  1. You believe what Higgs says? Deary me. No chance of building work starting as early as May, so I've heard.
  2. Yep, I know - same with the teaching space I think. As I've said before Roverzzz take all non-matchday revenue from the stadium, which is also a good deal - considering they had nothing to start with! Forget about the 125 year lease - the lifetime of the stadium will only be 50-60 years, then need redeveloping/rebuilding.
  3. I think Nigel Farage is to politics what Audrey Harrison is to boxing. People's Champions don't get ridiculed!
  4. I see the EU are banning mobile phone roaming charges from next year - great news for people like me who nip over to Europe a fair bit. I heard Farage the other day say "don't worry, leaving the EU won't mean you won't be able to buy your Mercedes and Champagne from Europe" - sums the bloke up perfectly and who he's appealing to.
  5. 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...
  6. Something else I found out, UWE will still own the freehold on the ground with Roverzzz taking on an approximate 100 year lease, so you're still rent boys ;-)
  7. I did warn them last week...don't celebrate until close of play tomorrow. Seems the Green Party are now distancing themselves from the process: http://daniellaradice.org/2014/03/26/trashorfield/
  8. Port Vale aren't making the play-offs, no way. They're only 7 pts ahead of us, have lost 4 more games than us and have a worse goal difference. Their current form is below par and their away record ain't all that with 11 defeats. This should be a very winnable game for us.
  9. Even a genius like SC will have his off days I suppose Nick Nothing laughable about it BTW as I had money on the City win...ah well, win, lose on the booze.
  10. Flint & El Bad out and Nosworthy & Paterson in = stop conceding goals = win.
  11. Get in, decided to lump some money on City after seeing that line up
  12. Osborne and Nuggsy pairing at the back. Good luck with that COLU. Happy with that team, should win.
  13. No worries as a desso pitch is being installed this summer. Doesn't seem to effect Swansea City, QPR etc
  14. Chelsea 3 Arsenal 0. Surely Wenger's reign is coming to an end, they're simply not moving forward anymore.
  15. What is the "plan" bit? Is there a broader plan other than just building a new stadium and hoping for the best? Genuinely interested.
  16. Roverzzz will receive ALL non-matchday revenue from the UWE stadium. How much you can actually make out of impoverished students on pound-a-pint nights is another matter... The stadium will have a shit load of new housing (Cheswick Village) on its doorstep though so one assumes theyll be other opportunities...
  17. Can't see R*vers ever needing 26k let alone 35k. UWE have given them the land on the condition that it will always be called "UWE Stadium" and R*vers can't sell the naming rights. They're not renting. Bristol City on the other hand are technically tenants of Ashton Gate Ltd as I understand it.
