Southport Red Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 3 hours ago, 22A said: Good news for the Rovers' finances and all joking aside. With yesterday's announcement about League 2 finishing as it stands; next season (whenever that is) Rovers get derbies against Plymouth & Swindon. Exeter & Cheltenham will be in the pay offs, so maybe a third derby game as well. Yes, perhaps three games next year where the crowd will be up to 8,000. Don't understand why they lock 20,000 out when there is usually only 6,500 INSIDE. Seems daft 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Wally, they`ll be in their new stadium at the fruit market by then - it must be nearly finished now I should think. 20k plus every week assured! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely - as they told us, they’ve ‘outgrown the Mem’ (despite never having actually filled it! ) and Wally promised them the Fruit Market - I’m sure it will be Wycombe Wanderers’ fault when it doesn’t happen ...

Popular Post bert tann Posted May 17, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 THE DISAPPEARED Between 2016 and 2020 the majority of senior figures at Bristol Rovers FC vanished without trace leaving families mystified and fans completely unaware. Now, after minutes of painstaking research, former manager B J Tann has pieced together their harrowing tale. In his explosive best seller we learn how these innocent people were awakened by a midnight knock on the tent flap then whisked away to a patch of wasteland near Almondsbury never to be seen again. In the lower league football business asset refinancing activities are considered especially heinous. And when an elite group of dedicated executives attempted to expose such injustices they were made to pay a fearsome price. These are their stories. Michael Cunnah Stadium Expert Successfully implemented Wembley plan but found to be hopeless with a blank canvas Lee Atkins Mergers & Acquisitions Specialist Allegedly merged with a block of cement Will Dubey Football Analyst Analysis of dental records showed his appointment was purely cosmetic Steve Brookfield Finance Director Accused of conspiring to add up Mike Turner Director of Legal Affairs Caught soliciting on Stapleton Road Stephen Hamster Chairman Knew Too Much (Too Much was later discovered shot dead in the Total Produce Ltd car park) Ken Masters Fans Director Found in possession of Head & Shoulders with a street value of £10 000 Martyn Starnes CEO Fell overboard from his gravy boat and drowned in a sea of debt Nominated for the Booker Cash & Carry Prize. Chosen as book of the month by the INLA SUNDAY TIMES “Middle East politics played out in the sleepy suburbs of Bristol” DAILY MAIL ‘A gripping read, but why didn’t we find out how much their houses are worth ?” FILTON AVENUE RESIDENTS NEWSLETTER “They were such nice people, we never thought anything like this could happen on our street” DALTONS WEEKLY “Remit within 7 days or your advertisement will be cancelled” BRISTOL POST ‘ He’s still a lovely bloke” 2 1 18 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It`s always nice to see these little teams making a go of it when they do achieve league status. I bet when they were a Conference side they could only dream of the heady heights of mid table League 1 so well done them! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you do them a disservice. Let's not forget that before all the Coronavirus effects took hold, they'd had 600 (six HUNDRED) people splash their hard earned JSA on a season ticket for next season...! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse than that, for a 'loyal and true' group of supporters who go missing in huge numbers when they have a run of bad form, when it comes to forecasting their revenue for the coming season, they'll do well to stay within any sort of FFP guidelines. I can't believe only about a 7th of their support are signed up and the rest are pay on the day. Tinpot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Wally will invest another camel or two to tide them over. Meanwhile, values for property and land post COVID-19 could easily be 20% lower putting him well into the realms of negative equity.

Very good point and I suspect the residential market will be worst hit. Probably negative pre Covid-19 but made worse now.
