CodeRed Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) There's mass masturbation over on Asschat as they get off on this fake news from Wally that he's. "Interested" in the site. Last time Wally spoke to RB he confirmed that they were open to offers from investors for the club (ie they wanted to cash out)......now he's been working on this site all along.....he's a complete fraud. And they lap it up. Again....and again..and again. Edited August 3, 2019 by CodeRed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Jesus, they’re gullible. I work near temple meads. There is already likely work on the prior “arena island” for offices, restaurants etc. There is also a large space by the cheese grater and more in the office district earmarked for a hotel. There is a multi screen cinema less than a mile away. You build there, all you’re building is a stadium. The infrastructure won’t come with as its more of an industrial area (notwithstanding paintworks) and the hotel/leisure requirement is covered and better located - So, what “investors”, hitherto uninterested in the rovers would actually fund this as damn sure Wally won’t...

1960maaan Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Would the Council really want them South of the river ? Already saw a gAss Tweet questioning the safety in the local pubs. They have to buy the ground, do feasibility studies , apply for planning , buy the land , put out tenders and build the thing and get it passed for use in 2 years ??? They have had no money to spend on the training ground, infrastructure , ground or team yet they now have a money tree? They would have to sell their ground, which would be valued at far less than the fruit market site , to fund it purchase. Again you wonder where the money comes from. Isn't there only one way in/out ? New roads etc , more Council involvement would really slow the process. In 2 years ? I'm a little dubious.

Gazred Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 So they don't own the land, have no planning permission and are being backed by multiple foreign investors. Yeh, good luck seeing anything in 2-3 years if ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Rovers sell the existing ground to help fund the new fruit market development. Rovers then ground share with eg Bath City for a couple of years whilst the new ground is being built. Unfortunately after the Memorial Stadium is sold there are unfortunate developments beyond anyone’s control and the new ground doesn’t get built Just a possible scenario 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to be pedantic. The council were actively promoting having a joint stadium on the old fruit market site early naughties, so might be in favour of such a scheme. Having said that, Marvin ditched the use of Temple Island for something which would be more beneficial to the city of Bristol on that site, in favour of one outside Bristol. A recycling centre would be more beneficial to the city of Bristol on that site, so a stadium has no chance. Far too many hurdles to cross with those plans, this is the age of the keyboard warrior. The new block of flats planned for Totterdown bridge only just got passed, after much opposition from residents. Can you imagine their reaction to a bigger shit tip than currently exists? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 What an absolute crack pot. He's "identified" an area of land in the media that belongs to someone else and is already talking about planning permission on it?!?! He's also saying that the training ground will be developed once the stadium has been built. But I thought that was being developed anyway?!?! What idiot in their right mind would say that?!?! Assuming the club has the funds (which they don't) and assuming the private land owner wants to sell to them (which they may not) and assuming they can get outline planning permission fŕom the council (which can only be a hypothetical question as they don't own it) Absolutely ludicrous, baffling. Where is the funding coming from?!?! I would almost say that here is undeniable proof that he is a complete and utter idiot. It has more holes in it than an old tent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreedyHarry Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) So some quick measurements on Google Earth. The Fruit Market sure is approximately 330yds by 170yds at its furthest points. In no way is the area used by the fruit market rectangular. 2 sides cannot be extended as they are bordered by GWR's depot to the North and Albert Crescent and more of the train depot to the east. The train depot ain't going nowhere. The south and west sides are bordered by multiple businesses including Bristol Waste's depot. So these would all have to be moved on to create an extra 50 yds approx in each direction. I'm guessing Wally is more clever than we thought, and is future proofing their club with some five-a-league pitches, for their first team in 2024.

Any value in the Mem is leveraged against the loans Wally and his brother have in the club. They are secured creditors. So either they will have to go again, or they will be free from debt (on a personal level), and the funding for the new stadium will be borrowed from banks residing in a fairly volatile part of the world.

They haven't discussed with the Council. 4. They have no source of funding. 5. They are talking about an impossible time scale. 6. Their gullible fans have fallen for another content-free statement.

BTRFTG Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 A couple of technical points for those commenting on the 'actions' of The Fake Sheikh. It's not unusual, or illegal, to apply for planning or pre-planning consents on freehold one doesn't own. Proposals don't have to be delivered and if the owner isn't happy presumably they'll note an objection. Ditto technical planning surveys and development, providing they aren't intrusive they may be done without the owner's consent. As for the rest of the criticisms fair points all, though I hear after this week's deluges there was espied a gert on the Muller Road and legend has it there's bound to be a crock of something at the end of it.....

Thanks for sharing your expertise. I take your point of course, it just seems futile to carry out technical work if there is no realistic prospect of buying the land in question. It seems to me that at best a company whose only asset has a charge on it is going to face punitive interest rates on any loans it manages to raise.
