Why don't UWE build 15,000 seats and we build the extra 6,000 and the corporate bits? It wouldn't cost much to build a 15,000 capacity stadium with terracing and enough seating to meet FL standards for Leagues 1 & 2 Don't think that would be what they wanted. Probably more along the lines of being able to stage international athletics, international Ladies' football etc, I don't think they will do it 'on the cheap'. If they are going to build the thing they would be mad not to include all of the revenue generating bits as well. I would expect a mirror image of what we thought we were getting, just with smaller stands.

I was blinkered and just thought of their football team which plays in Almondsbury.

A 15,000 seater would cost them £20-25 million, maybe one day in the future in 5, 10, 15 years time if we have rich owners we might get first refusal to buy it back off them and they will either get there money back or make a profit. Seems like a good idea from the UWE, i never thought they could end up being the ones who could salvage this whole mess.

This is an eastville situation waiting to happen. Way out for higgs though, can flog the mem and get his cash back and leave us effectively with nothing.

I see that you're opting for the ''feet firmly on the floor approach'' here. That's very wise, if I may say so. So much better than flying the proverbial kite, to absolutely no effect.

Whatever UWE's cost of building a 15000 seater could be put it together with say the £10million Rovers could get for the Mem site and surely the 21700 stadium becomes a viability . I think I can remember reading somewhere that there were other interested parties in buying the Mem but Sainsburys were their preferred choice obviously the highest bidder, I wonder if the other parties could still be interested albeit for a lower price and put this towards the UWE 's interest in building the stadium surely they'll get £20 million for the land off another supermarket that'll be 50% of the stadium cost and UWE can find the other half.

We dont even know if this is true. If it is then we dont even know if we will be asked to be tenants.
But if it is true and if we are asked to be tenants then I hope somewhere in the 'watertight' contract between us and UWE that we can buy the stadium or a percentage of the stadium from selling the Memorial Stadium to someone else. Basically keep to the original plan = our stadium! The only difference is the stadium be funded by UWE and we pay them back after selling the Memorial Stadium and of course the capacity will be reduced but even that is not really an issue as 15,000 is more than enough and there could be an option to increase size.
It all sounds good to me. Maybe too good to be true. Because of that, I dont believe this will happen and I will only believe it when we are playing in it. I still wouldnt believe it even when the players are on the pitch warming up.

Is there any point in UWE owning a 15,000 seater stadium without us?
