I suppose that instantly falls to the wayside once the possibility of a large investment comes along. The reality is, if you want higher level football in a shiny new stadium, your going to need that investment. Well moving to Bath and trying to move to South Glos kind of puts to bed their "traditional club" crap.

Exactly this. They hate 'Sugardaddies' who throw money at clubs, even Lansdown who is a local businessman and supporter. It's not because they're bitter..oh no..its because they are a 'real' club with 'real' supporters whilst we are the plastic 'plaything' of a wealthy man who will **** off with all his money any day now despite investing millions in a stadium redevelopment. There is no way that they would allow their club to be taken over by a 'Sugardaddy'....you won't ever find Gasheads getting all excited about the possibility of a foreign investor (who could shaft them if it all goes wrong) trying to buy them success....never! 1 hour ago, Sniper said: It's all in here Samo; http://gaschat.co.uk/thread/5872/end-game ....oh, hang on a minute, forget that.

YorkshireSection Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) If this does happen then they should follow suit of Bradford, comparatively large stadium to the Gas' new project, sell the season tickets for £100per season, it'd pack the place out week in week, week out and bring in new supporters. In all honesty we may have to do a similar scheme £150ish if/when we get relegated to get the place rocking and get some new support, I'm aware of the financial implications but get them hooked on a cheap product, which will rise accordingly to promotion etc. Edited February 13, 2016 by YorkshireSection 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Now they've dropped out of the playoff zone, the rumor is they deal is in jeopardy. Apparently Higgs was going to take the patio furniture with him, but now they are lower in the league the consortium want him to leave it behind. The takeover has already been subject to difficult negotiations, the stumbling block being the 'festive grotto' - neither wanted it and there wasn't enough in the kitty for waste disposal experts to collect it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert tann Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 The locusts are gathering over Horfield this morning with news that Nicholas is in A Man. No funny business though he is merely crossing the i's and dotting the t's of his agreement with HH Prince Ali. At a press conference tomorrow it will be announced that the Red C has been parted and Rovers will soon be in our promised land at the summit of Bristol's football pyramid.

BCFC Jordan Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Every time I go on their forum there's threads hundreds of pages long about a takeover but I've heard nothing about it whatsoever. Surely some media sources would have at least reported that a potential takeover could be taking place. Is there any substance to it at all?
