Barrs Court Red Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Bad times, I knOw a few good people that work there. This rumour has been around for Ages though, and I think a few were shocked when the extent of their debt was revealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 If its true, then id imagine they would be trying there hardest to hold off going into administration til the seasons over....-10pts is a death sentance at this stage in their season.

Jordan Tansley Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I think Lansdown should buy the Mem from them and kick them out, leasing it perminantly to the rugby club and banishing the gas to cheltenham or wherever else. they "allegedly" tried to steal AG in 1982... why not take the chance to exact some revenge.

II Wurzel II Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Dont want to see them fold as I love the banter too much, so a 10pt deduction would be perfect. Thats my feeling, if they went bust theres no one to laugh at. A nice 10 point deduction this season, relegation and then a good old struggle at the foot of Div 2 would be perfect.

cityloyal473 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Don't believe its true for one minute, if they were in that much trouble they wouldn't have sanction all the loans signings they have had in recently, they also would have sold Bob Hoskins in the window, wishful thinking sadly .. however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRobins666 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 This news made my day. I hope they get a 10 point deduction when they're in League Two. Would be funny if Lansdown brought the Mem, and the Sags would have to go back to Twerton! Also, going down to League Two will lose money too. Then they'll have to sell Hoskins. Happy Days!

cityloyal473 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 They have run out of cash. Nick Higgs is paying the salaries out of pocket - his own words. I believe they have up-coming liabilities to HMRC, so maybe this rumour has some legs. Death is too good for them though ... a long period of rotting away first would do just fine.

Jordan Tansley Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Nothing alleged about it. Long before my time was 1982, so I didn't want to be factually incorrect as it's not something I know too much about. However, someone should write to Steve! we could present it as Steve wanting to help fund Bristol Sport by giving BRFC the money to survive whilst garunteeing the long term future of Bristol Rugby... then just kick them out and give it back to the Rugger club!!! the more I think about this the more I like it, Serves them right for their lack of support over the new stadium and everything else they've done... Karma is a bitch, and Revenge is a dish best served cold! Give the fans something to laugh about Steve, destroy them under the pretence of helping!!

I myself want to hope they do not go under and keep up the rivalry which has been there all my life and I would honestly miss if they did dissapear... On the other hand though...........the possible financial gain of being truly the ONE TEAM IN BRISTOL is something not to be ignored...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, can never forgive what they tried to do, it's a shame Bristol Rugby are in such a bad state as it would be the perfect time for them to reclaim their home. Stuff it, buy the Mem, let Bristol use it until Ashton Vale is open and let them groundshare with us for a feww and then Bulldoze the mem for houses, modern pitches can handle football and rugby. They have run out of cash. Nick Higgs is paying the salaries out of pocket - his own words. I believe they have up-coming liabilities to HMRC, so maybe this rumour has some legs. If they have ANY debt whatsoever, they MUST MUST MUST pay the HMRC, they got majorly shafted by us in 82 and have been on the heals of football clubs ever since because of us, thankfully we have a wise man at the helm and they are the first people we pay each year. Long Term, whether it is now or later, Rovers are stuffed, Bristol can't sustain two clubs in modern climate and with City established in this division and getting to play the likes of Newcastle, West Brom, Boro and anyone else who's come down from the prem in a decent stand, young fans aren't going to be interested in watching Rovers in a crap ground getting beat by the likes of Brighton and Rochdale. It's just a matter of time, I'll be honest, it is sad though....I do miss the odd derby game and every season I do hope we get them in the first round of the league cup....when they qualify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
