22A Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 OK folks, let's be magnanimous and helpful to our lesser bretheren. Having lived away from Bristol for many years now, I'm out of touch. The Civil Service Sports Club on Filton Avenue; is it still going? If not, is that a sports ground going spare? Failing that; could they be accommodated (at a bit of expense) on part of Filton Airfield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 So as I understand it, the Mem will be sold to repay the debt and someone is going to come up with at least £20m to buy the fruit market, plus another £40m to build a stadium plus auxiliary costs along with an unknown amount to clear the site and install the roads and infrastructure. Some fairly large bribes will also be needed to obtain planning permission, if it is ever going to get started. How are they ever going to get a return on their capital with 8000 coming through the gates and a practically worthless squad of players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may well have the funds secured and they could get planning permission but 2 years - no chance! By which time the debt will have ballooned to an unmanageable point and the club will be put into administration as creditors line up for their pound of flesh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 This is going to be Edward Ware, former director of Edward Ware homes, That went bankrupt and I believe was banned from being a director of a company for a time, as a result. Fortunately, he wasn't made to suffer too much financially, as his Mrs found £5m down the back of the sofa to carry on with her own property company, as she was a real property expert. It might also include Nick Higgs who is reportedly still owed a substantial sum from the original sale of BRFC to Dwayne Sports. I don't like the talks going on with BCC as they will bend over backwards to help that lot out. Just as they did when changing the planning committee on the day of the meeting to decide the application for the redevelopment of the rugby ground. Six councillors were removed from the committee who'd previously voiced their concerns about that application, to be replaced by other councillors friendly towards the application/club. BCC previously promoted the idea of using the fruit market site as a joint stadium for both clubs. As we have ours now, they'll say it's only fair that Rovers can compete on an even footing and bend a few rules, re access, travel arrangements, noise and light pollution, granting of long leases with peppercorn rent, on the adjoining council owned depot for hotel/housing developments which will go towards financing. There are many hurdles to cross here, none less than agreeing a figure with the Al Quadi family for their money back, plus interest/profit on their original property deal. Then actually getting money out of BRFC for rent on a £40-£60m build. Someone is going to take a hit in this plan. Probably the new stadium company formed to see the project through, that gets loans on the value of land, who will then go bankrupt, leaving BRFC to pick up a newly built stadium at a knock down price from the liquidator, with the financiers ultimately taking a hit and writing off £40m. some people are good with shares and when to acquire and sell them, and the club has history in forming new companies and obtaining property when someone goes to the wall. Seen it all before with that lot. Slippery as hell. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen it all before with that lot. Slippery as hell. Yeah, I'm sure Ed Ware will be involved. His missus is a property barrister, not a developer though. I have to say on the face of it the project seems viable and Rovers will be better off without the useless Wael and co. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a w4nker I don't know why we should panic even it was a viable proposition which it obviously isn't. A very brief scan of the figures reveals that. Seems to me that this consortium is after a valuable piece of land for development and it aint the Fruit Market.
