Phileas Fogg Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Good. I think Failand is pretty good but it's not quite inline with the quality of the stadium or the level the club want to be competing at. Would be good for us to create a genuinely state of the art training facility as I think it's a draw for players who often comment on it as they spend the majority of their 'work' time there.

hoxton casual Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Someone must have some intelligence on the new training ground in Ashton Vale? I assume it will a pretty special place and a large investment? Will the under 18's and Academy be there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitchurch1966 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Just now, hoxton casual said: it does look pretty special but I cannot remember that being said? I can't either, just seems to make sense, we share a ground and have common ownership, merging of strips for both club etc, surely we would't want two different training grounds. I suppose the availability of space for the pitches needed for both clubs could be an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget they can't even realise a football match and a 10k happening on the same day would be a bad thing. The club won't want to announce anything until it's all confirmed for definite.

The "The club won't want to announce anything until it's all confirmed for definite." part of Dolly's post kinda answers that... The poorly kept secret is rumoured to be that we have a large portion of the land to the west of the ground that will house hotel and conferencing facilities and a purpose built home for the Bristol Flyers.

Hillzider Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 From what I have read there are two developments to be announced. One is the redevelopment of the Wickes site with a hotel and indoor sports arena. The other seems to be reliant of the redevelopment of Ashton Vale as part of the proposed Ashton Park housing plans to the south of Bristol. If this is the case then maybe that's why the training ground plans have been put on hold. Might be wrong but that's how I seem things at present.

Thanks Steve. If the Bristol Arena gets cancelled could this be the replacement? 46 minutes ago, Hillzider said: From what I have read there are two developments to be announced.

Thanks Hillzider. Do you have any links to updates on Ashton Vale? We were all obesessed with it for a good while? No idea, but to be honest I'd say it's unlikely. The arena was to be a 10,000 capacity...very much doubt the Flyers arena will be big enough. Would be nice to have it as a smaller scale replacement - say a 5,000 capacity maybe, though. I'm a little surprised that AV hasn't been mooted as a possible Bristol Arena location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redpole Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 I was thinking the basketball arena might be on the lines of Cardiff ice arena that has a 3.5k capacity. If this gets go ahead might also allow bristol ice hockey team to return to bristol under bristol sport umbrella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
