Manon Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 When is the supermarket application due in or is it in already? Seem to remember last I heard (a month or two ago) they has altered the design slightly after consultation.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In the Net Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 It's only half-time. Had a homer ref for the first half - South Glos, but BCC and the Sainsbury's application will be a tougher game. I think it is going to be discussed by the Council early in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider hoss rules Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 To be honest, good luck to them. Even if it only acts as some sort of wake up or kick up the jacksy that helps our plans move forward. Even though they are geographically our nearest rival and not currently footballing rivals, not even their fans (extremely loyal but misguided lot that they are) should have to make do with that shambles of a ground. They are equally as optimistic as we are in the capacity, given their current averages, but will reap the benefits when they get their usual spawny big club in all the cup draws.

sbred Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Like it was ever going to get turned down by the pro gas south glos council. They have done the right thing moving out of the city. Not only will there be one team in Bristol again, but they will have a ground easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Will the title South Gloucestershire Rovers make them the longest name in English football?

del ete Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Did anyone see Higgs dig at city on itv? When asked if they need a ground holding 20k He said something along the lines of them from accross the pound had lower crowds than we do now when they were in divison four. He is correct although he failed to consider that in the early 80s football was in decline and all football league attendences were low. I might try and dredge their attendences out for the same period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbred Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 So, by definition, we will be called North Somerset City then? Why ? None of the stadium is outside the city boundary. There is 1 access road in north Somerset. 1 road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Why ? None of the stadium is outside the city boundary. There is 1 access road in north Somerset. 1 road. Not entirely correct:- The application site straddles the boundary between Bristol City Council and North Somerset Council. The main vehicular access to the B3128 (leading to the A370 Long Ashton bypass) falls within North Somerset and the majority of the development site falls within Bristol. ...majority, but not all of it. The point being, its a tongue in cheek jibe at Rovers yet we are hardly that much better. Either way, both clubs are dealing with councils other than just Bristol.

Talk Of The Town Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Does it really make any difference if both grounds end up outside the Bristol boundary. I cant think of much land in the city to build a stadium. I would have liked to have seen our stadium built at Hengrove (old whitchurch airfield site).

hippy273 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Why is it, last time I checked our stadium application went through first time.. But they have no challenge on a village green, only a Sainsburys proposal, not to mention they can build on all the land in it's entirety. I would not be surprised if they get a ground before we do.

Dolman Block B Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 The fat lady is already singing ......what was interesting is that councilors said the numbers either in support or against will have no bearing on the decision made today Sainsburys will sail through ...... Believe me.....you heard it here first To be honest, after all the shite you ****ers have had for the past 20 years or so you deserve a chance Be nice if both clubs could move to new homes. Sadly, after 36 months of f uck ups it looks like our are the "pigs might fly" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me.....you heard it here first Hope it does to be honest, it's embarrassing to live in such a backwards thinking city, sick to death of no decent sports facility's, music venues etc, I went to the Colston hall a few months back, it's still shite after they spent all that money in it.

Totender08 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I am in support of both clubs getting new grounds.......this City needs a kick up the ass, we are collectively the laughing stock around the country with our second rate grounds, crap sporting facilities, no concert venues etc etc I believe SL will win the day in the not so distant future, perhaps the SGC decision today will shame those idiots at BCC into making the right one next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
