That wasn't the case when the Al Qs took over. They let their true colours show on Gaschat talking about waving handfuls of fivers at Morecombe fans to show how rich they were , outspending Lansdown, 6th richest club in the country, 'mind the cash', "a new era is comin SHITHEADS" etc. They really, really don't help themselves. 2 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is like a comedy sketch show. Since the AQs took over and they've been unbearably cocky about "we're getting a brand new stadium, you're just redeveloping your rubbish ground" etc., more so than they've usually been. UWE being cancelled and the fun we've had since - any other team you might feel sorry for them, but with the stuff they come out with (and how they acted in 82) I honestly can't think of a team that deserves it more... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) @glynriley thankyou @gasheadgaz said: Just had a quick look on otib, bitter much? Not a happy bunch. @Briz Red I can't see any bitter or unhappy posts on OTIB..... We're just very happy to have a ridiculously rich, Bristolian owner @Rovers Drive Who has bought you nothing but success for all the hundreds of millions he's ploughed in. #mindthegap @nobbygas To be fair, nothing can match your very own Comedy Club @Briz Red You are right. I can't believe But, if you don't get instant results and success from today's news I'd wager there will be simmerings of discontent on here too...Mr Lansdown gets criticised so much. He can't have done much more for our club. Some managerial appointments have been disastrous but the guy has put his heart, soul and wallet into the club. He doesn't deserve the slagging. @mariobalotelli Billionaire owner, yet yo-yo between the Championship and League One. Could be a important message for us, but as proven by you lot, all the money in the world doesn't guarantee success. We've been Ragass Rovers forever but now we finally have a chance of moving forward as a club. I think that scares a lot of City fans as you probably haven't progressed as well as you thought you would with your billions.

Then the colour in the shape of rivalry will once again be a daily occurrence as it used to be. A future local derby with 35,000? Mouth watering.

Red34 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Think Eddie might have posted a link to it before, but was taking a look at the planning application to change those 2 constraints when they bought the Colony: http://developments.southglos.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=OCS0FUOKG6G00 Firstly - in the constraints tab it seems to mention a lot about flooding. Anyone who understands the planning stuff know if that means it's likely to flood often?! Secondly - the documents tab is fun - as well as the first document highlighting the amount of constraints they have to meet, the letters below it from those in favour are funny: Quote I believe this will be beneficial for the club in the long term by putting bristol on the map in the footballing world and introducing a new city to the premier league Also one who reckons anyone disagreeing with the development should be look at with suspicion "as they might have ulterior motives" - they really are paranoid...

It’s that kind of stubbornness that is seeing your club go down the plug hole, with little or no reaction from the supporters..! Surely you can see that no money is being spent. The ground “improvements” are basically DIY bodge jobs, your net outlay on players is pretty much Zero. You no longer own your ground, because it’s “mortgaged” against Wally’s initial investment and the only person making any profit within the club is Wally, via his interest payments. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
