Lanterne Rouge Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 How many do we think they`ll take to Blackpool today? No doubt the Man Bar has got extra staff booked to cope with the influx. It should be a big crowd post-Oyston, probably around 10- 12k, so wait for the deluded ones to say they had 50% of it. And of course, how much more the Blackpool fans liked them than they do da shit.

So using Gas maths they have 1 in the office another 1 locked outside pressing the buzzer to get in and 3 3 pulling a sickie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officially there is only one. But he keeps passing the security entry card out through the window so the other four can get in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did actually- I think the figure was updated to 1300 and there is pay on the day, but it was quiet in town last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's madness to me and I'm not sure how it helps the aspirations of teams below the Championship. In some ways, I don't even think it helps us as it proves that every player has a price - a crazy figure that even Bournemouth and Brighton can now reach.

I didn't even know you had sold two players for £40million! But that is a serious amount of cash. I don't take an awful lot of notice of football stories that don't involve Rovers or Celtic and I really would struggle to name more than 3 or 4 City players, I tend to just look out for your results and hope you lose! Mind you, although I know most of the Rovers players names, I would also struggle to recognise more than 3 or 4 of them, so it's probably just that my interest in football has waned somewhat. I still like going to games, having a beer and a laugh, but the football is very much secondary to the social these days. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I happen to hear a bit of your game broadcast on RB, I haven't got a clue which side has got the ball ! e.g. do I want X to score, or not .

Johnny Musicworks Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Aiming for a new stadium within 2 years. They are looking for planning on the Fruit Market and expect the council to be helpful according to that very nice man. You would think that area might be a little congested traffic wise. He can’t talk about funding at this stage, not before they havee asked the council to fund it presumably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do know is that there is absolutely no way that they will get through planning and then get a stadium built within two years even if everything goes to plan; I would suggest four years is realistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert tann Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Announcement expected imminently from Dwane Sports to say they are purchasing a valuable tract of land at St Phillips, Bristol on which they will build a new 20 000 capacity multi-sports stadium. The development will also include a hotel, offices, restaurants, cinema complex and associated parking. The project is said to be financed through the support of the Bahrain Arab International Bank (BAIB) and the Kuwait Asia Bank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they’ve got the funding in place, then this one may actually happen..! Multi sports/use stadium, hotel & offices all sound good. Cinema complex though..? Really?! Cinemas are dying on their asses and there are showcase and Cabot both close by. Sounds odd to me. 20k capacity sounds sensible & realistic. Lets see if this one actually happens..!

Flounder Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Staggering amount of stuttering B.S. when Twentyman questioned Wally about the new stadium. Wally must have thought the interview was going so well until that point. The answers would have snappped the needle off of Jeremy Kyles lie detector. If you ask a Billionaire how he’s going to pay for something surely there is an easier answer than its a secret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Musicworks Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I’m guessing there will be some local opposition to the plans. Quite a few dog walkers in St Phillips I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to finance all of that then why waste your profits by setting land aside for a loss-making football ground? Just stick a few blocks of flats up instead and make a fortune.

No need, it's a well known habitat for a rare species of newt. Or it will be once I transport them from Long Ashton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Sinclair Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I've been watching City for 31 years and that lot have been harping on about a new stadium for all that time (and beyond) - I will believe it when it has actually been built Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
