CodeRed Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 No plans No money No redevelopment plans for Men No news of any alternative sites No training ground progress No commitment from Al Quadi family No hope The training ground will be ditched with the excuse that there's planning & technical issues - blaming the council - and that if they can't build a "world class" training facility they'll keep looking...Gasheads deserve nothing less. Remember they blamed UWE but the reason was they wanted ownership of the ground so they could -as owners -borrow against it as they have with the Men. As I understand they've put no money in , only what they've borrowed against the Men. The talk of alternative sites for a stadium is Bullshit , there is no site in Bristol and if there was the council won't allow it. How many times have they tried? Stoke Gifford. Avonmouth. Severside. UWE. Redeveloped Mem. Not actually having any money to pay for a ground doesn't help mind! Likely scenario. They rent pitches at UWE for training., Wael announces plans for new stadium in 2021 ( no location or details due to legal constraints) they " temporarily" move to the new FGR stadium At junction 13 M5 Stroud.....as tenants.Wael sells mem for housing promising "every penny" will go to "new stadium" ......Wael and family trouser the cash and buggerr off back to Jordan. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I've just read the transcript of Wally's interview with GT. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Leaving aside the bovine excrement about legal issues preventing any discussion about options for a new ground or rebuild of the mem, the stuff about legal issues preventing discussion of the training ground is bizarre. What could possibly be preventing any discussion about the colony? Dwayne Sports own the land so no issue there. They have already held a consultation with relevant stakeholders and from what I've read the outcome was generally favourable, so no issue there. Any planning application goes immediately into the public domain. They have appointed another company to ensure all the paperwork gets done, nothing top secret there. Finally, everyone knows what makes up your average training ground. A few pitches, all weather and grass, somewhere to get changed, somewhere to park, somewhere for the physio to work and somewhere for the groundsman to keep his tools. There is absolutely nothing that I can see that is top secret about any of that. The only thing needed to get it all done is a bit of cash. Aaaahhh could that be the problem? How the sags can suck up the shite they were fed in that interview and see anything positive in it is beyond me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I could do was laugh as the guy watched me beep my card at the machine before pressing a peddle to let me through! Gastwat2 : Appeared to work perfectly for me and most of the other 8600 in the stadium! Gastwat1 : My point is they were not electronic. A guy watched the light come on and then pushed a peddle to let me through. Not sure if this was all around the ground but was certainly on the east side. Gastwat3 : I thought it was priceless too. There was I expecting something like at Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge, even some L1 grounds. Should have remembered it's BRFC. Gastwat4 : I banged my knee cause of a malfunction (the bloke forgot to press the peddle) Gastwat5 " It’s not there to save staffing revenue it’s there to stop ticket fraud and turnstile operators pocketing some of the gate money ,Jobs a success Billy Smarts Circus for the modern age....

Port Said Red Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) How long do we think he can continue to "stand on the terraces" or "mix with the fans" before they turn nasty and he needs a security detail?

Well, judging by the fact that an `urgent meeting` has stopped him attending a charity event today where many of the six fingered ones would have been able to speak to him, my guess would be it has passed that point. Honestly, would fans of any other club take all this shit without any form of organised protest? Blackpool? Blackburn? Leyton Orient? Millwall? Hull? Still, as long as we didn`t win all`s well in g*sland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will probably open a security office, in London, with one security guard and at a cost no less than 250k. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, great comedy value. I paraphrase but basically he said "we give DC a competitive budget but to finish in the top six he has to over achieve." That's not a competitive budget then is it Wally?

Redstoke Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Took my 8 year old son for the first time today to watch the Glos T20 blast game against Surrey this afternoon, great win and a nice afternoon out. Went for a quiet pint after the game in an unnamed boozer on Gloucester road (lad wearing city shirt) and without going into detail was told by a group of Gasheads to cover the lad up or get a hiding!! Who the **** acts like that? Not tarring them all with the same brush but FFS!! Ruined a great day out..

They will not be out of pocket but the sags wont have a ground and be penniless. They are actively in trouble now if they do not find a buyer as they have owners who will not put money in and have spiralling debts - from what I gather anyway. Hadn’t realised the details; that is bleak. It will be very interesting if they struggle this year; can’t imagine they have much in the way of back-up resources were they in desperate need of reinforcements, and some of the natives seem restless already.
