Quite often think how I would spend say, £100M from a big euromillions jackpot.
I wouldn’t want to run the club, because i could quite easy squander everything and as a fan I’d probably be dumb with the money.
I’d basically clear the debt, and build a ground. I’d name one stand, the safe standing one, after me. Or perhaps the ground would be the “Gregory Stevens stadium”. I’d like to be remembered for what I’d done for the club, but not really into running it.
Ideally I’d clear debt and build ground and ensure the ground is held in a trust for the club alone, and I’d also have a cheeky 5% stadium profits. Never going to pay me back but I least my relatives will benefit when I’m gone. And they’d have some kind of say in it too, having an interest.
I’d like to build it on the mem site. NCP could build a multi story to save space.
Some other things I would inisist on:
- smokers and vapers catered for with a proper covered area. Its no bother, and nice to treat fans like human beings.
- family stand miled from where the boisterous fans. So we can all have what we want at a game
- Family tickets to lower the cost for people with kids
- an urn filled with the ashes of our arsoned stand with a mural saying “Fire doesn’t stop gas” and a range of photos of city pitch invasions, vandalism and aggression so younger fans know about the past and don’t believe the Bristol sport “family club” posters.
- statues and pictures of key rovers legends on the way in. No nick higgs
- free entrance for disabled war veterans and holders of military honours
- a large safe standing terrace to lead the way in ground reform, and increase capacity
- an app based bar with rapid pint pulling. Limited options - 1 lager, 1 cider, coke and poss one real ale. Just order and pick up from a dude rapidly pulling pints. No cash.
- 2 types of steward. One “heavy mob” for sorting out trouble and ejecting people. One other type trained in customer service and there to help fans, sell tickets and improve the match day experience.
Just a few ideas. Any other rovers fantasies worth a chuckle about?

Keep the smokers and vapers out, it's selfish and anti-social.
All of your stuff, plus, use remaining £50m to develop invisibility ray gun, this doesn't seem to be an offence under FIFA / UEFA rules and may be useful during games.
What happened to the helpers / greeters in the car park. Didn't we do this for a while after the 2012 Olympics?

What happened to the helpers / greeters in the car park. Didn't we do this for a while after the 2012 Olympics? How is a separate area selfish and anti social ? Surely stopping others doing something which doesn’t impact you at all is pretty selfish. Ah yes, the 2012 olympics. Im just reeling in that massive legacy the games presented. Definitely wasn’t a jolly for the rich and famous, and a cash bank for crap minority sports. That moment when Mohammed Farrah won and that Jess woman won something I think, unforgettable seeing those moments when our guy ran round in a circle a little bit quicker than another guy. Words cannot describe how uninterested I was in most of those sports. The general public will get excited about anything the telly says. If we had a big tiddlywinks campaign on the BBC kids would be screaming to go. Just something so boring and middle management about the olympics. Rant over

I'm glad that you are comfortable with setting up areas that encourage people to use known carcinogens and inhalers that have unknown long term health effects. Yeah, I got caught up in the excitement and rushed out and bought an Olympic standard 220kg O-Jolle sailing dinghy in 2012, not sure I've ever taken it out of the box though.

More carcinogens in diesel fumes on a busy road than in vape juice. Far more health issues from pies and pasties, and alcohol.

Think of the example a load of pissed up guys set for young kids, not to mention the NHS burden it causes, the domestic violence it causes....yes, it’s not every drinker, but not every drink driver kills someone, yet it’s illegal.. How about pies and mars bars, does that help the childhood obesity epidemic? I think there’s a lot worse coming from that than vaporised nicotine and vegetable glycerol (which is in a lot of things you eat, nicotine is about as damaging as caffeine). Plus, if it’s in a segregated area, what’s the issue? Id stick the alchies out there. Puking and swearing and destroying their liver away from my young relatives.

There is a special place for the smokers and vapers already. Canford. May be the smokers special place but I think you need a padded safe space if you think flavoured water vapour sends you to an early death. Absolutely no evidence to support that. What seems to be happening is that the old standard “I can stop you smoking becuase there’s a remote chance a whiff of tobacco smoke might harm me” has been busted by market innovations, but people don’t like their sweeties (the right to control others) taken away. So they disregard that vaping is safe regardless of the evidence to keep swinging that ban hammer. Anyone who wants to control others behaviour when it doesn’t impact you needs a psychiatrist. It’s a hallmark of a lot of cluster B disorders

My opinion hasn't changed since I was old enough to vote. No censorship involving consenting adults. Freedom of speech. (although inciting violence should remain prosecutable). Take responsibility of your own actions and the effect it has on others. On a side note, my own opinion is in my limited knowledge and indulgence of this fabulous life we are all enjoying, (generally) smokers are amongst the most selfish of communities I've met and found company from. But that's just me. I don't think I've met many dictators....but if I did, I bet they'd be smokers!

We don't yet know the long term effects of vaping. Yes, vehicle emissions are bad, very bad. This country is full of huge fat lumps who just ram calories down their throats, it's obscene. Yes, alcohol is a blight on society and a massive drain on the NHS that you so badly want improved. You've lost the thread when you try to rationalise an acceptable level of harm. Zero is acceptable to me, sorry that you see it differently. Maybe not every drink driver harms someone else, but a huge percentage of injuries and deaths on the road are caused by people who have consumed alcohol. Now, what about these 2 Chris Boardman Keirin bicycles that I bought from eBay in 2012, used once, as new, would you like to make an offer?

Just a thought when the only heating we had was coal fires because the soot that was generated by such fires we had to have the chimneys swept regularly. Now moving on to the issue of smoking if you inhale nicotine fumes they will have the same effects on your tubes as coal fires did to chimneys so unless you can get a sweep to push his brush up or down your tubes to clear them you are literally clogging them up and eventually they will close.there is no way you can compare that to the occasional in Halling of vehicle fumes so it is a fallacious argument

Nicotine in itself, while highly addictive is relatively harmless. It's the other s***e in tobacco that's the problem. As you were... ;-)

This has all the makings of a classic thread. I blame the immigrants. Anyway, we don't have a local ant hospital, so I would spend some of my money setting one of those up. And I would set up a Safari holiday company where people could hunt Royals around Windsor, Norfolk and Scotland.

Based on population trends, they are saying that their estimate is that smoking will kill 1 billion people this century. This is being done for profit. Utterly disgusting.
