But he also posted this: "The consortium interested in the club have exclusivity in the negotiations for the site. It’s on them to complete the deal and, as far as we can see, the only thing preventing it going through will be if the mitigating of the land (if that’s the right term but basically tests etc) throws up difficulties surrounding any substantial development plans, whether that be a cinema, hotel or a football stadium. I should emphasise on the previous point on this topic that this consortium still plan to buy this land, whether or not Rovers will or won’t be involved as it hopefully will allow a large scale and valuable development in the middle of Bristol. Hopefully that includes a stadium but it’s not a deal-breaker in the overall scheme of things. The second bidder is poised should the consortium not complete the purchase. As mentioned earlier, this party is solely interested in residential development and has no links to the club" Can anybody see that a development company, with seemingly no interest in Rovers, bothering to build a football stadium & buying a share in Rovers, if they could just build residential development on the land without any of the planning issues etc, something doesn't add up with that story. Whilst I have no idea over how land development works surely before agreeing a price for with the FM owners the developers would carry out some testing in order to make sure the land was suitable for development? I agree with your last point there, it's not as if there's any other teams here who need a stadium, and we've got one poised to be built for music etc. I share your worry that a developer isn't going to want to build a stadium without prospective tenants. That only leaves 2 things... They'll build a stadium for us, or we aren't getting a stadium My optimism hopes for one, my pessimism sits in the other

Who got any hopes up?
That post, quoted at the top of this page from droitwich, is more or less how I see things.
It's difficult to see why anybody would build a stadium when that isn't the use for that particular piece of land that will give the best return.
And despite what anybody claims, it's a daft location.
Edit. I presume that droitwich is talking about the St Phillips site?

according to Frosty's Q&A today...
Nothing too significant to report, Stephen. We understand the assessments of the fruit market land have taken place, but there are still legal things to work through.

Hold on to your hat, because you might not like it I think that everybody has had enough of you trying to be clever with these attempts at pretending that you know stuff when it's obvious that you know nothing more than anybody else. It's just silly. Do yourself a favour and stop it, there's a good fella.

Just watched a very entertaining match on Sky: Coventry 1 Bournemouth 3. I noticed that the Cherries' shirt sponsors were one "MSP Capital". Refreshing to see that the money earned from us in interest is being re-invested in the game.

What better place to plonk a football stadium than on industrial scrubland? You're guaranteed a Victorian terraced street with a chippy at one end and a pub on t'other to appease the dystopians. Curtains drawn on a Saturday afternoon, empty milk bottles taken in. It may be a soulless bowl but it's our soulless bowl...

He would be bragging about his army of experts who have built stadiums all over the known universe. BTW, nothing wrong with industrial areas as such, if you don't know already then take a look on a map at where St Mary's is. The problem with the FM site is that it's worth more to developers to build other stuff there, and access, especially for weekday matches, will be a nightmare.

Hold on to your hat, because you might not like it Knowall. How many members does the Presidents Club have? Regards John Malyckyj You'll have to wait for another gap in the space time continuum for him to answer. It's difficult when you have to wait for the magic moment to throw dark matter from the dark side! And unlike black holes nothing can enter from here to there so he obviously doesn't get your request...... Have a great day and hopefully 3 points against Northampton Terry
