Toblerone Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 53 minutes ago, Bristol Rob said: Just had a quick look at gaschat. Apparently their supporters share trust is being wound up. I don't knows the ins and outs of the set up they have, but won't that make the new owner far less accountable? Assume that Wally has a majority holding in the club so could easily bin off any fans representation at a senior level. Would make asset stripping a lot easier. New stadium saddled with external debt, Wally gets to sell the Mem and keep the money offshore and then..'Adios!..' But of course, he won't do that. He once got carried down Gloucester Road. Being a proper Chelsea, sorry, Gillingham no, apologies err, Gas something. He would never do that. Nearly right, the NeaderthalStadion will be asset stripped but there will be no new ground to secure debrs against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted October 7, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Now this did make me laugh Bristol Rovers pride themselves on strict policing fans at the Memorial Stadium to reduce the amount of illegal activity ever occurring at the ground. So far this season the club has already banned two separate groups of fans, for very different reasons. The club's security officer Dave Parker has given details of the bans that have already taken place at the club this season. Read more: Bristol Rovers set out plans for when they want to relocate to proposed new training base He said: "We have already banned a group of eight people up to Christmas, over a smoke grenade that was released during the pre-season game against Aston Villa. "It has been the yellow card approach with them. We have also banned six people who were caught live streaming the match as part of a betting syndicate. "The group has been banned for the rest of the season, their details have been passed to the police. On that front we are one of the leading clubs in the country with cracking down on that issue." Read more: What were the 'security reasons' that left Yeovil Town boss Darren Way bemused at Bristol Rovers? Mr Parker also highlighted what might lead to fans being banned and even life-time bans in some serious cases. Here is a rundown of activity which might lead to some of the most serious punishments: LIFETIME BANS DISCRIMINATORY BEHAVIOUR OR LANGUAGE There is a zero tolerance approach on discrimination. Anyone found guilty of racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, anti-disability language, chanting or abuse will receive a minimum season-long ban. In the worst case scenario, it will earn you a lifetime ban from the ground. DISORDER Anyone found fighting or physically assaulting someone will be banned from the stadium for a minimum of six matches. In more serious cases this can be extended to a lifetime ban. ABUSE/AGGRESSION TOWARDS STAFF Any verbal or physical abuse towards staff will mean fans are immediately ejected from the ground with a minimum sanction of three matches. This can be punished by a lifelong ban from the ground depending on the scope of the offence. TICKETING Abusing the ticketing rules can range from a written warning to a lifetime ban. Touting and the misuse of tickets or concessions all breach the rules set by the club OTHER BANS Smoking a cigarette or an e-cigarette is also a breach of conduct at the Memorial Ground. Fans can expect to be ejected from the stadium with a maximum ban of six matches if found breaking the strict smoking rules. Anyone considered to be drunk in the stands, hospitality areas or found drinking in view of the pitch can also incur the six-match sanction. Throwing coins and drinks or setting off flares in the stand can mean anything from a three-match ban to a three-season ban for supporters. Anyone caught on the pitch at any time without permission could also be on the receiving end of a three-season exclusion. Persistent foul and abusive language can also mean a season-long ban. This includes any abuse aimed towards players, staff and home or visiting fans.

You'd probably (if sold out be looking more at something like... 20k less 10% away allocation 18k less 15% kept for POTD. 15,300. 8k adult at £400. 4k concession at £300. 3.3k child at £100 Matchday revenue excluding corporate, away and POTD of less than £4million a season.

Even if we average 18-20 k per game and with the Kodja money we'll more than likely only just about break even.
