bert tann Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 A few months ago the "kid in the riot" suggested that land at The Memorial Stadium was to be sold for building and that this would effectively "save the Rovers". Many of us wondered how such a plan could possibly work because any profit from the sale of a segment of land would only be sufficient to pay off MSP Capital and so the other debt and dereliction would remain. But now new theories are surfacing which could explain what is to happen. It appears that the whole of the site may be sold thus allowing MSP Capital and Nicholas and his cohorts all to have their money repaid leaving a few millions (single figures) for Rovers to contribute a small share towards the cost of building a scaled down and "economy" version of a UWE Stadium which would effectively be owned by third parties. To many Rovers supporters this is a nightmare scenario because their dream of a showpiece stadium, owned by the club, would be shattered and the landlord tenant situation would once again return. Even worse, in their eyes, Nicholas & Co would continue running the football club in their own inimitable style. However, there is always a silver lining and so as promised the revised scheme would bring a significant boost to the economy of North Bristol and South Gloucestershire. Led by the increased prosperity of garden shed manufacturers and purveyors of rosettes and rattles, 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To lose one stadium, Mr Higgs, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose two looks like carelessness.

Led by the increased prosperity of garden shed manufacturers and purveyors of rosettes and rattles, A friend of mine is the chairman of FC United of Manchester. They have just moved into a brand new stadium that they built, own and paid for. It is astonishing that a club can appear literally as a result of a chat in the pub and do this whilst the heroes of Horfield are doing the reverse (i.e. frittering away a stadium they (stole) owned. If I was a gashead (Thank you Lord!), I would be ashamed when I contrasted my team with FCUM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right though I didn't see your post, the Pennie Smith image is brilliant. Shame I can't find the interview where she says she didn't really like it as it was blurry ! Wonder if she feels the same now, with prints going for about £4k. You know it's an iconic image when Micky Mouse copies it !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
