The answer to that question is - they're too dumb to see what is right in front of them. I work in a school, and we had 2 old "temporary" buildings which had been there for 20+ years. We were told by the local authority that they were building us a brand new state of the art building to house both rooms in one building, within the next 2 years. Those 2 old buildings needed so many things doing to them, but we didn't put any money into them - unless it was something essential like new locks or a water heater - because they were being knocked down within 2 years. If they're spending more money on the existing pit, even if it's temporary, there is nothing in the pipeline that is remotely serious about a new ground. Also, why increase the capacity, when you're barely hitting the current (reduced) capacity in the first place? All lip service to keep the happy few on side. They're just too stupid to realise, even after all this time. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean what developer would pass up the opportunity to grab the mem site valued at £20m, and only have to spend north of £60m to build this premier ready facility in exchange............. it's a no brainer innit?

Gazred Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 It all just comes back to the same issue, they want a free stadium with a huge lease so the annual rent is as cheap as possible. Practically free in other words, they don't have a pot to piss in. Which investors are happy to wait 50-100 years for a return on their investment. They could build anything else you would expect on a site like that and make a profit almost instantly. It's not even a pipe dream, it's just pie in the sky.

So by his logic, a team getting 8,000 in an 11,000 capacity 'stadium' has better support then a team getting 21,000 in a 26,500 capacity stadium. It's standard #gaslogic at it's finest. It's a very similar logic to when they claim that their away support is amazing 'as a percentage of their home support ' which only goes to highlight how bad their home support is. I will give it to Wally (and the convict too) though, they certainly understand the 15ers fanbase, and play to their delusions on a regular basis. 5 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s exactly what it means & is completely misleading. If Hillsborough can accommodate 30,000 & 25,000 people turn up that’s obviously far better than having a ground which holds 10,000 & 9,000 turn up, but not in his world apparently.

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) All the Gas need to remember about their supposedly massive and loyal support is that they’ve lowered the capacity of the Mem (which was already a small stadium) and they STILL never fill it. 47 minutes ago, elhombrecito said: It's a very similar logic to when they claim that their away support is amazing 'as a percentage of their home support ' which only goes to highlight how bad their home support is.

Open End Numb Legs Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 If Rovers want to lease it they will need to convince the developers that they are a going concern. If they went bust or back to non league an empty stadium is no use to anyone, hence the thorny issue of capital and whether it would ever get built. A more solid bet for the developers is an indoor arena with a wide variety of potential customers rather than a single loss making sports club.

Or they’re going to have to rip it up. You can’t bully people in the Champ. They’re only successful because they’ve stockpiled better players.” Bloke who has managed Fleetwood & Roverrz is now giving clubs miles above them who are about 3 or 4 times as big his advice. He has to be the least self aware manager in the league & the Post lets him spout this deluded shite without ever challenging a single word he says. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time a new stadium is built for Rovers the majority of their fanbase will have left this Earth, and there isn't many more people left to come through the turnstiles, they are way too late to the party.

The Constant Rabbit Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 It genuinely scary how stupid they are. The chairman has literally just told them that they will NOT own a ground anywhere for the rest of their existence (which won't be very long after this)....... Gasheads - when your Chairman is telling you that your club will be LEASING a ground - it means you will not own it. The carnival barker will sell the Mem (are you listening you thick Pikeys) PRIOR to 'leasing' the 'new stadium' - and guess what Gasheads? That means you are homeless the SECOND that lease runs out - why? ** Drum roll** - because your dodgy owner DOES NOT HAVE ANY MONEY!!! The FM will 'fall over' - probably in less than 1 year after you sell the Mem to developers. Wael (he's such a nice man) - will then announce that in the rush 'to get Rovers to the Prem' he overlooked the fact that the initial lease on the Mem was 24 months - or had a clause that it was 'for sale to any buyer with an offer over XYZ' Then Gasheads - THIS will happen......... 1) Sell ground to developers. 2) Keep sale proceeds in his own bank account 3) Terminate lease 4) Announce (from the safety of the Middle-East) that he still has 'outstanding debts' which weren't covered by his lien on the Stadium, so any players of value have to be sold. 5) Rovers grovel for a ground-share, with a threadbare squad and no assets (even the 'club shop' has been flogged!) 6) Rovers get relegated 7) Rovers get relegated again out the League Bristol Rovers FC are liquidated, and sold to Joey Barton for a quid. 8 ) Rover are relocated to Tranmere and called 'Tranmere Rovers' 9) Wally sits back in the ME, cashed up,sipping a pimms with Joeybag, and toasts to 'A job Well Done' 1 - 7 are inevitable, 8 + 9 are wishful thinking. Make no mistake Gasheads - your club will fold within 5 years if this goes ahead. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could barely get a wink of sleep last night for worrying about them coming for us. I had this churning feeling in my stomach all night. Or it might have been the cheese and pickle sandwich I had just before going to bed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it is built (and I actually think it will be) it’ll be smaller with zero history and owned by outside company. Sounds plastic to me. Not sure why we’re supposed to be “twitchy” about that? Still, Gasheads bragging about things that haven’t happened yet….”it’s what they do” D1ckheads.

I do however remember a Fewer describing them as the Barcelona of League Two. Shortly before they got relegated out of the football league. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted April 22, 2023 Admin Share Posted April 22, 2023 I'm guessing the Barcelona reference comes from Bristol Sport mentioning being like Barcelona in having multiple sports under one umbrella, but too difficult for those cueless clunts to work out 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
