They got a little trophy for winning the play offs. They then spent a good few years banging on about winning a trophy that season whereas we didn't get a trophy (as we went up automatically that year). Like I said, #gaslogic.

RedM Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Let them climb, the further you climb the bigger the drop (and yes Gasheads we are speaking from experience). From experience too we can also say building a new stadium is never straightforward, even if you have the money. And I'll add to that the fact that building a team,when other clubs know your owner has money, isn't either. Hes's only been there 5 minutes, and pretty much only experienced the good times. Let's see what happens when the going gets tough, and it will, promotion or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got a trophy for a div 4 play off win??! Ha ha! Was that also the season they knocked us out the Mickey Mouse Football League Trophy and one of theirs described it as 'literally the best day of my life' on their forum?! Pity they lost the final to Donny Rovers tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah bollux, didn't see the word "wins" in that sentence. Obviously my subconscious couldn't get to grips with the idea of that lot having another successful season. Hope it didn't play to much havoc with that pedantic streak you seem to have acquired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funding situation is definitely interesting. Steve Lansdown has spent £45m ish just on a ground redevelopment. Two new stands and and extension & refurbishment for a third. Take this figure and extrapolate it and you have the cost of a full size new stadium. If Weal really doesn't have the money I think the options are either sell the Memorial Stadium and use the money to build a basic small ground at UWE or, as you say, stay where they are and just do a tidy up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the sums aren't as easy as double the seats double the cost, but if they were thinking of 20k seats and leaving the fit out to be like Colchester and Shrewsbury (very basic) I guess there would be little change from £35-£40 million. Sainsbury's deal was paying over the odds for the Mem so the shortfall could be £20-£30m , that's a lot of funding for a stadium you would already only part own. A refit makes sense and if the capacity was reduced during the rebuild, to say 7,000 , they could boast about selling out the ground more often, win win !
