Chris Brown originally posted re UWE falling through months before it actually happened, and then broke the story when it did happen, forcing Rovers to put out a statement at 11:30pm. I’m hoping he’s spot on again. Edited February 21, 2023 by Marcus Aurelius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t it be good to see their faces and listen to their reactions as they enter the concourse. What do you think their first comments would be?

"Wael will now surely realise BCC and all their cohorts are anti BRFC. I just hope Wael does not throw in the towel and move on from dealing with this toxic protest central city." I assume he means Bristol City Council who - to the best of my knowledge - have never turned down any planning application for a new stadium from either football club, or maybe he means the Bristol City Council who don't own or have any commercial interest in the site they were hoping to get this new stadium built and therefore aren't remotely responsible for the sell, development or funding for this venture. And the very same BCC who sponsored their bloody club via Bristol Energy. You have to be a moron of epic proportions to think BCC are anti-gAss but that's gAssholes for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too unhappy as always felt it is a rubbish location to get to. South Gloucestershire council are Pro us, there must be a bit of land available that we can use. We need plenty of parking, and let the fans drink in a stadium bar to maximise revenue." Couldn’t they hijack the arena at filton , think that holds 10,000 enough for the gas and 3,000 away fans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned on other threads I don’t know of an area which they have as a stronghold , Frampton cotterill , coalpit heath maybe , possibly Cadbury Heath that’s about it I would say . there old strongholds ie Yate Kingswood Hanham all very much city now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that means is that he's removing the tarp from the top of what's there because they realised they could take it back to Go Outdoors for a refund. So the seats will just be uncovered. And as for Ground Improvements, this will likely end up being them pressure washing the decking that the seats are on...though knowing them they'll just concentrate on Row M.....!

Said this before, if they were really serious then they could develop the Mem one stand at a time, in a smaller version of what we did. They don’t have the money to do so, though.

Bristol Rob Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 The Fewers best chance of success is getting a new stadium that neither club can claim a strong-hold of support in. They've obviously now acknowledged that most areas of Bristol are 'City' and that the Fewers are very much a minority (which is why their plans to increase gate receipts is to sell more tickets to visiting fans.....) Therefore, for them to grow they need to attract new support. Choose your planet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
