fgrsimon Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I liked the way that twice when talking about the 'training ground' being ready, he said "Septem...umm...July 2019". So there's a 3 month delay already! That state of the art 'Training Complex' has very quickly become 1 full size pitch and 3 smaller ones with no mention of any other facilities at all. That visit to see Fleetwood's facilities must have been very enlightening:- "This is fantastic, just what we want, so how much did it cost?" "8 Million quid" "Bugger that for a game of soldiers" It should also be asked that, given it's now just 4 pitches, why the hell is the planning permission still dragging on and on? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could borrow that amount against their main asset. Doh..! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippycar Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Hamer said that UWE refused to go to Jordan in January and "who knows what might have happened if they had" So deal collapsed, just because of this! Why the **** should the powers that be at UWE have to travel thousands of miles (no doubt at their expenses) to Jordan to discuss a development in Bristol and a couple of hundred yards - OK perhaps a mile, from their own administrative HQ? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the building costs and then hearing that the academies lose over a million a year as well made them think - nope, nope, nope how about we get some rollers, seed and just create a few training pitches for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashton is a dump, you could do what you want down there and no one will object, The Mem is a far more challenging site for lots of reasons. And landsdown is an individual happy to waste his money, whatever you think of the Al Qadis they are very different characters.’ Ashton is a dump? What a cock. Used to be a bit run down, in the 80s and early 90s when his shit team used actually visit every year but in the last 2 decades it’s become a very desirable area for house buyers. In reality, you can bet your life that the Saghead who wrote that would LOVE to have a genuinely wealthy owner ‘wasting’ his money on the Gas, building a fantastic stadium like AG that gets complimented by every set of visiting fans. Showing off a new 10k seater stand instead of a tiny, ridiculous tent like structure. They deserve owners like the Al Qadis the same as they deserved to sleep walk into Non League. Even if they they ended up back there you’d still get their d1ck heads saying “I’d rather we did it this way and not the way Lansdown has done it”.

cidercity Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Just listened to the whole hour, is it me or doesHamer really not have a clue what is going on, also thought it was telling when asked if there was any enthusiasm for the mem and leper colony revamp he only mentioned himself,wally and dopey not Hani or old man Wacky.

zippycar Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) Is it just me, but the more Hamer speaks about Wael, the more he sounds like he is describing George, The Prince of Wales in Blackadder the third?

Sorry Cotswold me old babber, I've got to pull you on this. I'm an ex Bemmie boy and Ashton was the promised land. I know there are the flats on Duckmoor Road and some terraced housing locally but I am struggling to consider either of these as 'unpleasant'. Home is home and I'm sure that the local residents - of all properties - would not consider their area as 'really quite unpleasant'. Interested to hear your slant on it fellow Red. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
