This is some different level of delusion. What they should have done, was not remove the old stand until they had planning sorted for the new one. Not that the planning application has been heard yet, anyway. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no update / progression of the ‘fruition’ of the Fruitihad they just announce plans for a Meccano South Stand and start flogging tickets and the Sags just lap it all up, forgetting all about the Fruitihad and if it will EVER happen. They’re not even questioning what the actual F is going on?! Then they get in some ageing pros and a controversial woman beater because he’s going cheap and then when the South Stand runs into planning problems they announce that they are after JCH (without any intention of actually seeing it through) to divert Sags from planning a Tote End Aggro assault on any Green Party Member who by default is now a Gurt Ted intent on preventing their progression at all costs. They just can’t see it and they just refuse to believe it and yet the shit fest is happening almost daily. They are now creating 150 page threads where they almost believe it and then someone pipes up with how unfaithful they are and round and round in circles they go. The dumb ####wits!

I don’t think their ground is suitable to stage any matches at league standard until they resolve this. If they have to switch games to the second half of the season or play home ones at Forest Green or Cheltenham then tough. Their stand shambles is pretty hilarious but this isn’t, they have I understand struggled to comply with the minimum seats for league football rule & initially offered Barnsley no seats for those with disabilities, not sure how (if?) they got around this one but it really isn’t acceptable. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can plan all you want to get what you want done in a month or two but in reality when you come to execute, things get delayed.' Plan all you want to? Or just not bother? Things get delayed; that's where he went wrong. . . Its, "these things take time" that's the correct answer for someone who fudges everything & hasn't got a scoobie about what he's doing.

Numero Uno Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 In summary then - a developer offers to build them a 17-20K stadium and Wael of Fortune says yes because back then they were probably a Non-League or struggling fourth division outfit. Win a few games in the Third Division and it's now "we want 28K to beat they gurt sheeds init". Unfortunately the developer, who is a bit more switched on than pretty much all of their fanbase, realises that building a large stadium rather than a modest and realistic one will decrease the number of houses and whatever else they were putting on the site. This is the unfortunate bit, large stadiums take up MORE LAND and as fanciful as it sounds (to a Fewer anyway) that has quite a dramatic effect on the Viability side of the development calculation. I'm guessing Conygre, trying to be pragmatic and keep the deal alive, have said "if you want this big stadium and we're going to lose £20m off our viability are you going to pay us £20m to cover it?". For some odd reason all you could see was burning rubber and a loud screeching noise coming from the Car Park with the subsequent announcement that talks seem to now broken down...................... If that was us btw it would be the most massive of massive front page headlines ever written by the BEP. "The Shitheads FAIL in their stadium dream, have that you bastards" or something like that anyway. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 At the risk of stating the blindingly obvious, they are going to develop the Mem one stand at a time over many years, aren’t they? The advantage is it’s their ground already & in the area where a lot of their support is based (North Bristol), plus they must have the capability of making that funny stand that backs on to the car park & only occupies part of one of the sides a lot bigger, but that bit is going to be extremely expensive. Disadvantages are it will take a very long time, require plenty of money to do even the most minor upgrade & it is highly unlikely that at the end of this (if they ever manage it) they’ll have a ground holding much more than 15,000.

Super Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 To be honest with 3400 in the new stand, the potential for at least 5000 in a redeveloped Thatchers end and 1800 in the West / East stands that gives us 10000 seats and approx 3000 standing left on the sides - good enough unless we hit the championship at which point rebuild the East.

Popular Post petehinton Posted September 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2023 Let me get this straight… They teased fans about a new stadium, produced a high quality filmed video about the move and area etc, and had said that talks were going well. They never actually agreed on… The size of the stadium The capacity of the stadium The area of the site it would take up The cost of it all How it’ll be funded How the revenue share will work What in gods name did they actually agreed on then? I actually feel sorry for their fans for the first time ever. Amateur doesn’t even cover it.

They never actually agreed on… The size of the stadium The capacity of the stadium The area of the site it would take up The cost of it all How it’ll be funded How the revenue share will work What in gods name did they actually agreed on then? I actually feel sorry for their fans for the first time ever. Amateur doesn’t even cover it. It’s basically the same as inviting friends and family over for a house warming in your new house, when you haven’t even viewed it yet, let alone bought it, you just like the look of the Rightmove listing. I don't feel sorry for many of them. I know a few sound Gasheads but they are in a tiny minority. Loads of the fookers have come out of the woodwork in the last eighteen months, people you have known for years and never mentioned Da Gas once and you know they are really genuine Gas because they spout plenty of bullshit, plenty of bluster, the type that boast "at least we can sell out" when there are less than 8K in the ground and, as always, have NOTHING to show for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gert Mare Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 ******* clowns the lot of them. Including their ******* fans! I bet the Fruitihad collapse is all down to the ******* Shitheads! Deluded *****! BR brfclown16 MIN AGO As a Rovers supporter, watching the Stadium Saga continually descend into chaos at every attempt (i've lost count of the false dawns), I'm starting to believe the Board of directors is made up of Bozo the Clown, Oleg Popov, Joseph Grimaldi and Krusty the Clown. I'm of the same opinion as PeterdeMeteor when he says "I'll believe it when I'm sat in it" , which is a phrase I've become accustomed to repeating far too often. Same applies to the absolute mess of the transfer deadline day and the recent South Stand planning issue..how can the so called professional people responsible for running a football club manage to mess things up on such a regular basis? I now truly believe there is no ambition for anything at Rovers. Its a non stop parade of hope and disappointment with the odd prospect of light at the end of the tunnel dangled like the proverbial carrot on a stick to keep the suckers buying season tickets in the vain hope believing that one day..just maybe they will actually do something rather than float up n down between divisions 3 and 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open End Numb Legs Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Back a few months ago when they applied for planning permission I thought this would entertain us up until around the start of the new season. I was wrong. If this is a negotiation tactic, I guess the next meeting won't be going so well. Sounds like the only thing agreed on in the first meetings was which biscuits to have with the coffee? (Custard creams for me BTW). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Wally is probably on the phone as I type to his favourite coach hire company.... Wally: Yeah, done it again. Dropped the ball and I think the fans are going to get a bit annoyed, can you rent me a vehicle, I need to buy them off with some free travel. Coach Company: executive style, reasonably local so you can take as many as possible, we can offer you up to twenty coaches! Wally: Err, Wednesday night, Pappa John's trophy, local game. Minibus. Just the one..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I don't believe the Gas have intent towards a new stadium. If they did they should have made a huge play a few years back for the land adjacent to Gypsy Patch Lane and the A38 where the Village hotel and gym, plus a number of car showrooms now stand. Easy access to the motorway, a local rail station and on a bus route would have made it ideal. They could even have used Stoker's as their pub. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Although there are some sensible people on the Rovers’ forum who realise how shambolic the club is, there are still a lot who are totally deluded - e.g. “I think we knew that Wael and co were hard bargainers after the UWE collapse. That's a good thing, we want a good deal for the club ultimately.” How can anyone believe the UWE and Fruit Market stadiums have fallen through because of Wael’s negotiating skills? They’ve fallen through because, as always, Rovers don’t want to spend any money. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 It goes to show just how irrelevant the Fewers are when their new stadium deal collapsing isn't the top story in the Post. The fact that Cribbs is getting a Greggs is deemed bigger news. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
