My take on u w e is they could screw higgs and co for what they wanted out of ro ers but along came the family who are well used to amateurs and t hey seen right through the university and could see they were trying to get more from us as the family had much more financial clot that's when al wael pulled the plug on the stadium It still took them 18 months and an hell of a lot of fees to find that out if that was the case! I think the term you are looking for is "due diligence" |

What should they be accountable for? They are custodians of OUR club. Should Tann have been allowed to do what he wanted without being accountable? Or the Venkeys? Blimey, do you mean Bert or the Cardiff one?😉 UTG! |

Should this thread be re-titled 'Stadium Non-Development' ?

Should this thread be re-titled 'Stadium Non-Development' ? Phase one starts next week with a new hard standing for Santa's Grotto |

Doubt no more. Going against Wael's own "evolution not revolution" philosophy, I can reveal we have already a permanent building for Santa's Grotto......8 months early! I've managed to take a sneaky pic...

I will not be renewing my season ticket next year. Fed up of going to football games and sitting in the rain in the ironically name dri Build.
Will pick and choose when to watch the Gas, much like how the board choose to share anything with the fans.
Will pateiently be watching the evolution from afar.

I suspect that in ten years time many will be looking back and feeling ashamed at their lack of belief . The club will be a different place to what it was five years ago. The owners after all could have EASILY come into the club and stated that BRFC was on the verge of admin that they have stabilised the club. That due to the Sainsburys deal falling through and the court case losses that the money was not there to build a new stadium. That they would try to balance the books and keep BRFC in business and that hopefully they would be able at some point to improve the Memorial stadium. That would have been easy. They could have lumped all the blame on the previous boards done a huge cost cutting exercise (to save the club) by getting rid of all youth teams ,reduced the squad by half and relied on loan players.Begged the fans for volunteer labour to keep the club going. Then limped on for years and years. Then again we could look back and say we were gullible thinking the ALQ's ever intended building a new stadium! Personally I do wonder where the finance will come from to build what is required, as it goes completely against the evolution phase Wael continually uses, if we wait until we can actually afford to build it we could be in for a very long wait. That's a fair opinion. I have a sneaky feeling that the stadium we do get will be way beyond what we expected.

Well quite. I think there is generally a lack of understanding of what a feasibility study even is on this forum. Goodness this place is ceaselessly repetitious. I agree, it seems that the same questions come up and are then explained, then repeat ad infinitum. I'm getting to the point where I want a stadium plan not because of the stadium itself but to put an end to the questions. Mind you, it would make the forum quieter. Yeah that's certainly an interesting point but what I want to known is if they had the feasibility study done and it came back positive how come the deal fell through? And why has no one made a definitive statement about why the deal fell through? And also I'd like to know if the feasibility study came back positive how come the deal fell through? Not to mention the question of why no one has made a definitive statement about why the deal fell through. |

I cobbled together a botched photoshop of a revdeveloped Mem a couple of years back. Yes, I know the hypothetical South stand is just a copy of the Thatchers end and faces away from the pitch, but I was drunk. I have seen nothing to suggest a new site will happen, and extending what we have might happen, so here is my idea for a cheapo revamp of the Mem. Probably 18,000.  |

Nice job especially as you were drunk! Although I think if the real thing was similar to this in that the stands were extended full length/width, and were all converted to all-seater, that would give a capacity of around 8-9,000 in my opinion, similar to Walsall or Rochdale's grounds. This would indeed be the bare minimum I would expect, and I'd be pretty disappointed if they couldn't figure out a way of using the full footprint of the land, although the shape is a bit awkward to be fair. |
