Then they’ve got the converted portaloo Santa’s Grotto and the condemned toilet block. What more do they want?! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure that this will provide much of a deterrent for one of the richest clubs in the country. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62392726 I know every club has them, but my god it seems like every week something like this happens with the gappers.

Oldie, FGR were the Champions of your league last season so by definition are better than you, they have a really forward thinking owner who's building a new ground for them & even coped with losing their manager to a team recently relegated from the Premier League. Listening to Sagheads over the Summer you’d be forgiven for thinking they ran away with L2 last season. They seem to forget that they were third best behind 2 bigger Westcountry clubs. 27 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pic 2) Too many teeth to be an authentic sag. Pic 3) Confirmed: that's its Grandma. Pic 4) where's the foaming at the mouth?

Permission grated at the rugby ground after nobbling the committee. Permission granted for UWE after they proved it was needed, by inflating the attendance at Wembley, where grandparents, little children friends and their pets were al cajolled into pretending they were regulars.

With the exception of the plan to get Sainsbury’s to buy the Mem so they could fund a move to UWE, none of their other plans have ever stacked up financially. They don’t ever get beyond the planning permission stage. BCC (& South Glos) are keen to help them if they can, the latter because they would love a FL club in their patch, the former due to the high number of Gas in prominent positions within the organisation.

Wasn't there something about the facilities being used when they weren't playing, but all profit went to UWE and not the sags? Same with sales like food and drink, sags saw no money from it?

I think that was more a case of 'if it's repeated often enough on the Internet, it becomes true' - a bit like the weekly wage of a player. I don't imagine the unagreed contract was ever in the public domain so suggestions of how revenue would have been split would be no more than speculation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with sales like food and drink, sags saw no money from it? Or was that one of their many other supposed new stadiums? I believe you're correct. The trouble with the sags is that a former chairman went on record on a previous pipe dream stating that they only need the facility for one day a week if someone was to build [& pay for] it for them. So I think UWE would've been like Coventry's Ricoh or like their old dump at Eastville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely not? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
