zfc Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 If you look hard enough you will find how Rovers acquired The Mem and what would have happened to The Mem and the rugby club if Rovers hadn`t of purchasd The Mem.I still want to know how you think it was stolen..I suppose Rovers stole the ground from parcel delivery firm Amtrak who were going to build a huge depot but there is no evidence to suggest that Rovers stole the ground from the rugby club.The facts are there would be no Mem or Bristol Rugby club had it not been for Bristol Rovers.

nerdgas Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Rugby club going bust and had initially agreed to sell the ground to Amtrak/ANC who would have built a distribution centre on it.Rovers offer to pay off the Rugby clubs debts (about 2 million) with an agreement that they would take a 50% stake in the stadium.A clause was inserted into the agreement that if either club went into administration the other club would have the option to buy the remaining 50% for £12k (I think). This was, I beleive, to stop the administrators from trying to sell 50% of the ground to a potential developer.Rugby club goes into admin about a year or so later and as such Rovers buy up the remaining 50% at the agreed price.If it wasn't for Rovers the Rugby club would have lost their ground and probably eventually gone out of business.It's just a shame that a lot of Rugby fans spread the lies that we stole the ground from them.

Portland Bill Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Bristol Rovers players will take a victory ride through the city on an open-topped bus on Bank Holiday Monday after their play-off win on Saturday. The Pirates beat Shrewsbury Town 3-1 in the final at Wembley, winning promotion to League One. The open-top tour will leave from Warmley High Street at 1115 BST and travel through Kingswood and St George onto College Green. There will be a civic reception at the council offices with the Lord Mayor. Wonder who will be driving the bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
