When I started watching the video I was amazed at how professional it looked (the video I mean, not the stadium, that still looks like it belongs to a Bosnian Fourth Division team), and I was actually quite impressed. But yeah, it turns out that it's produced on the Argyle side. Should have known that instantly to be fair.

It was an Argyle supporter PSR. He does every away game. Nicely done to be fair.

He was at the Gate last year and did something similar..

 

That's amazing, he must have lots of help and access to produce that, some great camera angles as well.  That video is the one that @BS4 on Tour... should have put up as a comparison instead of the fly through.

Unsure what has been mentioned on their place, but I have been told they have been bought out and announcement will be in a few weeks (assuming some more "feasibility studies" are ok). Not disclosing too much on here, but part of the new lot will be a surprise to say the least - that is if it hasn't been mentioned elsewhere already, and a current shareholder may still be on board as wael.

Dopey has got Luton fans pissing themselves by saying Luton don't have bigger support than them . Considering Kenilworth roads capacity holds 2k less then chernobyl I think Lutons new stadium capacity is too small at 17,500.

This is the same as everyone has apparently heard I think. It all seems to stem from someone called Gas Incider, who claims to be ITK on their forum all the time. A lot of them are calling him out for bullshit over there.

Didn’t realise it was done by an Argyle fan - fair play, he or she did a great job in highlighting what a horrible little ground the Mem really is...

Properly wealthy or not? Not that they're any threat.

Shame about Dyson. He'd have been an ideal owner for them - his vacuums fall to pieces and so could his team.

It certainly isn't from him, and it may well not happen - but it is from someone who has very close ties with the club and has told me stuff previously that could not even be repeated. As everything stands I would say what I have been told is 100% correct, it may still fall through though yet (landing lights etc).

I seen a near 50 page thread on there so haven't even looked.to see what has been said.

3 parties definitely involved (one being a huge surprise), plus another "firm" involved in future developments, but whether or not they are part of the board/owners and will have shares I don't know.

We shall see in a few weeks and it may still fall through, but I have no reason to disbelieve what I have been told what is going on at the moment. I am also certainly not claiming to be the only one "in the know" as a few will obviously have been told before me as well by close members of their club.

Is the "huge surprise" somebody who has been connected to City at some point?

No nothing to do with City

There is only one reason why a property developer would buy the Sags.

Think he was desperate to get out, doubt he'd go back and risk his retirement fund.

Probably still owed money. Either way hope they do get taken over . Moved out of Bristol. End up like Coventry. The sags will be a proper franchise

Cheers - that's one theory down the pan then! 

[Ivorguy]

Just a little contrary note to strike.

I hope things improve for Rovers and they begin to challenge us

The old rivalry was good to watch, good for the success of both clubs, and good for football in the city

Why young supporters under fifty should be so bitter is way beyond my understanding, but then again at my age much is beyond my understanding from Brexit onwards!

Blimey for once I agree with their ground design, main pitch in the middle training pitches either side and corporate boxes all around, they may have to trim their bushes as that may restrict some views.

What success did having local derbies help bring either club in the 80’s or 90’s..? Apart from lower league promotion..?

Surely, 2 periods from last century aside, this is currently closing in on our most successful period now (sustained 2nd tier football, with play off ambition) 

Look how far we’ve progressed off the field since we last played them..!

They may need us as a market, but we sure as hell don’t need them and their going out of business could only benefit us.
