You can’t always base opinion on hard fact. You judge it on critical analysis of factual data. 3 people might analyse it different and come to different conclusions. It’s like science. Everything changes, frequently. One original scientific thought is the sun orbits the Earth. Early human thinkers might have supposed: Sun rises east Sun sets West. Sun travels through sky similar to sling orbiting hand Sun orbits earth Then more data comes along and we revise our position. Do you scoff at religions and agnostics and speak about “what science has taught us”? Think on. In 100 years a lot of what you clung to as “fact” will be like believing leeches purified the blood. This is just a detour really but it’s well worth mentioning as you don’t need conclusive proof if your forming opinion, you just need to explain your analysis of what you know. This could even be “there are multiple rumours from multiple sources, and I’ve found these conditions often present when a real change is occurring” You don’t need a signed confession and witnesses to convict! Some good points well made there. You are right you dont need confession or witnesses but on here it is sometmes more akin to witch dunking than informed opinion and analysis. Witches are easy. Witches burn, therefore made of wood and weigh the same as a duck. |

What is Jane Ghosh up too now? Bit sad really. Jane was accused of saying things that she didn't, her address was confused with that of someone else with the same name, she was just a convenient target to attack because Rovers couldn't deliver yet another stadium project. Had people taken the time to actually speak with her, which I did, they would have realised that she wasn't anti-Rovers, but unlike a lot, most in fact, of Rovers' supporters she saw early on that the plans were fatally flawed and not in the interest of the club or the community. Good for her I say, she isn't a mindless sheep who just follows the herd, she had an opinion and stuck with it. Time proved her to be correct. Guess that's a problem for the people who were wrong, all they have left is name calling. |

Guess that's a problem for the people who were wrong, all they have left is name calling. To an extent I agree, but then it's also worth remembering she didn't move to the area before 1921. If you move next to a stadium one of three things will happen; expansion, retail developments or at best housing. Similar to those in Bishopston who moaned about the redevelopment of the County Ground built in 1889. I have a lot of time for people who live in an area not containing a ground complaining about developments in their locality but struggle with those who have clearly moved to the area knowing what is around. |

It's done and dusted, but wasn't the application where her name was (mostly incorrectly) reported, the one where people were going to live in rooms with no adjacent parking and promise not to park within a certain radius? So everybody accepted that parking issues were unsustainable, yet the solution was utter nonsense? Just shows how desperate BCC were to help Rovers, and still we couldn't get the thing built. |

from the other place.... Right, it’s time for me to come clean as ITK as my source is from within the club. The takeover is happening, it’s a group called Spirit of Francis which is a group of players and officials from 1990. They will redevelop Twerton Park with financial backing from Design Windows. GT knew about it when he interviewed Wael as he’s part of it. I understand it’s hit a snag at the fit and proper persons test as Keith Valle is struggling to prove source of funds, but we should have it wrapped up by Blackpool away. Sorry to be cryptic and vague, don’t shoot the messenger

I believe that the security services get very concerned when there is a lot of 'internet chatter' between people they suspect as being around terrorist circles, because they see it as a proven indicator that something is about to happen
I wonder if the same applies in football?

Rather fittingly i have shared a post on facebook, 1 year to the day when another, takeover rumour was ciculating. Not sure how that one panned out Yes, and there's good reason behind that. This time last year our (shortly to be) new Russian owners, were newly reformed and commemorating the centenary mark since they were originally dissolved. Plenty of vodka was being guzzled, and so they decided to postpone the take-over of Bristol Rovers FC, for a year. But now in 2018, The Octobrists are finally coming: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_October_17And you can tell they have done their due diligence on the Rovers by looking at the section top right of the page, and noting their colours. I'm very sorry folks, it turns out that my source fed me duff information - The Octobrists from Russia turns out to be a red star herring. However, don't fret, because he has now come clean with the facts. It won't be long to wait now folks, until the consortium from Munich arrives. Oktoberfest 2018 ends today, so give them a few days to get hangovers out the system, and we can expect our new German owners to be announced next week. And for all you tent fans out there, you'll be glad to hear the Oktoberfest Group are very keen on them. Here's a link to a selection of what they offer: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oktoberfest_tents |

Most likely the rumours are a load of c0bblers, given that big companies are apparently cutting back on recruitment ahead of Brexit is some random investor really go to throw £40m/£50m our way? Plus why's Wael wasting is money flying over to watch the last two games if the ALQ's are about to sell us?

according to slideaway at the other place....
(Wael) was there again today in box 5 I believe, even had a chat before the game the after his taxi dropped him off, but no- all is not well.....
Have you tried to approach him? He seemed to offer as much as he could today.
Reassured that they have been working behind the scenes which is now extremely close and once they are in a position to announce something they will, until then haven’t been able to say anything because of being undermined in the past and due to restrictions through Non-Disclosure Agreements that are currently in place for all parties but assured that will be out in the open very soon if we're succesefull or not. Make of that what you will, sometimes it's just worth asking the question!
