Rich Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I'm looking forward to the headline in August: BREAKING NEWS Bristol Rovers' plans to move out of the Memorial Stadium have been thrown into doubt by the shock announcement that Paul Trollope has lost his best pair of shoes. In a club statement, the North Bristol club announced, "The regeneration of the stadium is progressing according to plan. However, Paul Trollope has, unfortunately, mislaid his black leather shoes he keeps for best. It seems silly to begin work on the stadium until we locate the shoes, so in the meantime we will continue to play our home games at the Memorial Stadium." "They were a gift from his mother-in-law, and the last thing we, as a club, want to do is send in the diggers when his shoes could well be within one of the stands. We'll continue the search, but fans should understand that the stadium is quite big and, by comparison, the shoes are quite small. So we really can't hang a timescale on the extent of this latest unfortunate delay." The shoes, believed to be a size 9 brogue, were last used for the play off final last May, and suggestions that Bristol Rovers are just coming out with any old shite to explain away the continued delay of the redevelopment work have been strongly ignored by the club. You must be their new press officer in waiting. Very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 These post's are very close to what is very likely to happen. 1.They have nowhere to play next season as yet. 2.No contractor,price,or start date has been agreed as yet. 3.With the value of property falling this usually affects the rental market which the whole project is to be funded by. 4.The prefered contractor and sponsor has been bought by a company that has stated it will not build the new stadium. 5.Edward Ware a director at the club has just pulled out of a contract in Gloucester to build flats (cold feet). Things do not look good for them and they seem to be drip feeding the bad news to what fans/fools remain.They do say thiefs never prosper (the ground was stolen) perhaps at long last this is coming home to roost. Of course we could all be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS35Red Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Just wait for the fixtures to come out, they'll get Sheff Wed or someone big like that in October and that will then be their excuse for staying till then as Cheltenham's ground wouldn't be big enough for their big-game supporters die-hards to all get tickets. Then of course in December it's the local derbies with Hereford & Swindon. February sees the visit of Florist. Better wait till the next season.

edson Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Why can't they just pack up there tent and head off to Forest Green. Only just up the road. Because Forest Green already let Gloucester City play at The New Lawn, following the flooding at Gloucester's ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
