Bristol Rob Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Given Wally refuses to write a cheque so small as to pay for a stadium, I assume that at some point they will have to sell the Mem to part fund their new one. Won't this lead to another couple of years delay as planning permission, objections and community status claims are all made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe if enough Bristolians make their feelings known about the plans of Bristol Rovers towards a war memorial then perhaps the Ministry will take notice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the service and parade is held at the Cenotaph in the city centre, but this area is being remodelled for Metrobus. The directors of Bristol Rovers FC, who own the Memorial Ground, have kindly offered to host the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charliesboots Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) The plan is............... There is no plan. He has no money, his family will not front him the money, he cannot raise the funds. Even more so now the currency markets and stock markets have bombed, nobody wants to lend to a minor - insignificant football club. "Thousand Foot Bargepole" is the most overused comment. How do I know this? Numerous associates in the City have been approached and revel in telling me knowing I take a passing interest in a shambles of a (and I put this loosely) 'football club'. Oh and a very disgruntled, senior figure who's at the end of their wits with the situation. As a fan of football, I urge once again their supporters have to start asking very searching questions, it's going to end badly.
