Busterrimes Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 The problem with that vile football club can be summed up by saying they are stuck in a 70s timewarp. There support, stadium and so called humour are all stuck in that period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s unfair to tarnish all their fans for one idiots comment. To be fair he’s apologised for it. I’m sure most of us have said or written something in the past without thinking about it first. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very dear friend died yesterday, one of I have been meeting up with at Rovers for 30 years or so, the way he was in the past week means it really was a happy release. I will admit to being extra pleased that we won and you lost yesterday, he was a big character and going to games will never quite be the same again. He was very loud, a bit of a pain and very funny. He hated the colour red & everything about City with a passion!

CotswoldRed Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 A very stupid joke, yes. But many of you are perfect examples of the modern disease that is chucking your toys out of the pram in front of your keyboards. There are people in YOUR street barely able to feed their kids, suffering depression without friends and family, unable to pay their bills. They are far more deserving of your disgust and intolerance of their plight. Invest your energy in helping them perhaps? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vile supporters way below the belt The trouble with them is they have double standards for this sort of thing. DC "how did those lot get on down the road", "Oh happy days" - LEGEND Wolves manager going mental in our stands after their winner - LEGEND Windass - LEGEND Plymouth manager last season having a go - DISGUSTING, should be chucked out the league for nearly causing a riot. Presnting a bottle to Sir Colin Daniel - DISGUSTING Trescothick rinsing them - Say no more Plenty more examples of the double standards. It is to be expected.

Eddie Hitler Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Of the six Rovers' group companies: Filton Avenue Guarantee Company was dissolved via compulsory strike off for not filing accounts a couple of months ago https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/06912935/filing-history Filton Avenue Development Company has just been dissolved via compulsory strike off for not filing accounts https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/06828864/filing-history The Memorial Stadium Development Company has just been dissolved via compulsory strike off for not filing accounts https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/06829025/filing-history Leaving: Bristol Rovers 1883 - Holding Co Memeorial Stdium Company - Ground owner Bristol Rovers FC - Football club Which is the same structure that we have; all shares are owned in the holding co which in turn owns the club and ground separately. This could be interpreted as tidying the group structure with the total assets of all three dormant companies being just £200; though there are far better ways to go about it than failing to file accounts and being struck off. However... These companies are just what you set up when you are undertaking a major develpment project, I guess they were in place for the UWE, so that it is in a separate company so that if everything goes wrong then only that company goes and not the group (assuming no parent company guarantees). There is nothing shady in this; it's standard practice for development projects. And yet: WAQ has said that the fruit market site is so good to go that he expects a finished development there in two years. Now obviously he has got a bit carried away there but if you are seriously intending to go into a big development project then the very first thing that you do is set up new companies to take the risk. Exactly such companies that have just been allowed to be dissolved. With the inference being drawn: That whether or not the fruit market site is a runner for a new stadium it will be, like the Colony "training ground", a Dwane Sports asset and not the property of Bristol Rovers. I would suggest monitoring the filings and the setting up of any associate companies of these two companies for any changes: DWANE DEVELOPMENTS UK LIMITED Company number 11253528 https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11253528/filing-history WIZTEK LIMITED Company number 10664221 https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10664221/filing-history Edit: @bert tann any expansion?
