It's ok for Sturrock to come out and say "The Groundshare would be ideal!" seeing as i can't see him heading out for a drink on Saturday night in the Town centre.....not unless he's a fan of The Casbah.

We should welcome Rovers here with open arms in my opinion. I know its not ideal but one day (hopefully) when we have a redevelopment we will need somewhere to play for a season or so, and I certainly don't intend going to Oxford or City! So Rover's will owe us one then!

Or you do the sensible option and do one or two stands at the time, we'll never be allowed to build on the cricket pitch or green space so the chances of needing to knock down every stand in one go is pretty remote. Plus Rovers isn't exactly an easily accessable ground so wouldn't want to share with them in all honesty anyway... |

I'd like to think The Nationwide Stand will stay with the other three stands replaced in some form. Whilst I agree with your post about building a stand at a time it all boils down to cost. I'm sure it would be cheaper to build all three stands together in say 12 months rather than building over three years? Rovers is eay to get to btw! Straight down the M32, come off at the Ikea junction and just follow the Muller Road to the top. |

Rovers certainly isn't easy to get to by train that for certain. When you combine the cost of lower crowds and groundsharing costs I'm sure there would be little difference. |

Right I'm a little confused about this, Bowden was at the speedway last night and reckoned a decision will made today and was currently 80/20 in Swindons favour............so are they going to make a decision then carry out the the fans consultation as a consultation?
Also he was banding around a figure of 100k for it to anyone that wanted to listen. Is he talking out of his arse again or are the club just misleading fans? *BIG FUCKING BUMP* Is it only me or does anyone else find it strange that the club have not issued some form of countenance statement, disgracing the actions of the so called fans of BRFC. It certainly gives credence to Glos Robins post above. I can just imagine it The deal is already done and then this happens 'how the fuck are we going to play this now ?" Very interesting next couple of days Perhaps a joint statement will be issued  ? |

The Rovers board already said (previous to the vote) that they couldn't think of a single advantage Cheltenham had over Swindon.
Soccer Night talked as if it was a done deal a few weeks ago.
I'm probably reading too much into this, then again if the ticket allocation to Walsall thread is true then nothing would surprise me. Makes you wonder if the next financial disaster is about to hit and we need all the money we can get now.

Not sure where they go from here if a deal has been done. If it hasn't, tell them to FUCK RIGHT OFF. Literally. In those words. Through the press. And there end all correspondance.  |

The fact that they are sitting on their hands over this gives me the inclination that it has already been signed sealed and delivered and now they face a rather disturbing dilemma on how they spin it |

If it is a done deal at £100k per year then Rovers have certainly fucked us right over!

Atleast that's £100k towards seat replacements... :|
God forbid they should draw City or Oxford at home in a cup tie

I think it might be wise for them to issue some kind of statement ASAP (i.e. tomorrow)
(hint hint, wink wink, nudge nudge Mr Bowden)

Like I've said elsewhere the only stumbling block could be the Council and the license or the Police - they could I believe insist on obnoxiously awkward kick-off times if they wanted.
