the "Colony". Probably where colonic irrigation will take place, to remove the shyte.

The statement is in response to questions asked in various quarters (probably the world famous quarters) about what the hell is happening.

The answer is:  "**** all is happening". They are still supposedly waiting for a response from the council about their proposals.

That's it then!                                BLAME THE COUNCIL.

Is there an indication that the Al Qadis are? Or is that just more Cider Special?
 
Complete assumption on my part.

I do believe there is a difference between a rich man jizzing his cash away and a family of investment bankers who are doing feasibility studies and evolving rather than revolutionising.

Pantsdown is bankrolling them and building what ever he likes because he feels like it.

Do you see no difference in the 2 Bristol club owners?
 

This is correct.

The difference is...unless SL leaves a big dollop of cash for BCFC1982LTD. in his will they will have no sustainable business model to take them forward in the future.

It could be 1982 all over again for the robins.

The Al Qadis are seemingly building the club so it can sustain itself and therefore will not need a sugar daddy to constantly pour money into it.

Potentially BRFC have a better long term future under the current two regimes.

So they've gone from telling us that SL is going to piss off any day now and leave City in the financial shit to "unless SL leaves a big dollop of cash in his will" blah, blah blah.

Is SL not trying to implement a sustainable business model then?

What about Jon Lansdown?

The morons would be better off questioning the commitment of the AlQs and their own finances instead of touching themselves thinking about when SL dies.

Wally must be posting on asschat now! Pass around the begging bowl  :facepalm:

A message to the Fan's directors. Could it be feasible to have a means of donating to a fund so that Supporters may have a specific goal of assisting the re-development of the Mem. Those of us who live away from Bristol or who are just not able to attend games may wish to donate.

Older Supporters may well remember the times when a large bin was carried around The Greyhound track so that the crowd could throw coins into. I don't remember who benefitted from this money and I don't propose the same method should be employed today, however, Electronic deposit terminals could be installed at convenient locations around the ground to accept cash and this could be linked to a running total display for all to see. Regular or variable donations could be carried out from individual 's bank accounts at any time. The fund would have to be protected to ensure it served its purpose

But, but, Mr Wally is the saviour for all Gash-heads, he's a billionaire, gonna build them a 100,000 all seater for when they reach the Prem and overtake them Ted's didn't you know? Evolution not Revolution blah, blah, blah.

Dear oh dear; it'll be bring your own plastic chair and bucket to piss in next.

The £10m security charge in the men will be fully utilised by the end of the season and Dwane Sports are charging 6% interest on their secured loan when a typical charge for a property secured loan at present is more like 3.5%.

So the position by the end of the season if the club doesn't get sold is:

Assets: Memorial Ground £11m

Debts: Dwane Sports £10m fully secured upon the ground.  Plus small unsecured overdraft (<£0.5m).

Net assets: theoretical £0.5m but you couldn't secure anything upon that £1m as the Loan To Value ratio will be too high.

So with no money, £600k annual interest costs, ?£1.3m annual losses before interest the whole thing runs straight into the buffers.

Wael will be knocking on Dunford Jr's door to ask him to take on the club and £10m debt for a £1 as that way he stands a chance of getting his £10m back, a fire sale liquidation won't realise the full amount from the sale of the ground.

Tick tick tick, nine months left to find a buyer.  Good luck with that given that Higgs had to travel to Jordan to find a buyer last time when the club had millions in assets and the possibility of a new stadium.

Maybe Kim Jong Un fancies taking on some sporting ambition.

So, SL, a self made billionaire off the back of a career in financial and investment services is apparently unaware of feasibility studies, financial sustainability and succession planning. There's me thinking that investing his millions into the ground, infrastructure, management, training facilities would allow the club to slowly but surely become financially sustainable through success on the field and daily, weekly income streams off it.

It's remarkable....nay, staggering that SL did not take a leaf out of the book of the Dunford/Higgs/Al Qadis school of financial management where such shrewd financial decisions has meant;

  • not owning a home since 1986 before screwing the local rugby club out of their ground,
  • treating said rugby club so poorly that they ultimately move out of the mem, losing the sags valuable income streams,
  • selling several players on multi-million pound deals during 80/90s yet the club record fee paid out of £400k was 25 years ago, where did all that money go?, 
  • allowing the club to get relegated to non-league without a subsequent financial plan,
  • signing up to a non-watertight contract with Sainsburys then taking Sainsburys to court over said non-watertight contract to argue at great expenses that it was water-tight,
  • 'Surprisingly' losing the case and having to pay costs which were covered by taking out a Wonga loan,
  • not having the financial streams to cover the loan and on-going cost of running club,
  • going into partnership with UWE knowing that you could not be owners of the stadium,
  • purchasing the club after being sold the "dream" before realising the previous incumbent had sold you down the river,
  • attempting to re-negotiate with UWE and carrying out feasibility studies at great expense even though you know you cant afford it,
  • pulling out of the only possible chance you had of a new stadium to go for the option of redeveloping the mem even though you have no asset to sell, funds to pay for it or planning in place to develop it 
  • continuing to lose money hand over fist every week, month, year as you have no income streams outside of 23 home matches

I'm sure there are other gems of financial prudence from the blue few that I've forgotten about, suffice to say, yet again, they are talking out of their arse.......

A message to the Fan's directors. Could it be feasible to have a means of donating to a fund so that Supporters may have a specific goal of assisting the re-development of the Mem. Those of us who live away from Bristol or who are just not able to attend games may wish to donate.

Older Supporters may well remember the times when a large bin was carried around The Greyhound track so that the crowd could throw coins into. I don't remember who benefitted from this money and I don't propose the same method should be employed today, however, Electronic deposit terminals could be installed at convenient locations around the ground to accept cash and this could be linked to a running total display for all to see. Regular or variable donations could be carried out from individual 's bank accounts at any time. The fund would have to be protected to ensure it served its purpose

Tinpot and Bin Dippers now! They are absolute comedy platinum!

My oh my!  

If you were generous (and for ease of maths) and said they get 10,000 every home game, and all 10,000 donated £1 to the cause, that would be £10,000 per match, 23 league home games gives you £230,000 a season.

To fund the £45m rebuild we have just had using this funding method would, by my maths, take 195 seasons, by which point we will be flying about on hover boards, up to our ears in flux capacitors and the cost of the build will be 45,000,000,000,000,000!

Crack on boys!

Without quoting @RedRaw and the valid points made, they did overlook the fact that after all those near misses with loans, watertight contracts, failed stadium builds and under investment in the first team, they DO have championship read sprinklers.

So they haven't wasted every penny.

they also leak

Unless you're wooshing me somehow, Tom wasn't complaining about the link being posted, it's his website I believe so was being genuine :P
