  1. Very economical with your memory there. The area known as Ashton Vale, where the stadium was planned, was scheduled to be removed from the green belt and, agreed by the four unitary authorities prior to an application going in. It was also deemed to be a very important development for the region and as such, met the criteria allowing development within an existing Greenbelt area. Agreement for the allotments, was for the "sale" of the allotments to BCFC, as was also agreed for the East End car park, not a transfer. The QC appointed to hold the village green application review, was appointed by Bristol City Council. It just so happens that, she had "NEVER" found against an application for a village green. Makes one wonder why she was appointed and, who recommended her. We also had a scenario where the chair of planning was replaced on the morning of the meeting and replaced by a person on the committee actively opposing the development, Simon Rayner. He spoke beautifully with his mates from the green party, whom he gave extra time to present their case against the development and managed to get a refusal, which went to an appeal. On the other side of the city, at a very important planning meeting to determine whether there could be a redevelopment of the rugby ground. Six members of the committee were removed on the morning of the meeting and, replaced with six councillors who actively supported the scheme. The application was passed, I wonder who made that decision to change the committee members.

  3. I think I've played 8 rounds since we were allowed back, more than I normally would in that space if time. I think when this is over everyone will be saying yes to every invitation and we'll be grabbing all the fun things in life with both hands

  5. Depends how skint you are ?? Personally I'd let it run. They are in freefall. No win in 11, losing 9 and drawing 2. Lost several of their best players in last window as well. Take £80 if you desperately need the money. If not £300 is very nice. Great bet though!!

  6. I did not (I’m a Rovers fan), but agreement was made to transfer the allotments and planning permission granted on green belt land. Hardly the most effective blocking tactic. If it hadn’t been for the Judicial Review (ice skating, really?!), Ashton Vale would have been built.

  8. I’m assuming you never attended the meeting at City Hall when the move to Ashton Vale was being proposed then? It couldn’t have been more obvious that everything possible was being done to stop it. As for the other lot, probably not in my best interests to say too much, but if you look hard enough it is pretty easy to find evidence of how they have been helped recently & are likely to continue to be for at least the next year.,

  9. A rich man living in essex decided that he wanted to throw a party and invited all of his buddies and neighbours. He also invited Dai, the only welshman in the posh neighbourhood.. He held the party around the pool in the grounds of his mansion. Everyone was having a good time drinking, dancing, eating prawns, oysters, steaks from the BBQ and flirting. At the height of the party, the host said, 'I have a 15ft man-eating crocodile in my pool and I'll give a million quid to anyone who has the balls to jump in.' The words were barely out of his mouth when there was a loud splash and everyone turned around and saw Dai in the pool fighting the croc, jabbing the croc in the eyes with his thumbs, throwing punches, doing all kinds of stuff like head butts and chokeholds, biting the croc on the tail and flipping the croc through the air like some kind of Judo Instructor. The water was churning and splashing everywhere. Both Dai and the croc were screaming and raising hell. Finally Dai strangled the croc and let it float to the top like a dead goldfish then slowly climbed out of the pool. Everybody was just staring at him in disbelief. The host says, 'Well, Dai, I reckon I owe you a million pounds, 'Nah, you're all right butt, I don't want it,' says Dai The rich man said, 'Man, I have to give you something. You won the bet. How about half a million quid then?' 'No thanks... I don't want it,' answers Dai. The host said, 'Come on, I insist on giving you something. That was amazing. How about a new Porsche and a Rolex and some stock options?' Again, Dai said "No." Confused, the rich man asked, 'Well then what do you want? Dai said, 'I want the bastard who pushed me in!!.

  18. To the best of my knowledge, neither City or Rovers have ever had a planning application turned down by the council. Despite various members of both sets of supporters claiming that the council are biased in favour of ‘the other lot’, history suggests that they have been supportive of both teams.

  23. This is so pre-Covid, get with the programme fella - work from home, shop from home, exercise from home, protest from home, school from home, watch from home - get into the post-Covid, 21st century rest of your life. Going to AG is over.
