Bristol Rob Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Potentially, another gift for us to enjoy. http://gasheads.org/thread/8694/ken-masters-banned If I understand correctly, he is the fans director. So that'll be the fans representative of a club in a financial hole with no voice to challenge the club with! Still, I'm sure they'll be all over this and demanding answer... it's what they do*. *Actually, it isn't what they do, quite the opposite, it's exactly what they don't do, which is why they constantly get fed a diet of speculation by people who claim to know what is going on over there, mostly because they have time to make things up as their failing computer repair shop has no customers.

myol'man Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 My gas inside contact (he was right about both Dopey & Cockman leaving) tells me that the fake sheikh's family/Dwayne sports, or whatever name they go under, have the funds to buy the fruit market site BUT not to build a stadium. So, he expects them to announce an offer to buy the land with the caveat that they either need new investors to come onboard, or sell the Memorial Ground to raise the extra funds needed. This will send the blue few into a state of frenzy, but the reality will be absolutely nothing happens, except Wally and co. would then own the site ready for housing development. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the funds to buy it for how much though? If they have to sell the Mem then where are they going to go for the next few years? Surely getting investors won't be easy if they have been touted for sale to all and sundry and nobody wants them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling the Memorial ground is a drop in the ocean in terms of building a stadium - probably not much more than a quarter of the funds required I would think. They'd be better off retaining ownership, shipping the football club somewhere else, and developing the site themselves as an enabling development for the Fruit Market - if they are interested in a stadium on that site of course. Much easier to sell the site and walk away imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like a good plan purely from an investment point of view. They but the fruit market, funding never materialises to build a stadium, so they build houses there instead.

The Mem isn't worth anything though. The monies loaned to the club by Dibley Sport is secured again the stadium. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC11 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Bath City have done a bit of forward thinking here with their redevelopment plans by having a 3G pitch installed, just incase those thieving pikeys come sniffing around once their development is complete, as another Sag stadium plan falls flat on its face.

Swede Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hey sags, we've all seen the various "artist's impressions" of the new avonmouth uwe fruit bowl and we have all heard that apparently it takes time to build a stadium even at one stand at a time. Why I here even the new training facility is taking a little longer than expected, I expect its all those hush hush confidential agreements. Here's what our owners have come with. It's amazing what can be done if you have owners who truly believe in your club and put their money where their mouth is. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd socks Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 A conversation I was party too, involving two owners of a successful business at the fruit market site. Was that an offer of 20 million was made by rovers some months ago ( as furious custard posted some weeks ago) with all sorts of conditions imposed as part of the deal The owners of the site have also turned down an offer of 40 million from a major house builder. The main thing to consider is that the fruit market site , is not a empty or derelict site ,business are still trading from there .If any bid was successful, then the owners would need to find an alternative site ,obtain planning and have the site built . So the day after they vacate the fruit market site ,they can move in and start trading.This would take minimum of three years to complete. As a man once said these things take time, he forgot to mention money ? .Both of which BRFC do not have. ,why their fans are not calling, Wael out on this I don't understand, maybe they don't want to know ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don't. You are correct. They don't give a jot about the historic significance or heritage meaning of the site. I am extremely surprised that there isn't some sort of protection order on the land and gates to keep it as a permanent memorial. The current owners should not be able to profit on the fallen by turning their memorial into a housing estate. Now that would be ironic following our much publicised town village green problems.
