Bristol Rovers owner Hussain AlSaeed has said moving away from the Memorial Stadium is the 'most likely' option the club are considering. Rovers' owners have been exploring redeveloping their home stadium and increasing its capacity, however AlSaeed said in January plans had stalled due to a number of studies returning a 'red flag'. There are a number of location 'targets' in and around Bristol the League Two club are examining, AlSaeed said, that are unrelated to any previously explored. However AlSaeed added plans to move were not 'concrete' with the ground having been Rovers' home since 1996. AlSaeed said he had no regrets on the spending as the club wanted to ensure they have made sure the option of the staying at the Mem is 'exhausted' if and when they decide to move on. Bristol Rovers' 2025-26 finished on a high with a nine-game unbeaten run, including eight consecutive wins under manager Steve Evans. Multiple attempts to relocate Bristol Rovers have fallen by the wayside over the years. The club was involved in a High Court battle with Sainsburys over a deal to buy the Mem in 2011, while a proposed move to a ground at Bristol's Fruit Market site was still 'on the table' when Kuwaiti businessman AlSaeed took over as majority owner of Bristol Rovers in 2023, before acquiring the full shares in November 2024. More than £400,000 has been spent investigating redevelopment options at the Memorial Stadium in recent years, in fees for studies, surveys and architecture design. The ground is in the busy residential area of Horfield and adjacent to Gloucester Road, a 1.7 mile (2.7km) thoroughfare of shops, restaurants and bars, meaning space in that area of Bristol is of a premium.
