Even more ridiculous that SL would go into a commoners car park. He would have used the chopper or the Lear jet.

Absolutely. A helicopter to The Queen`s private helipad at Windsor Castle and a chauffeur driven Rolls to the executive entrance would be de rigeur for a man of his standing.

I find it amusing how the sags really will find the positives in everything they see. 

There can be nothing positive about having a charging order placed on your only asset. 

Perhaps they think that, at a moment's notice, they can change the charging order to a standing order or direct debit...maybe a postal order....

I think it sounds perfectly believable that SL spent "hours" chatting "about **** all" with a complete stranger, whilst out with his grand kids at an all day attraction. Mind you, the grand kids were clearly busy terrorising other patrons, as there is no way that SL would have stretched to priority queue jump tickets for them. 

Then he'd have obviously met back up with the aforementioned stranger to walk back to their cars together. Amazing really how they also happened to be parked close by. 

Then, on discovering the strangers alleigence to Rovers, the only rational think to do would be to slate his own investment and heap praise on pretty much the only sporting set up in Bristol that he doesn't support or follow. I'm sure we'd all have done that in his position. 

Then, after receiving such humble, self critical and generous appraisal, of course, the only reasonable response from the stranger would be to reply with an aggressive, confrontational retort, before running away. 

Actually, the last bit, I do believe..!

Windass gave it the 'do you know who I am' in Chasers and got a slap, fact. Gas friends were there and saw it.

He also gave it the 'cave man' outside and took a bit of a kicking. Yes, it was the night that he was guest speaker at a crappy r**ers event in the old Kingswood legion.

It's not the same thing at all!

The rosy cheeked Lady Garden, aka Saint Sir Steve, the Duke of Guernsey, deliberately moved his domicile to the Channel Islands with the express intent of avoiding paying as much UK income tax as possible. After all, the poor chap is only worth about £1 billion, we can't expect the poor dear to do the same as everyone else and pay his rightful dues, taxes are only for the poor, not the mega rich.

As a result of his disgraceful tax dodging, he has limited access to the UK and can only spend so many days per year here. Dwane Sports is an entirely different entity, as are the AlQuadi family. They are Jordanian citizens and pay their taxes to the Jordanian government. They are therefore free to come and go in this country as they please, and no doubt have the necessary visas so to do. Dwain Sports is no doubt an entirely loss making enterprise, and would therefore incur no tax liabilities if based in the UK.

Reading the mammoth Gas thread on One Turd it becomes apparent the Shitheads are totally obsessed with Rovers. Some of the swamp-dwellers are even stalking the Al Quadi family, carrying out Companies House checks on everything Rovers related.

They really are showing signs of mental breakdown. They should chill and concent ate on their own club. And what's their continued obsession with Tampax? He's gone. He used you to progress to the next level. He's going to play in the Prem. YOU MEAN NOTHING TO HIM!

PS.

I seem to remember that one of the conditions set by UWE before they entered into a contract to build the stadium was that Rovers put the Mem up as collateral, to insure they wouldn't lose out if for some reason the project failed. Perhaps this charge has been laid to facilitate that.

 

PS.

No your are wrong

Sainsbury was going to buy the mem and the money would pay for the build at UWE , And let you stay there until it was built.

your new owner was sold a dream 

Thinking he would pay off debt and also get a free new ground.

 

HIggs the hustler found his mark and pulled him in

 

All you gas heads rember you won't get something for nothing 

 

uwe we will not happen

you won't get a good budget 

dopy only sign a five year deal to keep you lot thinking all is good

when you struggle this year he be sacked and happy days you got to pay him.

So far you had the ship that won't sink,  the landing lights, 

whats next.  It's a leep year August 

 

 

I don't believe it, I try to point out that things may not be completely rosey in their "progressive" garden and I am accused of stalking.  In future I will let them find out for themselves the hard way.  No doubt I will then be accused of gloating......

Has anyone been over to their forum yet to see if they are upset and bitter that Wally is yet to spend his billions on anyone, or do they still believe that evolution strategy is genuine and doesn't translate to 'I have no money'.

[bert tann]

Don’t worry yourselves about transfer fees the big buzz word these days is infrastructure and this is where we are going to catch and overtake you.

Our ambitious plans for the new training ground at Almondsbury place a huge emphasis on environmental protection alongside daring architectural innovation and revolutionary construction methods. A wide variety of plant is already evident on site and drivers passing by on the M5 will be amazed at the myriad of docks, nettles, thistles and dandelions scattered across this state of the art landscape.

A striker they had on loan scores zero goals in 23 games... and they've just put a bit in for him...?! 

Since leaving Hartlepool in 2014, he's scored 2 (TWO) goals in 84 games!

Apparently they have a top 6 budget this season. Blackburn have just spent 750k on Dack and brought in Gladwin on an undisclosed deal.

Rovers won't even get close to spending half that much in total.

Some of them take the piss out of us for spending big money. Well it should serve as yet another wake up call of how far behind they are and I don't mean us specifically.

£5m is a relatively small figure in the current climate and just goes to show how much the gulf is widening season on season between the leagues.
