I've said this many times but with the way retail currently is and the emphasis on smaller convenience stores rather than larger stores I can see Sainsburys pulling out of this. On that thread they seem to think Sainsburys would be in favour of this store rather than in a back water town. I'm not so sure as they have a store a mile down Filton Avenue already so in this case a back water town would take preference. Now NLBR are no longer a lesgue club there is no need for them to move. They already have a stadium that is fit for Conference football, it will be one of the better stadiums in the conference. They do not have the finance in place to cover the shortfall in funding and I can see them and Sainsburys making a mutual agreement to terminate the contract.

Can anyone tell me if the remaining 50 percent was sold for 2 million instead of 10k would the rugby club still have had the same problems? The biggest problem to me seems to be Holmes? As owner of the rugby club of course he also oened the ground but to me it seems he stole the ground from the rugby club to get his money back and was then made a president at the sags. Ok maybe legally correct but morally wrong.

Haha what would happen is you would own that room then when your struggling financially they will stealbhalf of it but when your problems get worse they will steal the other half of your room for peanuts.any items of any value in your room they will also sell.

hahaha threatening me with solicitors oh dear how sad. Just going by what your own fans have said.

Let's cut the crap, the rugby club were in trouble and you took advantage of that to gain ownership of the site. Didn't you also try and do the same to us in 82? So you have form for it. Dunford then pocketed the money from the housing. Remember around the same time you sold some players for high value and Dunford put that into his bank account also.

Not forced but they hardly had a choice did they? Sell the ground and remain tennents or go bust. I'm just annoyed that you picked up the ground for peanuts and now you are selling it for 20 odd million. It's dirty money in my book as you stole the ground. You may remember what you did with Bris you also tried doing with us in 82! Your club is a rotten club and will steal and cheat as it suits you. Remember before the 2nd leg where you called a game off on the saturday, despite the rain you failed to cover up the pitch and in fact you even had the sprinklers on the pitch! Cheats!

God someone got out of bed the wrong side this morning! Touched a nerve have I? Anyways you still havn't answered my question, Have you swapped the naming rights for 125 years for a lease of the land for 125 years? Estimates I've read on here value the land at 8 million, spread over 125 years that's 64k a year roughly and you wont ever see a penny of that.

You think it will be an improvement but if I was you I would rather stay at the memorial ground. Good location with Glos Road nearby, a traditional stadium where you can stand and the pasties as top notch. Unfortunatly your new stadium will be completely stripped down and built on the cheap and will be a souless bowl and once again you wont even own it! You didn't answer my previous question about the naming rights, to me it looks as if you have swapped the naming rights for 125 years for a lease on the land for 125 years. You got a bum deal there if that's the case. I'm sure UWE will also enjoy the free teaching space on offer that you wont make a penny on!

5 minutes maybe if there was a direct path in a straight line. Tell you what next time your on one of your power walks you video it and put it on youtube, then we will know who is right but you wont do that cos you know your wrong. The point is the area is congested enough, adding a football stadium into it is just madness imo. Unlike your stadium a lot of City fans do live close by to the ground. This traffic you mention in Bemmy is a myth. I can easily leave the ground at the final whistle walk 5 mins to my car and then be on the portway within 5 mins. Yes there is traffic but it's hardly ever gridlock apart from maybe a sell out but around by our ground there is plenty of places to grab a drink and food etc so the fans arriving is more staggard than it will be at yours.

Call me a tradionalist but I would much rather have a pint in the lions etc than drink at a football stadium. For away fans it will be a dump of a stadium to visit, if you come to AG you can get off the train at BTM and enjoy our City as we are only a few miles down the road from the centre, that always adds a few onto away support at the gate, they wont get that at UWE as there is nothing around there of any interest. Personally i'm dreading evening games. Being realistic the sags are likely to get around 10k a game, the ring road around by the MOD is a nightmare anyways in the evenings so it's going to be even worse when they have an evening game especially considering the stadium is out of walking distance and poor public transport.

That's the reality of it. Maps can be deceiving. Out of interest on the training ground at the memorial ground there also used to be a car park, it has always baffled me that instead of building houses there they could have easily fitted a new stadium there so why didn't they?

With the greatest respect I can tell you right now none of those pubs are a ten minute walk away. It may look close on a map but I can assure you I have lived in this area all my life, I have walked thise streets near your stadium many times and none of what you mention is within ten minutes walk. I admit I havn't seen any plans but as it is there is only the cycle path which is a bugger and is massive. The king george is miles away from your stadium, it would be an almost half hour walk. Abbeywood again is at least a 15 minute walk, the problem is you have to walk all the way around the MOD and then over the ramps etc. Frenchey withjn walking distance? Haha yea ok. Even Horfield is pushing it for walking distance and that is onky if you live in the bit close to the stadium, upper horfield and no chance of walking it within a reasonable time same for Filton. Lockleaze you may be able to walk from but only if they open up a path to the stadium by Rodney Road but again you live in the lower part of Lockleaze and it aint gonna be a walk you would likr to do too often. You keeo telling yourself it's in a brilliant location, typical sag. Truth is it's stuck behind UWE and the MOD, access is very very poor, the ring road is rammed with traffic as it is. None of the pubs you mention are wuthin walking distance. Even Mcdonalds Nandos etc is a 20 minute walk away. Stop looking at the maps and go and walk the routes then try coming on here telling me all the pubs and places are within a ten minute walk. Your deluded.
