ciderup Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 This should give you a good laugh (posted on their forum).....I have a sound source who says it's a possibility the main backer of the consortium could be he who must live in Guernsey. Could be potentially looking to create a business conference planning and hosting enterprise - venues could include the new AG, the UWE and potentially one new site.Investing in Rovers might basically be a sideline to getting into that and could allow an interest in Rovers so they can be set up as the City feeder club.I know quite a bit more than this but can't say for legal reasons. I'm telling you all of this in the best interests of the club.Read more: http://gasheads.org/thread/3951/plan?page=11#ixzz3mPk6kw4Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Net Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 It made me chuckle tbh in the net, that's all. I can see why. Since the appointment of CS to the Board, there are a few strange suppositions on our forums which might raise a laugh too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up The City! Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 That's a fantasy of theirs. Sorry but no room for you within Bristol Sport. Maybe they should have backed our world cup bid. Failure to do that will forever rule them out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL/Bristol Sport would not be permitted to own two clubs in the English professional game, regardless of how amateur we consider them to be! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smaller than a flea Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I think this whole consortium thing might turn out to be a total fabrication. A few loyal Rovers fans have been used to "out" a false rumour, designed to flush out who on the Board are loyal and who are actually traitors in Higgs' eyes.

A few loyal Rovers fans have been used to "out" a false rumour, designed to flush out who on the Board are loyal and who are actually traitors in Higgs' eyes.It isn't a fabrication, and one of those with info did not get it from anybody inside the club. Higgs doesn't want to be caught lying to the fans again, hence a club insider telling the EP that he "will not dignify this with a response". If there's been no approach, why does Higgs not just come straight out and say so himself?Whether anything does actually come from it is another matter, but at least fans are now aware that there is a credible option for Higgs to take, if he can put his ego to one side.

In the Net Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 should Mr piggs put his own personal money he loaned the club to one side behind his ego as well ? No - he will get his loans repaid, possibly over an agreed period of time. The need for the Directors to loan the club money has mainly arisen due to debt increasing due to their poor business decisions. I do feel sorry for Higgs, as I'm sure that without the Trash delay he would have delivered the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do feel sorry for Higgs, as I'm sure that without the Trash delay he would have delivered the stadium.Put yourself in the man's shoes:- Would you loan money to a business with poor credit worthiness and running at an annual deficit ? Maybe, if you're a fan.- Would you loan a business with poor credit worthiness (to the extent its bankers called in a debt) and running at an annual deficit and over which you will have no direct involvement in its management, strategy, long term success and stability? Maybe, if you're a fan of Russian roulette.I wouldn't for one moment suggest that poor business decisions have or have not been made, but I'm not quite sure that amounts to even a moral culpability for debts or increases in debts provided advice was taken and was given due consideration.

I have never quite understood giving the '******' sign at the opposition when they score, like they really give a ****? Anyway, I daresay the same happened in the away end at Ipswich when the home side scored yesterday, and in the home end when City scored, and in the Chelsea end when Newcastle scored, and in the Newcastle end when Chelsea scored ad infinitum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistleHappy Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 ....we could always help 'em to get back on the right track, as good neighbours its the least we can do, its not nice to stand by and do nothing when someone we can potentially help is struggling. I'm sure we must have this blokes number still... if someone can dig it out can you please pass it on to Mr Higgs (actually Sextoy might have it already) anyway if we can find Mr McKindoe's contact details I'm sure he will be only to pleased to help 'em out.

Fans dish it out left right and centre then go mental when they get a bit back. Lita when he was playing for boro was a classic example. Although a certain gas scum sucking player could never handle the chants about him and the chairman's daughter.

Sargent Pepper Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Yep, any ground you like. Depressing stuff, but hardly unique to our lot.Yep it was embarrassing to see how some of our fans behaved at Birmingham when they scored and not just the pre pubescent "netters" either. Every support has them. Seriously, if it angers you so much when the opposition score maybe football isn't for you, let alone placing yourself next to the other teams fans. Having said that, you don't often see the family matriarch leading the abuse. The gift.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
