Bristol R*vers dustbin thread

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. 

They need someone else to pay for it

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.

 

It goes to show it isn't really "news".

It seems an opportune time to bring this back out!

[BCFC11]

Or blame it on the locals 

 

This screams of local residents at BS7 stirring sh** to fight the modest development of the North stand.

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.

Stadium been a distraction for years ..... would rather see progress on the pitch.

Now it’s

“Team team team but they forgot about the ground….”

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. 

They just don’t want to believe it.

So they’ll just carry on blaming Shitheads for everything.

Goodnight Irene.

Ok, I admit, getting a soggy custard creme into your mouth is not easy. Takes years of practice, training, dedication and ideally you need access to a clean shirt afterwards. Sounds impossible but it can be done.

Good luck to you all.

[1960maaan]

So they had a chance at the UWE,  12 years ago. That one they wouldn't have owned and UWE would have taken a cut in revenue. 
They didn't like that as money from the Mem would have been their input into the ground.
The Fruit-i-had , they wouldn't have owned ( long lease ) and CONYGAR would have had a share in revenue. 
The sale of the Mem going towards the build . 
So that sounds the same to me , only they would have been in years ago.

Now they are going to redecorate the Mem, which they could have started 10 years ago . 

absolute shambles FC ?

They've been building up stocks of their championship ready seats for a while, only need another 24,900 !

Waiting for the asschat reaction posts

In my lifetime I believe this is the 5th false dawn for them, 500k to be part of the process tops it off nicely.

Do they still have their London office?

Bloody Hell!!! I thought this was coming when they started the new stand, but now it's actually happened, I can't stop laughing

When is that? I think we need to repost that article from a few pages back that was from the mid 60s, in case some of their younger fans think that this kind of flim flam is something new in their history.

There’s more talk of the fruti falling through on here than on ass chat , did they know deep down it was never a goer, they just seem to except everything 

[Silvio Dante]

This is my favourite comment on their forum so far:

“Yes Susan I didn’t take you to Spain but we’ve got a caravan. And it’s not a motor home, it’s a proper static one”

[Open End Numb Legs]

Latest is they didn't really like the brand spanking 25k fruityhad idea in the 1st place:-

Let’s just rebuild the Mem. Old school stadiums are much more “romantic” anyway. Out of town bowls are boring.

[formerly known as ivan]

I see what’s happened here, ”capacity between 17k-20k”…

Well done to the R*vers board for realising that this is no where near big enough and it would leave thousands of disappointed Sags outside the gates every home game.

I don’t doubt for one second they will soon be back with plans for a 75k mega stadium and I for one can’t wait to see the promotional video they release before even discussing this with absolutely anyone they need to!

There surely has to come a point soon when they realise Wally and his new friends are absolute charlatans, and all they are is a property deal gone wrong with owners playing for time ever since. No serious club has the amount of cock ups they have, and no serious businessmen would allow that level of cock ups.

Theres being gullible but their fanbase just abuse the privilege

Ironic that the Mem is further out of town than Bristol City FC, Bristol Bears RFC and even than a club who represent a different county, Glos CCC

[TheReds]

I'm wondering if Wally has done a bit of a brown envelope business deal with the developers, he then sells the majority of his shares to some gullible bloke on the "nearly completed stadium deal" that will bring them untold fortunes, and then bang, "sorry pal, I cannot believe it's fell through".

Well, we know it works. Wasn't that the situation when he came in ?

 

[Jose]

Couldn't agree more, and apart from the 6 fingered inbreds I doubt anyone else has that much of an opinion of us anyway, other than they tend to think we have great support when we go away.
 

They just can’t stop can they…….

[steviestevieneville]

Let’s not forget. In a interview with Geoff two zero man , Wally said. We’re looking at two years until it’s finished (paraphrasing ) that was 3 or 4 years ago

This has really cheered me up though it’s hardly a surprise is it? The mind boggles trying to think of their next bit of entertainment .

Oh yes, the romance of having to piss in a chemical toilet with no light or running water.

I'll bet the ladies must be flocking to the Mem for a chance to wave at some spanner in piss-splattered days, waxing lyrical about the wholesome beauty of their surroundings.

They released an announcement video for it ffs. £500k to be part of a 12 month review process. ******* hell. It just never ends does it.

To be fair the half a mil was Conygar Investments taking an option on the site, Rovers were just a possible tenant, quite possible Conygar (market value of £60m) has found better ways to make money off the land that doesn't involve a club that can't sell out a 10k ramshackle ground in Filton. In other news here's Conygar share price this year - Rovers did all their PR for piggybacking the Conygar deal in April.
