Official BRFC posted an announcement at 10 in the morning regarding UWE. That's a fake account. Just seen that o instead of capital O Some wind up merchants tonight. Sorry everybody, I check everything but got caught out by a underscore and missed the capital as well! Hopefully it is all crap but as the good Dr has said if Mr Brown is being criticised then well maybe not all is good. Oh bugger me 10am should have been 11pm

Completely unforgivable that this has taken 18 months to resolve. The reaction has been hilarious, fans full of hope and optimism when UWE was in the pipeline, fans full of hope and optimism now UWE is off, you couldn't make this sh*t up. 11pm announcement aswell, who are they trying to fool, the statement is just another wishlist, shame so many will be taken in by it.

Unforgiveable in trying to sort a deal that was fecked up by Higgs long ago. Maybe the Al-Qadis could have saved their time and money and canned it from the moment they took over. They have overseen more investment off the pich in BRFC in 18 months than we have in 18 years prior since the Mem was brought and then it has been down to the fans to build roofs, or bail the club out of the s**t I am not full of hope as lord knows what the next move is, but situations appear different than they were under Higgs and co. I await some more detail in what has occured and why it may not have been broken by the club first

Don't we deserve a little bit more about what went wrong with the development . We have been waiting for years for a new stadium and all we get is this short statement . It's very poor and the time it was put out is poor .

Why announce this very late at night? Bury bad news? Gutted. Had do many false dawns. Can't see us ever getting a decent stadium. Higgscreally has a lot to answer for butv18 months wasted and a late night announcement does not sit well.

I blame Thatcher, selling off the council houses.......gave Higgs a mor........

Forced into a late night announcement due to the tittle tattle on Facebook & WAQ getting hundred of personal messages asking what's going on.
We go again & look elsewhere, hugely saddening but if that's what has been decided.....!!

Maybe they've bought some land in Avonmouth and are planning a swap deal with IKEA. Yes, my imagination always runs riot on mention of a new stadium...

I will have an hypothetical pound, we will have already got a plan that's not the beginning of the process all over again.

It's very poor and the time it was put out is poor . Agree but I think this was done in reaction to the social media storm. I would expect some more detail to follow soon. If it was me I'd want to make sure people knew that I'd done all I could but that it wasn't enough because [insert the reasons why the talks broke down, blame the contract etc]

What awful timing, were new signings told about the possibility of a new stadium being built surely it must have got a mention after all it would be a great carrot for them to sign on the dotted line. Worried about Saturday now, can't see team morale being too clever after such an announcement thought we could improve on last season's 5-1 hammering I'm not so sure now.
