reddogkev Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Am I the only one a little disappointed Rovers haven't signed anyone for a fair chunk of money yet? I hoped they might just threaten to become a rival again - sometimes it is so tedious being the dominant team in a large city, without any competition whatsoever, dating back as long as I can remember. Sigh, I guess City will never have anyone local to truly challenge them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Not sure if this has been mentioned before but, I think they are now definitely trying to involve the local authority. There have been a few references to how good this will be to the South Glos area and discussions with the local council. If I was a resident of South Glos I'd be posing questions to my council officers and councillors. Typical of this club to try and get somebody else to supply them with the stadium "they deserve". They tried it with BCC in the nineties and even formed their own political party to fight against BCC at the local elections, in an attempt to force the council to get them their ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However in this case, where you are looking for positive news that progress is being made, no news is most definitely not good news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert tann Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 My Middle East sources tell me an Arab investment firm is bankrolling the freehold purchase of the UWE site and stadium construction cost. They have never let me down since correctly predicting the start of the 1967 six-day war featuring Mervyn, Graham, Jason, Robin, Doris and Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider_boy Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Only the gas could make a big announcement to say there is no announcement. Also loving that all their other announcements at the moment are that they are managing to resign some of their own players, and the gas fans are creaming themselves about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 The problems have finally become clear with regards to the Rovers relocation. Not overly dissimilar to their failed attempt to them failing to move to Jerusalem on account of a lack of wise men and Virgins, the move to UWE was going to require fans to hold a minimum of 4 GCSE qualifications (grade C or above) before entry was granted. Whilst they celebrate a lock-out more than most, Wally has a concern that with millions locked out and no one inside the stadium the numbers might not stack up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS2 Red Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 I'm slightly disappointed at this news as I can't wait to get them out of Bristol and it looks like that isn't going to happen until they start ground sharing with Yate Town.
