I didn't actually find his posts that bad, he seemed like an alright guy and knew more than most of the Gas that used to post on here. What I found funny was he'd reply to everyone individually so he could hugely increase the replies in this thread, and then quote the post count and tell us we care about Rovers too much.

weeble Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 21 hours ago, Rich said: So the rugby club chairman and BRFC supporter (Arthur Holmes) threatened to sell the Memorial ground to Amtrak for £2.3m (the figure he was owed by the rugby club), until he came up with the better plan of selling 50% of it to BRFC (Dunford), for the same figure of £2.3m (the amount he was owed). There was a condition that, if either of the clubs went bankrupt, the other club could buy the remaining 50% for £10,000. Yippee! BRFC come to the rescue of the rugby club, they'll be joint owners of the stadium company, and the rugby club will be forever grateful. What evidence is there for Arthur Holmes being a Rovers supporter? He was a lifelong Bristol Rugby supporter. In 1986 with Rovers close to financial collapse, they had to leave for Bath, despite the ruby ground being just a mile up the road from Eastville. Rovers only got offered the opportunity to be tenants at the Memorial Ground in 1996 when the rugby club were desperate for more income. Strange behaviour for an apparently keen Rovers supporter.

normantheforeman Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 I believe William cowling was a big player to set up the mem..paper work was drawn up by him to say if rugby club got in money trouble it would be offered to rugby governing body or to bristol council to maintain it as a memorial to the rugby lost players....now let's think Mr higgs was in charge of cowling when they stole the men . and they were main sponsors but some how this document was lost?????? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be that Dopey had his fingers crossed behind his back when Taylor signed his new contract with them thus making it invalid and consequently we haven`t signed him from them. He actually is still their player as they had another contract under the original one which committed him to them for five years at fifty quid a week. Dopey just inked in the depression left by his signature after everyone had left the room. In addition, they will be demanding that the Football League now relegate us to Conference South for playing an unregistered player v Rotherham.

Burning you up is it? Do all supporters of BRFC have to declare their support for the club publicly? I would imagine many keep it as quiet as possible. As stated, Holmes was not chairman at the time of BRFC leaving Bristol and subsequently blaming Bristol for all their failed attempts at returning. I can't remember, and can't be bothered to do any more research into those dodgy dealings of the formation of the Memorial stadium company back in 1998. I do believe from memory that Arthur Holmes became chairman of the rugby club only a few years before selling them down the River. He loaned the club money to build the Centenary stand, money that the club could ill afford as told from a source close to the club to this day. If you type in his name, you'll find many stories of past rugby club shareholders who were willing to invest but, were kept in the dark about the deal and are still very angry about the whole situation. Funny but looking through the setting up of the company, it's very evident that the main representations at meetings was of BRFC directors, Dunford, Bradshaw, Lewis and company secretary Watola, not sure about lewis, he might have been from Bristol Rugby but, no Arthur Holmes.
