They didn't own Eastville , they were already at trumpton when it was built

Owned by Bristol Stadium Group I believe, which included some of their directors. They did receive insurance money for the burnt down stand, which I think was used to buy the Hambrook training ground. Which I believe, was then sold and the Beeches bought in the ownership of the Dunfords. Obviously this then became Rovers training ground which was rented to them by Dunford, rather than paying Frys to use their pitches.

They sold it years before they left ,but had too leave because they couldn't afford the rent. I think it was owned by the people who ran the greyhound racing but might have my wires crossed there. I know they were evicted in 86, i was at the last derby there 1-1 i think. Dog racing still went on for a few years after the rent boys left.

Sold in somewhat dodgy deal (typical ). Think the mafia has a more ethical trading history!

I'm sure that there is a bed of roses already in the Blackthorn End as I have heard people say that it's full of pricks.

Are you talking about this feeble attempt at a ‘trophy cabinet?’

What did they do with the ikea monies and how much did they get? Was it enough at the time for a new stadium? what about the Nigel Martin monies? That was huge at the time? Run by crooks as always it seems

Don't forget, Hayles, Stewart and Ellington.  They all left for big money back in the day.

And more recently Matty Taylor. Wasn't he apparently valued at several million?? How did that work out for them?

I thought they would have sold off everything that they didn’t need.

I’m a bit disappointed that the interview background board isn’t done in crayon. 

Maybe things aren’t as bad as we all thought..?!

Just read their wiki(god help my internet history) they’ve had a lot of grounds, pikeys!! I know of 3, is very odd why they’ve never settled down, strange club inside and out

4 Alex, Eastville, Trumpton, the mem and (shamefully) they played a few home games at Ashton Gate. 

IF they do find any cash to tart up the dump, I hope SL / MA tell them to fark off if they ask to use our place again! They wouldn't pay anyway so just say 'no' after they've stopped laughing.

Maybe the paint by numbers backdrop is away at another convention. I think it was last seen at UWE.

Next up; 

Bizarrely, no game! After getting knocked out of the F.A.Cup in the 1st round (again) the lunatics who run the asylum over there decided to move tonights fixture at home to Rotherham to Saturday 2nd December. Now, if they've done it to avoid clashing with tonight's home game at Ashton Gate, they have ****ed up because we are also at home on 2nd December. Maybe they've done it to attract a bigger away following? Rotherham? I doubt it.

So it means that every other team in League One is playing tonight and if results go against the blue few they could be seriously close to the drop zone come 10 o'clock.

15		Oldham Athletic	17	6	3	8	30	36	-6	21
16		Bristol Rovers	18	7	0	11	26	33	-7	21
17		Doncaster Rovers	18	5	5	8	19	21	-2	20
18		Walsall	17	4	7	6	21	25	-4	19
19		AFC Wimbledon	18	5	4	9	14	20	-6	19
20		Gillingham	18	4	6	8	14	21	-7	18
21		Northampton Town	18	5	3	10	15	30	-15	18
22		Rochdale	17	3	8	6	17	22	-5	17
23		Plymouth Argyle	18	3	5	10	13	28	-15	14
24		Bury	18	3	4	11	18	28	-10	13

I also heard on Saturday right from the horses mouth that these agreements meant the existing contractors were being paid £1000k per week from BRFC not from DS because DS don’t even have a bank account. And that’s part of the problem. You need money to open an bank account.  In fact the horses mouth also said that it’s not been £1k a week more like every 3 weeks but he has nearly been paid in full now. 

Also heard that Hani will only give £2m to build the training complex when we need more like 10m. That came from the architects doing to the drawings and plans. Basically £2m will get us 2 pitches and a set of changing rooms built and that’s about it. There is no running gas water or electric to the site so most of the £2m would be spent in just basic ground works alone. Not to worry we are rich I remember the bloke on you tube telling us so must be.

Whether this is the far eastern way of trying to do a deal or what but the more I hear the more it becomes clear that Wael has absolutely no control of what money comes into the club from his big senasable  brother.

The BRFC training ground with no running gas. How ironic.

I know a Rotherham fan who is reet pissed off with them for moving this one. She had a ticket for tonight and can't make the rematch.

She doesn't appreciate just how lucky she is. Camping at this time of year is never fun.

Hayles, Stewart, Ellington and Martyn left over a period of time for a combined total of £5.4m.....which back then was a huge amount of money.

The big question is......where did a lot of that money disappear to?
