bert tann Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Gasheads who are sceptical about Mr Al-Qadi's ability to personally pay the club's monthly staff costs of £ 500 000 must be unaware that his annual dividend income from AJIB last year was close to £ 600 000.

Jim Davey Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 9 hours ago, Gazred said: The comments are worth a read as well.... Sean Davidson I think the plans are good but we should put the capacity to 20,000 because i am shor that on big games we have at home we could easly have that amount. because if you look at the johnstone paint final and the play off final we had 40,000 ish so if we choose to upgrad the capacity of the pains I think it would be a grate ider not just as a bristol rovers fan but as a bristol rugby fan! dan govier i think the capacity should be 20,000 as of how many went to cardif and wembley. the nicer and bigger the stadium more fans will whant to come.And the club will get more money so we can bring in better players to the team. josh i think its a great idea cuz weve been playing in crap stadiums for ages. were a good club its time we have a good stadium Even back then though, they still had that rare one that comes along now and again switched on... rovers till i die we dont sell out enough 4 a new and bigger ground thought they only took 25000ish to their play off final.

Our former director Mr Turner (previously a business partner of Amos Brearly) told a packed AGM that the London office was costing the club £ 250 000 per year. It has now apparently been closed but since it's existence was always shrouded in mystery we can't really be sure of that and it could still be functioning surreptitiously disguised as a launderette.
