Can they refurbish the West standing bit into a concertina?
Then can open for league games, and conveniently close for snivelling pesky 3rd round fa cup obligations.. !

Demolition and a total rebuild? Maybe we can buy off plans and secure a bit of discount. What do you reckon is best in this market, 3 bed semis or 4 bed detached?

On a more serious note,assuming we will still be there for at least 5 years we really do need to improve the visiting fans facilities.

I know the owners have not delivered on the major projects but they have clearly improved the club in many ways. Will they continue to keep the club afloat despite losses? I do not know but nobody else does either. No but that kind of misses the point. Not knowing doesn't mean we can assume that everything is fine. I'm sure Bury fans had little clue this time last season that it would be their last.
It is not invalid for people to look at the scraps of information that are out there and try to work out what it is that's going on. In fact some might argue it's the only thing they can do anymore.
Just because people aren't 100% right in sketching out those concerns does not mean that everything is fine sadly.
Not to mention that not all theories are born equal or based on the same knowledge or lack of it. Sadly I increasingly find Swiss's narrative, which is based on a deeper understanding of our financial liabilities than most, far more convincing than any 'steady as she goes' perspective that is largely based on trusting people who have consistently failed to deliver on grandiose promises.
Anyone who thinks that the AQ's are going to continue to cover our losses after the stadium equity is used up (I think that's right as I understand it) needs have a good answer to the question of why a group of Jordanian bankers would be happy to sustain a mediocre 3rd tier football club? Maintaining the status quo looks extremely implausible when you look at the state of the club in any depth - that is the problem.

I have special insults saved up for any that dare love their country or, sin of sins, drive a white van.

We all know now that cannabis is very good for certain health conditions, and comes with very positive mood inhancing properties. Therefore,why dont we ask Dutch Gas to sort out a 'pop up' Amsterdam style bar for matchdays. Not only will it get the miissing fans back, it would be so therapeutic that we would forget all these silly ideas we harbour about promotion, training grounds and a new stadium! Believe me, many already do that and other mood enhancing substances. could you watch us, straight 😂 You mean theres no heated Seats, panoramic views, breathtaking football, Leffe on tap, cheerleaders ........ Add cheerleaders to the tick list, the rest will never happen!

What has them being jordanian bankers got to do with it? There are plenty of owners from all over the world and also lots of clubs making heavy losses. Swissgas said about a month ago that the charge against the mem is used up but were still playing matches. The list of improvements cost a substantial amount of money,so why bother if the owners know its all going to implode soon anyway? I am angry at wael for spouting all that cr** about the UWE,training ground and cat 2 academy not to mention poor communication but that does not mean he is leading us to ruin.

You’ve said yourself that there is more to Graham’s departure than meets the eye and I agree with you.
Following the trend in the 2018 accounts and from what we know of trading since we must be close to the 17.5 million credit limit. And whether you are an individual with credit cards and overdraft maxed out or a large corporation with lines of credit exhausted the solution is always the same. You must sell assets to raise cash which will buy you time to address the underlying issues which caused the problem in the first place. So Rovers are probably going to sell important players and not adequately replace them which is more than likely the main reason why Graham made the extraordinary decision he did.
The apprehension I have about the whole thing is that we are going to sell these players and raise the cash so we can continue to trade for a further period but we won’t address the underlying issues and all Wael will do is continue to “hope something turns up”.

As we'll be in the Championship next season, the Football Spectators Act (1989) means that we'll have to transition to all seater over 3 seasons. So we'll be knocking down the Thatchers end and it will be tents, tents and more tents !! The Football Spectators Act (1989) should be null and void after it was proven to be built on state lies. Anyway, we'd have to stay there for three consecutive years before that happens. 1. Agree wholeheartedly. 2. We'll be in the Prem. by then
