“Oh dear, more of the same. There IS no other copmapny signed up to provide the superfluous student flats, there IS not taker for the hotel. The latest 'tweaks' will mean another expensive planning application. This was Higgsy trying to calm the jitters (well-founded) of their rugby partners, who may be looking elsewhere, and the increasingly savvy fans, who know a fairy tale when they see one!”

“Welcome to another "Pie in the Sky" Day in Cloud Cuckoo Land gas fans! Yes, plans are in place again, but without funding that's all they will be-PLANS! Who is going to pay- that's what you should be asking.”

“Follow Dan from Downend's advice and look at the Rovers site. We can all make plans to redesign our houses and get permission to have extensions. Whether we have the money to go through with it is another thing. Clearly Rovers don't have the cash and are unlikely to get it. A load of hot air - or is that gas?”

“exatctly gary, so you dont want the student accomadation then or the flats?
same here if im honest with you.
its nice to hear some who will donate money to the club if you won the lottery, also same as me.;)”

“Mike (as opposed to 'mike' -confusing) - The thing that Gloucester RFC have that Rovers don't is the multi millionaire Tom Walkinshaw providing the funding. Stadiums don't tend to be built for free (apart from Hull where the council funded it) If I win a quadruple roll over on the Euro Millions I'm sure we can get rid of the flats...”

“why would we want to go all the way to Gloucesters ground when we can go to cheltenham?
we're so wrapped up in it because we need a 21st century stadium and this will help our future ambitions i.e a new stadium for the championship. this is our time now, we can start to look up now after those hard times a couple of years ago when we almost slipped out of the football league. so you city fans can either stand and admire or feel jealous and try to put us down because the truth is we have turned the corner and the only way is up.”

“Good god, your gang in the Mem are slow. Did they ever consider going up to Kingsholm in Gloucester and see what they have done with 7.5 million, and they still own their ground! They got a 16500 capacity with room to grow. They didn't need to build 500 student flats to do it; did it incremenatly and completed it in 2.5 years. Gas heads have got so wrapped up in wanting a new stadium they haven't even considered who'll be owning their big, empty white elephant. I've never heard someting so ridiculous - ' we can't really expand because we need some flats and a hotel to be able to pay for it.' LOL.”

“half of what you just said karen, you will have to ask the board that. i dont know why they did'nt do that in the first place.
the main back pulled out because of financal reasons, as for now we are getting alot more contractors in as it is the credit cruch more companies will be looking for jobs to do.
so yes im 100% behind this current situation.”

“mike...i am thinking that you said 'the new stadium will be built 100% sure,i know facts that you do not!' this time last year and look what happened when the main backer pulled out so....
also why would they want to keep the capacity to hold a minimum of 8,500 for games when the home gate is appox 4,500 tops.mmmm.
last but not least,at last they had the brains to realise that they did not have too move ground as they could build up the new stadium bit by bit.it would save the costs of travelling for the supporters and they would have no costly ground share bills.it really took a single brain cell to work that little dozey out!!”

“Its nice to see the superiority complex going strong as ever...
