Lack of cashflow I presume. No idea and no idea. My contact was not the fencing contractor who also agreed to a payment plan. Normal nett monthly invoices. No and yes. As of December at least one of the payment plans had not been adhered to. Some on here = you included - are going to look so foolish because you just don't know when to shut up - why don't you just wait and see?? if you want to shut people up, say what you are hinting at rather than being rude to people.

;allegedly; someone has been fiddling and been pulled up on a sidenote our pitch is crap Thanks Bulbous. Not sure every unpaid invoice is directly affected by these allegations and if that is what Oldie and Fanatical are hinting at then can they please confirm or practice what they preach. 🤫🤫

Not to my knowledge although that is not a definite yes or no.I was given what information from an employee of the company and verified by a manager of a rival bidder who actually said they were glad they didn't get the contract. Ah, ok. Cheers for that, P. I mean, why would a stadium manager have social, if not business (in loose sense of the word) interests with a fencing firm? What possible pitch could be made there? Nothing, I guess. As you were.. I believe when things were rejigged after Tom Gorringe arrived that prt of Ian Holtby's new role was to project manage the training ground development.

Nobody cared so hardly worth discussing. I recall that you cared. Here you go, I've managed to dig out that Richard Latham article, from the Sunday Independent of 14th January. Still can't access the article on the website, unless you subscribe, I guess. www.indyonline.co.uk/football/bristol-rovers/ Wrong thread I know, but it's appropriate as I think the original conversation was in a thread that was victim of the Admin cull, in the wake if the Russian bot attack - another appropriate reason to quote this thread. Issues with the Memorial pitch are not helping with Clarke's style of football.
Selecting various quotes from the article ... After a recent home game, experienced full-back Lee Brown expressed the players' frustration, describing the surface as "worse than when rugby was played on it".I asked Darrell Clarke for his view following the 2-1 win over Pompey and he admitted to being embarrassed and frustrated. "I can only apologise to opposing teams." he said. "We want a better surface because we like to play the ball on the ground. "Our groundstaff are working as hard as possible against problems they inherited and for the moment we just have to adapt as best we can". For a more detailed response and the reasons behind the current problems, I went to Rovers chairman Steve Hamer, who made no attempt to conceal his own dismay. He said: "We spent over £100,000 last summer on re-draining and laying a new pitch. It looked like the beach at Dubai for much of June and July. "We then discovered that the sand lines, which go down to lie above the drainage, had been created with the wrong type of sand. "It doesn't bind or allow grass growth. We were let down by outside contractors and then lost our groundsman to a prostate condition, which meant recruiting a replacement. "The current state of the pitch is nothing to do with him at all. He took over in late July and worked his socks off from the outset. "There is a lot of finger-pointing over where to attach blame. We commissioned two independent ground surveys from firms to highlight the problem, and whileI can't say too much in case we go down the legal route, there is an amount of remedial work required. "We live in hope that, with the sun now getting a bit higher every day, we don't get a wet spring and that there is some early growth in the grass. "If that is the case, come March or April, we will be playing on a reasonable surface again. The current one definitely damages the style of football we want to play." Looking further ahead, Hamer pledged that there would be more work commissioned to ensure the players have a better pitch to work on next season.. He added: "We are going to resolve the position with the contractors used and then I am hopeful we will engage with a different firm, who are developing our training ground pitches. "They are going to be on site every weekday for four or five months with the training ground, building three or four pitches there that are acceptable to professional teams. "I would like to think we can spin them off to come to the Memorial Stadium and rectify the problems there. "The drainage works. It is the sand bars laid down the length of the pitch over the drainage areas, which make the surface too soft and do not allow the grass to take." While Hamer does not go as far as to use the pitch as an excuse for Rovers' disappointing first half of the season, he accepts fully that it has hindered the style in which Clarke and his team set out to play. "Darrell likes to play quick-passing football." he said. "At Walsall on Boxing Day we pinged the ball around because the surface was quire firm. "It is not lost on me that the two games in which we have been outstanding, away to Fulham and then Wolves in the Carabao Cup, were played on decent pitches. "We actually looked a top-of-the-table side in those matches. We also played well at Blackburn Rovers. I now look at the conditions before games and if the pitch is well-established and good quality, I expect us to perform."

Sorry but as the old cliché goes, "it's the same for both sides." Managers and players look for any reason to cover up shortcomings in either selection or tactics. Players do this as well, look at Locks, team captain, coming out after Wimbledon (ooh 'er) to say that the forwards did not perform, as the manager had already said that, the defence lost the game, the attack did not win it. There's always a search for blame, it appears very quickly in TV interviews. The pitch is bad, but our results on it have not been too bad, 10 wins and 6 defeats home to 4 and 3 away. It may be frustrating to lose or draw key matches, and not to play the kind of football you would like, but look at selections, formations and tactics first.
Edit: Blimey I could be a BP journo, mind you anyone could, just read today's:
I used to like Darrell Clarke’s style of never making excuses when he first became the manager, now he seems to be full of them.
He is obsessed with the state of the Memorial Stadium pitch at the moment and his apology to the fans over the poor game on Saturday should have had nothing to do with the playing surface.
I know the standard of pitches are a lot better than they used to be but you cannot blame the grass for so many poor passes and a lack of ideas going forward or point to the sand for the ball being so high in the sky, especially in the first half.
Some may remember how we won promotion at Twerton Park. The pitch was never really up to league standard but I don’t remember Rovers boss Gerry Francis running it down.
Mind you DC is still a hero to me.

So did he not hear DC, apologising for the ball being in the air, because the pitch is s**t
As for Gerry and Twerton. We had this bloke called Devon White up front

Maybe stating the obvious but can’t help thinking that with this and the budget outburst there is an agenda going on behind the scenes and this is just the public utterances of that agenda. Or maybe putting 2 and 2 together to make 5?
