The credibility of some has just been destroyed by recycling this fake news. One thing during the last year that has become clear is that the new regime have pulled the shutters down on leaks, and aren't feeding titbits of info for people to spread around the terraces which was common in previous years. I don't think anything official will be said until all the i's are dotted, the t's crosssed and the watertight contract signed. "Done deal" is good enough until then.

Is 'done deal' what you've heard then CIS?

I'd be more than happy to think no news would ever be leaked again. On the other hand, it's possible that this wasn't fake news, it's just that the announcement is being held back for a while. Time will tell. Either way, it's pretty novel to not be desperately waiting, pinning all our hopes on one bit of good news to shine a chink of light at the end of a long dark tunnel. Apparently we signed an 18 year old on a precontract. Maybe this is what some saw as the news ? I was told this by my nephew and he says it comes from a poster on the other forum by the username of gasincider

Sorry Kevin but the Watola line has confused me as the whether this is intended as humour or genuine

Or, there's agreement in principle / heads of terms. Lawyers now have to write and agree that in a contract. Once that's done, and signed, they'll announce it No idea, personally.

This will likely go on till August with both sides trying to get the best possible deal. My guess is a deal will be done but it'll go on to the 90th minute

That's how see it Seth. Fair enough: I'll keep that behind my ear with a degree of confidence, but no expectations re timing. It's how I'd do it - keep schtum until you announce a fait accompli. Without reading runes, however, I think WA-Q is more switched on with expectation management than previous folk: he might not have been gushing at the imminence of it all a few weeks ago, but neither was he lowering expectations that something will be sorted.

On the subject of expectation management, is it worth sharing....
Y'know how they've mentioned looking at other stadia re what works best, doesn't that imply that they might want to change the plans for what they build (that might even have been one of the things they needed to talk to UWE about)? That would mean, once (if) the land deal's settled, we then put in for revised planning permission.
Either way, I'd still be hopeful of moving in in summer 2019, but contract signing with UWE might not be the final stage before the bulldozers are ready to roll (when was that memorable claim, btw, March '14? The years fly by).
Then again, who knows?

Under the new planning rules that have come in or about to come in, they can be approved in as little as 6 weeks....

26/02/2017 (same evening this thread was started) someone posted on a Rovers facebook group: "Some great news regarding stadium coming soon."
Shortly after someone linked the Chimp's twitter post which said: "Breaking @official_BRFC news both parties reach agreement and give UWE stadium the green light expect news soon #utg"
Later the same evening a chap called Steve posted a screenshot of his PM conversation with Wael: - Steve > "Hi Wael, speculation we may get uwe news next week? Anything in this? UTG." - Wael > "Hi Steve. Again nothing new happening soon."
... so here we are, over a week later. I am sure that Wael will make the announcement when he is ready. Until then we just have to be patient.

Thanks for clarifying. I used to use the old club forum and on a few occasions, your posts reminded me of the poster I wrote about.
