Lanterne Rouge Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 6 minutes ago, fgrsimon said: and the funniest thing about that thread is that the OP is praising the team for only conceding 1 at Hartlepool! Imagine how far you have to fall and lower your expectations to consider that losing 1-0 at Hartlepool, just returned from Non-League, is a good result. No offence to Hartlepool intended of course. Obviously it was their cup-final to have the privilege of even playing such a massive and famous club as Bristol Rovers and they must have raised their game faced with the overwhelming atmosphere generated by the 300-odd away supporters! I just don't get the sense of entitlement their supporters have. They seem to think they are somehow "special". I think most City fans wouldn't think we're anything special, just an under achieving team, from a big city with reasonably loyal supporters, which has achieved the square root of f. all in 120 odd years. And for the vast majority of that time they've played second fiddle to City. So I can kind of understand the bitterness but not the 'us supporters deserve so much better" thing. But, but they took three times as many as the stadium actually holds to Wembly.............................................................

Rudolf Hucker Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 It is not the responsibility for the Barton out gang to come up with a decent replacement. It ain't our job. We as fans can only comment and debate about them. I am not keen on Sol Campbell either but I would take him in a heartbeat over JB. I actually think taking Brian Tinnion and Scott Murray as a team to sort us out would do better than JB and be less divisive too than JB. Ok, ok, I went too far there but that is how low down I rate JB's managerial ability and chances to turn things around. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 A couple of interesting events from Companies House. Dwane Developments UK - the one Hani stepped down from leaving Wael as sole director has been dissolved by compulsory strike off which takes effect tomorrow. The reason isn't stated but it looks like failure to file a Confirmation statement. This was a dormant company which looked like it would br used to develop The Colony's additional land; it only had £1 sitting on it so no big deal. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/11253528 Far more interestingly however: Rovers have the same corporate structure as most football clubs, including us, with a holidng company (BRFC 1883 in their case) owning separately the football club (BRFC) and the ground (the Memorial Stadium co.). Plus they had three tiny companies - Filton something - that were there for the sale of the ground and move to UWE which didn't happen. Now amazingly there is a first notice of compulsory strike off against the Memorial Stadium Company: For failing to file accounts: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/03536554/filing-history And this is no dormant company. It owns the ground, fully depreciated so showing as zero in the accounts, and £900k of assets. If it's dissolved then all of that goes to the Crown though the charge upon the Ground may affect that. There was ten weeks between first notice and compulsory sign-off for Dwane Developments so this should be similar. All they need to do to stop that is file the accounts. How hard can it be? Though the clock is now ticking and the shambolic nature of the Rovers' back office team continues to astound me as they have been repeatedly fined for late filing of accounts. Maybe they will be sufficiently incompetent that the ground does to the Crown. Maybe the Crown will then sell it to Sainsbury's. Bunch of clowns. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is their back office now made up entirely of unpaid interns or something? Mind you the last thing HMQ needs is to have Joey Barton on her payroll. She's got enough legal trouble with Andrew as it is. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife (the Company Secretarial Administrator) says that there are no charges against the ground anymore, all charges are currently satisfied? There is an interesting note in the Bristol Rovers 1883 and Dwane Sports files that suggest that the £15m loan that has been put into the club has accrued £2.1m in interest so far.

The £10m fixed charge in favour of Dwane Sports set up on takeover in 2017 is live and is the only remaining charge upon the ground. She may be looking at the land registry title which, unsurpisingly, Dwane Sports may not have bothered to update. To be fair that's a faff as I used to have to do some of those. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/04501223/charges/wSc2Sf8fS_sfvZmboWRkEEkZX6Q 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going through their operating losses and the changes in the last year makes grim reading. He would need to be the billionaire that the Gasheads thought he was to maintain those kind of losses. His family are not going to be very forgiving if he loses all his daddy's inheritance in this venture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my job and I am very lucky to cover such a huge club and fanbase. It would make me very happy to see Rovers do well. If anything, I'm sorry, because my time covering Rovers – so far – has been cursed! I hope that changes fast. How can he spout that garbage with a straight face ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
