Drivel ? ….. is that a Bristolian term for a person who occasionally sits behind the wheel of a mini-bus? (as opposed to full time professional drivers.) Weird how we add 'Ls' to the end of so many words around these parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. There are three things going on and it isn't clear firstly whether any will happen and secondly to what extent they are connected. Buy and redevelop the fruit market site including, but very much not limited to, a football ground. Sale and / or redevelop the Memorial Ground. Sale of the football club. They can all happen independently: new developers build on the fruit market site and include a football ground, Al Qs exercise their charge on the Mem and build on it, group of local businessmen buy the football club without a ground. If you structure it like that then you can see it as being a reasonable plan; though it would leave Rovers renting a ground at the fruit market rather than owning a ground.

I think this became the inevitable outturn when UWE failed; the level of internal debt accumulated since that happened now comfortably exceeds the value of the Memorial ground so it will have to be sold. Some wealthy local businessmen, maybe even Higgs again, will buy the football club without the ground and Rovers will go back to Twerton. I don't know any Rovers fans these days but maybe, as with Brexit, it woud be better to just get it over with so that they can move on. They certaiinly need a change of ownership or you can see them going down the same road as Coventry.

If you are going to do it properly you probably need to be looking at close to £50m and you wouldn't want that to be more than around 10% of your personal wealth. People with that kind of wealth don't suddenly appear from nowhere, there would already be rumours and suggestions in the air. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
