The question came about after Mike Parry on TalkSport said that it made sense for Bristol to have only one club..........He was just doing his job that’s all............ I always say a merger would never happen for the same reason Tesco would not merge with Mr Patel's corner shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveybadger Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Can SL just sell the Bears and buy the mighty Gloucester RFC instead? No rugby markings on the AG pitch and my rugby lot get some much needed cash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, Roverrzz have their own “billionaire owner” already, don’t they? Hi Graham. Juliette said you haven't returned her calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nugget Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 The Hargreaves foundation as someone has said does invest in sport & education to some degree. But it’s more for the disadvantaged, could never see it happening but it’s a great scheme, I know a local school that got some brilliant help.

When Wael bought Rovers even London stood up and took notice, they sent Garth Crooks West (with his pith helmet an machete in hand) to ask pertinent questions.. "can I call you el presidente?" and.. "you could have bought ANY football club in Britain, why Bristol Rovers?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 I'm not sure anyone who would see Rovers as a good investment, would have made any serious money to invest in the first place..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 As mentioned before, the Bath Rugby ownership of Brube Craig backed up by James Dyson are wealthier that Steve Lansdown by some margin so that is never a starter. As for the gas, balls to them, let them fester in their self glorifying, deluded shit pit of crappness until they inevitably go bust. I can only assume those advocating assisting them with our young players are relatively young. Personally, I wouldn't loan them the steam off my piss!

He’s worth 3 to 4 billion so he doesn’t give a s*& t about sport. He’s just looking for another money earner. He should look at donating some of his money to the people that have lost almost everything in the pass couple of months with COVID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 For someone who doesn’t have an interest in sport, I’d say that Rovers would be the ideal fit for Hargreaves. As far as Bristol United is concerned, why would you merge with a weaker club to make a club that’s weaker/worse than City? I can understand Rovers supporters suggesting this, but City supporters? That would be deliberately sabotaging your own club. I don’t understand why this makes sense in an way whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 I seem to remember Hargreaves enjoys horse racing doesn't he? Maybe I've imagined that. If he's in to equine sports, I can't see him having any interest in the horse punchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
