Sir Colby-Tit Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Wally's missing a trick here. All he needs to do is produce an "artist's impression" of an imagined new stadium. History has shown us that this will keep the gullible fewers happy for at least five years. I believe one more would be enough to produce a calendar, which could be sold in their club shop and double current revenue streams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 1 hour ago, Red Right Hand said: Oh absolutely. It`s all about the land and FTG, no-one cares about them. This `takeover` is nothing more than a way in to enable prime land to be acquired for housing. They`ll share with Bath for a couple of years and then go bust. Loved Ali making the point they were losing 250k a month too! The deluded ones will lap it up as usual though - cue `we`ve got our stadium` ringing out over Horfield again. There is defo some mileage from what I have been told in the stadium, they basically have the council on board for it as it stands - now they still have to submit plans and get past objections, and more importantly buy the land etc. I will still only believe it when a brick gets laid.... But the 250k losses per month is surely a huge point. Why would anyone (ie unless a Billionaire fan) want to get involved with a club losing that amount, when at the moment they have no way of basically cutting it? If they sell the Mem to help fund anything they will have to move elsewhere, and their crowds will fall even lower and they will be losing even more per week/month/year etc. I just don't get why a Consortium would want to buy them out at all. Surely there is more money just purchasing the Fruit Market and plan for housing and build and sell them. Why fork out millions in losses per year for a football club that is already 20 million in debt - surely not just for the land at the Mem?

BCFC11 Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hello to all you Pikey Shithouses popping over to have a gander , the only nonsense going around at the moment is yet ANOTHER pie in the sky stadium story coming out of your club, when will it finally get through those thick heads of yours that your shitty little club feed you these fantasies every so often to shut you up for a while, usually for 6months and repeat, knowing full well you’ll believe whatever they come out with. Your club through various owners have had you mongs on strings for years yet can’t see shit from the trees. THAT is why this thread is so long you provide endless tinpot entertainment daily. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC11 Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Out it all comes again There is something about our club that gets to some that follow BCFC. - ‘Gets to some’ not quite Saggie, the reason we continue to talk and take the piss out of you is for posts exactly like this. So deluded it’s unbelievable. We are the oldest,thus Bristol's club - Bristol’s club are you now? Well what an absolute embarrassment to the City you are, for the Oldest club you have ONE trophy in 130 YEARS to your name, Bristols club tosspot. We have charactor, what’s a charactor? a modest yet very honest history. - modest and honest?? Are you for real?? Your history is truly atrocious and as for honest that’s just laughable just off the top of my head we have, 2 of your games mysteriously postponed before big games the next week, shitting on Bristol RFC, trying to steal AG in 82, then trying to get Wycombe relegated to Non League by saying they cheated. Honest?? No a ******* chance.stand out kit - Correct here, look like a bunch of jesters and historic club song - wrong again you stole that aswell. Unique club nicknames - unique?? years old City fans used it in derogatory terms to describe Rovers fans, yet you mongs thought it was worthy of a Nickname! As for Pirates apart from living up to that nickname with your history of stealing things I find it emabarrssing tbh, especially when you see grown men dressed up as a pirate down the dump.People Know Bristol Rovers are even if we are sh**! - Correction * they only know you because you are shit. City have nothing to offer apart from money and a Francise arena. - So how do you fund a football club nowadays without money? You clearly wouldn’t know cos you ain’t got a pot to p!ss in, so I’ll explain; transfers is where one club purchases another clubs player by the way of paying a fee for their services, sometimes players have what they call a release clause where if a club matches that clause they are free to talk to the club, Matty Taylor for example £300k! THREE HUNDRED GRAND!!!! Then it comes down to wages, something you lot would know a lot about this summer, 2 players leaving you for more money yet dropping down to L2! More recently Cockman in the press saying how hed been chasing Leon Clarke only to find out he’s on 4 times the amount your poxy outfit could offer!! As for your ‘franchise’ gag, for the umpteenth time, I’d suggest you search what a franchise actually is, think you’ll find that you are more of a franchise than we’ve ever been, we’ve always remained at AG but remember you fecked off to Bath for 10 years?

CotswoldRed Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) Educated people (whether they are in favour or otherwise) understand the purpose of Bristol Sport and that Steve Lansdown has owned the club for a considerable time. He is an astute businessman and sees his current structure as best for the club and for sport in general for the whole city. This structure is about maximising the viability of all sports and saving money where possible. The fruits of this are now being seen (see list of current players compared to a few seasons ago, see attendances etc). We still have a single, Bristolian, owner. The word "consortium is nowhere in sight. That's the ugly word. Now, let's be clear. Rovers fans couldn't care less who owned them and and what basis (see current situation and that of the last 5 years). Its quite laughable they criticise a local fan and businessman owning their rivals, whatever the financial setup. They're excited about a consortium and they don't even know who sits within it ffs. Rovers' ownership structure has nothing to be envied whatsoever. Edited August 10, 2019 by CotswoldRed 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, it's the component parts of Bristol Sport that could be described as such then, in fact I think I have even heard Lansdown describe them as such (albeit things like the basketball) City may or may not be a franchise, and if I were a City fan, I probably wouldn't give two ***** whether they are or not.

Everyone else, Rovers are technically incorrect as BCFC is clearly NOT a franchise, but Rovers are not ACTUALLY Gypsies, sister sha&&ers, inbred etc etc. If a same town rival finds a name that irritates t’other lot they use it. How to take it’s power away is to appropriate it. ‘Gas’ was originally our insult to them but it has no power because they adopted it. Likewise them calling us ‘the shit’ doesn’t work. Suggest we get past the ‘but we aren’t actually a franchise’ stage and move swiftly onto the ‘whatever’ stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's considered an insult because in football it is associated with the MK Dons and all that story entailed. Nobody would like to lumped in with that travesty of a football club and we are clearly nothing like them, Of the two clubs in Bristol which one had moved the most in it's history?
