Reigate Red Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Just been looking at the Visit Bristol website.They have a student bucket list section of things to do and see in our great city. Under the heading " Watch a sports match" they have the following: Join the local fans to cheer on Bristol Bears rugby team and Bristol City FC at Ashton Gate Stadium, or if cricket is more up your street then watch Gloucestershire Cricket play at their home ground just round the corner from the independent shops, pubs and restaurants of Gloucester Road. Is this just Visit Bristol being kind to students by excluding them or do they not know of their existence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they take these students back to the 60's by sending them to the mem, all of them start to fade away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 The Fewers have a thread about what City players they have previously admired, and in the name of self distancing solidarity, I will offer up a name of one of theirs. Barry Hayles. I know Ward was interested in buying him but was deemed as a non starter (we got Soren Anderson and Tony Thorpe instead - as told to me by Scott Davidson) but what former Fewers would you have been delighted with? https://gaschat.co.uk/thread/16097/liked?page=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Hani has stepped down as the only director of Dwane Developments UK and been replaced by Wael. Odd thing to do at a dormant company unless it is about to become not a dormant company. Preparation for building on the training ground or the stadium maybe? https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11253528/filing-history Admired players: Marcus Stewart. Great shame that it didn't work out. Going back a bit: Gary Mabbutt, Nigel Martyn, John Scales and presumably Geoff Bradford though that last is just a name to me.

Be hard to prepare for any building on the training ground or stadium is the current climate, no? Anyone would be mad to be be pushing ahead with substantial construction projects given that no-one is playing and we don't know when/if teams will be playing in the future.

It may not be building anything for ages. Transfer the land in and start applying for planning permission to whack up its value. If I wanted to protect my assets then I would be transferring them out of a heavily-indebted loss making company into a debt free company with no minority shareholders. Wael has complained about the minority shareholders previously; citing them as being a reason why they were unable to invest further. Obviously that reason is a nonsense but it does show that they are resented. It could however be transfer of the training ground from Dwane Sports so not directly affecting Rovers as they neither own it nor train on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted on here last week, a (probably baseless) rumour that a rift had formed between Wael and his family due, allegedly to him having been caught in flagrante. Disgusting if true. (Getting caught, I mean). I wonder if this is linked to Hani stepping down from Dwane in a sort of "you're on your own now, bro" sort of way? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a reasonable background to it. Though if he is now on his own and that means no more family money then BRFC 1883 is now a zombie company. Accounts to June last year are due by 31 March though I expect them to be late again. There is a critical requirement of the auditors that in order to sign off the accounts as a going concern (and if they don't no-one will give you credit terms- cash upfront every time) that a director must sign that they will provide financial support to the company for a year from the date of signing. The support last year came specifically from Hani rather than Wael and was dated 23 May 2019 so as it stands that support expires 23 May 2020. Obviously "indicate" in the second paragraph should be "indicates" as it is referring to a single forecast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_company https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/04501223/filing-history 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume, and it is just an assumption, that they have around 4k ST holders. Just an assumption of course. And that would keep them going ? Losing 60k per week isn't keeping going, its hanging on. Whilst one doesn't like to defend these deluded halfwits, when I read it I assumed it meant as as crowd percentage, rather than as a rank among other clubs. Therefore suggesting that their attendances are made up of ST holders in the majority. Edited March 19, 2020 by cider hoss rules 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
