Up The City! Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Am I correct in thinking this 350k is an interim payment and not the full amount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprocket Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 The gas now denying that they were offered 1.5 mil by Sainsbury's, this becoming like a Blott on the landscape by Tom Sharpe. Pigg`s as Sir Giles then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert tann Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) Here we go ! All debts are paid, Nicholas gets his money back and Rovers are tenants again. Don't worry about those revenue streams they are all water under the bridge now. UWE Seek Permission To Build 15,000 Stadium Vital Gas understand that UWE have spoken to South Gloucestershire Council about building their own Stadium on their land. Its understood that UWE have spoken about downsizing the plans to make it a 15,000 all seater stadium instead of the 21,700 that Rovers hoped to build, but they will have scope to expand the stadium at a later date. Its not clear if UWE have spoken to Rovers yet, but its a possibility that Rovers will be asked to become tenants if the Council approve. Just yesterday Rovers were give permission to appeal the High Court ruling that allowed Sainsbury's to pull out of a deal to buy the club's Memorial Stadium.

Guest Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Mem sold, Directors paid off and Rovers become tenants. Sounds like a potential time bomb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmabbuttshair Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Surely even those dumb arsed freaks cannot be thick enough to accept becoming tenants again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 99.9% of the voyage was iceberg-free. "Well apart from that, Mrs Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 To think, they were gonna do up the Mem to 15k how many years ago? Surely it would be preferable to revisit those plans than to literally lose the one peice of security the club has? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately most of their usually intellectually challenged fans on 'Gas Shat' seem to have realised this... If this happened Basement Rovers would effectively be renting off a charity. They will have finally found their level... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 If Gas fans put up with that proposal they are more stupid than we give them credit for. They have a stadium asset (regardless of how they got it) and to trade that in for housing and then a rental agreement? Even they aren't stupid enough to take that without a fight.

Don't panic - spin doctor Nicky Piggs is all over it. By the time he's finished rental will be the new ownership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
