If this is true the Al Qadi family will have actually paid nothing at all for Rovers. Add in the probability that the cash for The Mem upgrade has come from season ticket revenues and the two Gentlemen who are supposed to be working tirelessly on the UWE Stadium "file" both appear to have full time jobs managing other companies and there may be some cause for concern. However, I for one am reassured by the fact that successful businessmen do not buy sports clubs purely for the prestige of being described in the papers as "billionaires" or rubbing shoulders with intricately tattooed players or being treated like royalty by sycophantic fans. And neither do banks use other peoples money to enrich their coffers from tasty land deals at absolutely no risk to themselves. Do they ? russians do, so do arabs, its to rub their ego, the more you start to dig, the more the threads come undone, Wael is a fall guy for Hamer to get his grubby mits on the mem and the land, you've traded one incompatant chairman with his heart in the right place to another who will asset strip the club, If the car park hasn't started by the end of august be very worried 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did all jump for joy when we welcomed our new owner and the honeymoon is coming to an end and reality sets in .. however we do find ourselves with a league one status .. a good manager .. and a good team .. The New stadium will go ahead , when ?? Who knows but as I said patience is what we've learned to aquire . You do have a good stadium that's a fact and ours is what it is .when you follow a club you stand by them through good and bad times .. yes it's frustrating but there ya go .. My thoughts on the season ahead ? We shall end up middish and maybe a few more acquisitions .. I know nothing about your team but understand you've improved from the way you got yourselves out of trouble last season. . I predict 16th ish .. I am one of the realists who support BRFC and yes I do enjoy the odd bit of banter with you guys as I do with my own red mates .. Pretty close there I reckon Phil..i have us to finish 15th,you mid table...would be a decent season for both IMO...plenty of ours n' yours that will be pretty unhappy with that,I'm sure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 We got a signed Cheltenham card for someone at work. The only signature we could read was, to his credit, Nathan Tyson. There must be some rule about unreadable signatures in football clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyC Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 They have started training already in Spain..... "Some 50 yards away, Al-Qadi watched on from close to the dugouts, seemingly eager to join the action as he continually rose from his chair in a dash to return any wayward ball that rolled in his direction".........I bet he was busy with wayward balls.
