Kid in the Riot Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Quote 13:43 AL-QADI ON NEW STADIUM: "Buying the club, you know what is required - and this club needs a new stadium. "(The legal case) has to be sorted and finished before thinking of new stadium. "Once everything is in order and ready, the stadium has to be done for this club."

BS2 Red Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 The more I think about this the better the news is. If all goes to plan, the horse punchers will be out of Bristol, they will have sold out to a foreign investor that doesn't care at all about them or the area and we will all get to laugh when it goes belly up in (at most) a couple of years.

PHILINFRANCE Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 3 hours ago, Hello said: Apparently some presser at around half one As a Gashead, i am wary and interested and excited I have never been one to knock SL. This is the world of football now. Your struggles for want of a better word and the demands to stay in the championship require money even for the lowest spending clubs with wages and transfer seemingly increasing all the time. I for one hipe this is a positive for us and for you guys as well. I would rather see both clubs battling each other in the championship or Prem than what we have had for too long Good Afternoon Mr Parker, I laughed (there, but for the grace of God) when you descended to the conference, but agree with the highlighted words above.

Nogbad the Bad Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 4 hours ago, Nogbad the Bad said: If true, has this all come about due to that seemingly ridiculous article/advert a Rovers' supporting journalist had published in a Middle Eastern newspaper extolling their 'virtues' and absurdly saying what a fantastic club they'd be to take over? I remember this was on here with the newspaper headline and full story. Be good to read it again. Does anyone have a link to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be no other reason why he's involved otherwise..

Tinmans Love Child Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I'm surprised how many Rovers fans are sucking each others bits at the moment about this on their forum, I'm not sure it's necessarily great for the club, great for Higgs and co as they don't lose all their money, and the new owners get the land etc but I fear Rovers end up losing all assets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
