You have more confidence in us than most City fans 

you see things differently from the outside looking in i guess that and i dont actually see your lot play

agreed robbo ..... & your points v Newcastle and at Norwich on Tuesday may come in very useful , i'm not on here chirping about your situation (never been my way on here ) personally think you will stay up .. can see u getting the win tomorrow and once you get 1 it will lift the place ....  Rotherham ,Wolves & Wigan to go is my thoughts.... don't get me wrong id love to see you down there but think you just have enough to get out of it ...

all the way down on page 5 !... now now i know your having a bad time at the mo but.....

Still no sign of Rich ... must be gathering evidence ....

Tom...

Allow me to elucidate...

You once ran the Queens Head...

Hope this helps.

Thanks you for at least proving why my world is a little hazy at times

God someone got out of bed the wrong side this morning! Touched a nerve have I? Anyways you still havn't answered my question, Have you swapped the naming rights for 125 years for a lease of the land for 125 years? Estimates I've read on here value the land at 8 million, spread over 125 years that's 64k a year roughly and you wont ever see a penny of that.

i dont know the answer ... thats why i havent answered.. no nerve touched my friend... now u'd best get going from pathway that traffics horrendous on the ring road!!

edit

appears your answer has been given by KITR

Talking about plans, i think I've asked previously - do Roverzzz have one? Aside from building a new stadium and hoping for the best? ie Academy, training facilities etc??

 

Despite what the Nick Griffin lookalike says, you'll move to UWE with debt and if the team remains shite and the crowds don't come then in a larger stadium with higher maintenance and running costs the debt will continue to rise...

that what worries Me KITR

will prob be same old same old, but we can but hope!!

at least with this stadium someone else might show some interest

You think it will be an improvement but if I was you I would rather stay at the memorial ground. Good location with Glos Road nearby, a traditional stadium where you can stand and the pasties as top notch.

Unfortunatly your new stadium will be completely stripped down and built on the cheap and will be a souless bowl and once again you wont even own it! You didn't answer my previous question about the naming rights, to me it looks as if you have swapped the naming rights for 125 years for a lease on the land for 125 years. You got a bum deal there if that's the case. I'm sure UWE will also enjoy the free teaching space on offer that you wont make a penny on!

oh no... the pasites!!!! your right , what are we thinking off.... 

oh yeah we can still sell those at UWE!!

The Mem is a tip and traffic there is ten times worse you are a just contradicting yourself

let it go

5 minutes maybe if there was a direct path in a straight line. Tell you what next time your on one of your power walks you video it and put it on youtube, then we will know who is right but you wont do that cos you know your wrong.

The point is the area is congested enough, adding a football stadium into it is just madness imo.

Unlike your stadium a lot of City fans do live close by to the ground. This traffic you mention in Bemmy is a myth. I can easily leave the ground at the final whistle walk 5 mins to my car and then be on the portway within 5 mins. Yes there is traffic but it's hardly ever gridlock apart from maybe a sell out but around by our ground there is plenty of places to grab a drink and food etc so the fans arriving is more staggard than it will be at yours.

ok mate , if it suits you your right despite you living elsewher and driving everywhere ,and yes there are ways and means of leaving Ashton gate quickly , you say bemmy isnt busy then go on to say you dont drive that way ..!!!! if you live in North Somerset or out off the portway Ashton gate is great for access the other ways not so good, but thats football traffic for you.... The area around MOD is congested... weekday rush hours especially but 1 oclock on a saturday its okay... now tell me when are most football games held? oh yeah saturdays !!... the 3/4 evening fixtures will be different kettle of fish but even then its ok around 7 ish... im guessing from your name on here you live in Patchway.... drive down that way next saturday about half 1 you'll find its free flowing bar the filton airfield bit! and thats nearer you than the UWE

And basically you wont be going near it bar once a year at best so why worry your little head about it, you've a nice redevelopment of AG to look forward to , it looks a good plan , enjoy it instead of getting all worried about little ol rovers and there traffic congestion and drinking venues

With greatest respect despite my name on here I live in lockleaze it rakes me 5mins to walk to abbey wood stn im about 3 mins fron the bottle it rakes 5/6 mins to bulldog same to new ground site and 15 mins tops to foxden... parson st to the gate is about the same as abbeywoid will be to uwe vis the cycle path route

Good luck with Laycock, isn't that the guy for us who chose Pulis over Moyes? His time at City was rather forgetable. Level playing field are you having a laugh? We will still be miles ahead of you on and off the pitch. Your ground is rubbish and in the most bizzare location there is. Enjoy your pre match pints at Holiday Inn wont you.

the Bulldog, foxden, goldon bottle, new pub in chiswick village , (the gainsbrough poss re opening as well as the king george, so a few options less than 10mins walk for a drink plus huge bar at the stadium, direct rail link at abbeywood, just off the m32 on the ring rd within walking distance of filton, frenchay, northville, lockleaze, horfield .... a bizarre location? hardly

And by leve lplaying field , i mean a stadium with proper facilities and a chance of off field revenue

Sorry meant to add reply ... ive always come on here tried to be respectful and honest... with regards the sale of the ground to amtrak.. your right we will never know ... the fact of matter is the rugby club chose to sell the memorial ground for profit (the ground should never been allowed to be sold at all) the rovers deal the training pitch and land by the centenary stand all of ot was for profit and the time for objections should have been then and carried on ... its sad indeed that amother sports ground is going and one with such strong emotional attachments but at least the gates and a new memorial garden will remain as a reminder and all 3 Bristol sports clubs will soon be playing on stadia fit for purpose ... finally the memorial garden and indeed this whole scheme has the backing of the ex bristol players society and the british legion .. they are about the most important people alive today that are due a real say in all this and if its good enough for them then im ok with it all ....

No one kicked up a fuss because the purpose of the venue remained the same (sporting activity), also the ground was never sold to Amtrak and thus was never developed into something else by that company so you have no idea how people would've reacted at the time. I've put these points to you in the past when you used the same argument but you didn't respond, obviously you're a busy man.

Ultimately Rovers and Sainsburys have gone through the courts and have broken no laws in regards to selling the Mem so what's now done is done. If there ever was a legal document stating that the ground could only be used for sporting activities then the Rugby Club are possibly most guilty if it has been lost. I will always think a sports venue is the best Memorial for sportsmen however the Royal British Legion have given the Memorial Garden their blessing so that's a pretty big thumbs up in anything to do with these matters. We're all entitled to our own opinions obviously.

Rovers will have their new ground, our spiritual home is going to be redeveloped into an impressive sporting venue. I imagine that for the first time in a long time most football fans in Bristol are excited about the future for our clubs. No offence but I think ours looks much better, you will disagree...that's the nature of football fans.

ive heard of some scaling back on the extras till after the ground is open and the 3 sides thing i heard was possible if the appeal went on for another 6 months or more....

as for the post above about giving the rugby club there ground back... they will have left and gone and if a covenant was going to be found i believe it would be already found , the rugby chairman at  the time tried to sell the whole lot to Amtrak and then sold half the 'memorial ground land' for housing ... nobody kicked up a fuss then funnily enough!!

im all for the mem staying as a rugby ground if someone wants to pay what sainsburys are offering ... i believe the rugby club have a very wealthy owner who earnt enough in a few hrs last week to buy it for the rugby club if it is that important to Bristol Rugby?

The fact is it suits Rovers to move , Its suits SL and Bristol Rugby to play at Ashton Gate ... a memorail garden and the gates will remain an important place , its sadly a fact of life that things move on , it would be lovely if somethings didnt like the Mem , but lets get realistic here money rules the world and some need to face it that some on here who claim to care so much about the Memorial Ground disrespect the very place by calling it the Minimal ect ... the arguments abut how rovers aquired the stadium ect have been done .. Rovers own it its theres to sell

I didn't see one post disputing the paranoid non sense about lansdowne funding trash ! if you want to gloat about your out of Bristol plastic bowl, why don't you #### off to your own forum and join the many other #### the shred posts on their !

things getting to u Timmy? theres 401 posts on this thread,  a thread on a city forum about rovers , Uwe , AV , Jr and more ....fairly good chat and with 400 posts  sugest some interest it would seem, if you dont want to read it dont open the thread .. simples ... dont think youll find i was gloating either ...

maybe your have things going on that makes you a little angry and unable to understand things , i hope the rest of your day goes a little better

So SL was nothing to do with funding it then. Embarrassing that so many thought he was.

so many?? i think i was a handfull on the officail forum and twitter , most were told they were barking up the wrong tree quickly enough.... you'll always get conspiracy thoughts in rivalry and Trash claiming to have a benefactor but not naming them just added to it ... most thought it was co op or tesco... now appears Trash prob didnt have anyone and were just being awkward (now there is a surprise

TRASH will not appeal...... Breaking new from BBC on twitter

appears game over for the NIMBYs

UWE Stadium to go ahead

I know for a fact it won't be ready for the first game that season

The stadium in whole wont be yes , the ability to hold a football match is what they are planning for even if 1 end of the stadium isnt ready for example  (according to a person at the very top of the tree of this project)

spoke to someone tonight and Rovers are sure the UWE stadium will be open for the 1st home game of 2015/16... the stadium will be built and fitted out for football 1st& foremost to ensure its ready for that date... conferencing, gym ect can wait a few months for their fit out ect.

Building has to start by late june at the latest for this to happen, 

Buckingham group who are the contractors have a large work force on sight already doing prep work, not the sign of a company who appear worried
