Although he did say the UWE is the only site they're looking at, and funding isn't a problem. But then said a team of accountants are currently reviewing feasibility and lots of discussions with other parties need to conclude. So nobody any the wiser really. Oh and just about the worst fans panel they could pull together - cringeworthy even if I say so myself. Yep Question: Where do you want this club to be in a years time. Answer: Above Bristol City. Question: What is the ambition of this club. Answer: To be higher in the League than Bristol City. Added to one chap who was surprised that Doppy Daryl talked to Leeds as they really are no bigger than Rovers and you get an idea of how dilussional they where. Actually turned into a bit of comedy gold me on my cycle trip home. Edited September 8, 2016 by Hillzider 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sadly somehow some of the 'Gas Girls' from the admittedly woeful 'Rovers Appreciation Page' on Facebook made the panel. Now I don't want to sound snobby but these 'girls' do come over as a bit rough and chavvy at the best of times so I'm surprised they were chosen and made the cut to the panel. They spend most of their time online talking about penis size and the players they fancy grim. Anyway - positive news - talks are advanced on the new training ground site, 29 acres, hoping to start a move in March. Will aim to be a Cat 2 Academy - woohoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will aim to be a Cat 2 Academy - woohoo Really? This is what will be required and they think they will be able to fulfil this from scatch? “Category 2” means that the football club passed an audit showing that the club is able to fulfill a set of very specific criteria. The audit process works on a three-year cycle, with the current cycle beginning in the upcoming season 2016/2017. The process involves a rigorous look at the function of the Academy across a set of pre-determined criteria: • Club Vision and Values • Coaching Programme • Sports Science and Medicine • Recruitment • Education and Welfare • Facilities • Finance • Productivity The football club’s own investment in achieving these criteria – currently about £600,000 per year – is then supplemented by a Grant from the Premier League in the region of £500,000. This joint figure of roughly £1.1 million is then dedicated to the Academy and allows it to fulfill the required criteria. This money is paid once an Academy Performance plan has been produced, followed by an online submission against over 300 specific requirements and then confirmed by a five-day audit inspection from an independent company."

Any true Gashead will tell you that once a site has been selected, design completed, planning permission obtained and finance put in place. The next logical step is to do a feasibility study Absolutely spot on and anything else is just bullshit, but i'm sure it will be swallowed.

Not , we want to be in the Championship or to have a new ground. It's all about us. It really is a tragic comedy of a club Added to one chap who was surprised that Doppy Daryl talked to Leeds as they really are no bigger than Rovers Now that's just stupid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
