Maybe lots more are going up there, but won’t be going to the game, seeing as it’s the home of their favourite sport. Boob cricket..! This thread needs some culture; from A Shropshire Lad: Why, if 'tis dancing you would be, There's brisker pipes than poetry. Say, for what were hop-yards meant, Or why was Burton built on Trent? Oh many a peer of England brews Livelier liquor than the Muse, And malt does more than Milton can To justify God's ways to man. Ale, man, ale's the stuff to drink For fellows whom it hurts to think: Look into the pewter pot To see the world as the world's not. And faith, 'tis pleasant till 'tis past: The mischief is that 'twill not last. Oh I have been to Ludlow fair And left my necktie God knows where, And carried half way home, or near, Pints and quarts of Ludlow beer: Then the world seemed none so bad, And I myself a sterling lad; And down in lovely muck I've lain, Happy till I woke again. Then I saw the morning sky: Heigho, the tale was all a lie; The world, it was the old world yet, I was I, my things were wet, And nothing now remained to do But begin the game anew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Sorry for being Mr Thicky McThick but I'm struggling to work out where the 12 million quid came from. I get that its a loan from Dwayne Dibley Sports to Bristol Rovers and secured against the value of the mem site should things go boobs north. Where did Dwayne Dibley Sports get the 12 million from? So with Rovers, the AQs paid an initial purchase price to Higgs an Co and then added 12 million on top of that as a loan. So to break even they need to sell for their purchase price but whoever takes the club on must find the money to clear the loan? Is that right?

The £12m that went into Dwane Sports may be Al Qadi family money or another bank loan that they're guaranteeing. We don't know that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 £12 million sounds a lot of money for a campsite and a few donkeys, but the land could have development potential. Now if someone like Sainsbury's would come along and they could spend the money on a joint development with UWE, wouldn't that solve the problem?

The £12m that went into Dwane Sports may be Al Qadi family money or another bank loan that they're guaranteeing. We don't know that one. Right. Got it. Now I see what you mean about two options. Any potential buyer either needs to find Wally's asking price plus have enough money to pay off the outstanding loan which cuts all ties to the AQ family or, the buyer pays the asking price for the club and has to agree a separate arrangement to make loan repayments to the loan holder. The second option is cheaper in the short term but the buyer needs to find the revenue to ensure the loan payments can be made. The second option also represents better profit for Wally and Co since they get back their initial investment plus a bit of profit and make profit on the interest from the loan. If anything, goes wrong for the new buyer the AQs would still have their investment protected against the Mem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red7 Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 A lot of facts, figures, non-facts etc. which is fair enough. But what it all boils down to is that Sags are Sags and, as such, despicable. I, for one, don't like them very much at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 5 at least. Less distraction and more idiotic delusion that anyone would be remotely interested in what a 3rd tier, badly run football team would think about the referendum result. And the “statement” doesn’t even say anything, it’s a non-statement. We should have a vote on the funniest thing Rovers have done over the last 5 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
