    I wouldn’t put Weimann in the same bracket as Ian Botham, personally

    Quite. Beefy only managed just the single goal in his entire footballing career.

    Is Mehmetti the new Weimann? As in won't be dropped so the rest of the team have to fit around him? Hope not. 

    Weimann was a great all-rounder and usually a dead cert to be in the starting XI. Mr Reliable if you will .

    Mehmeti is nowhere near that level. Arguably never will be, either.

    No coach with options would be prepared to take instructions from Tinnion.

    Ideally our next coach would be Graham Potter - we'd officially be a Tinn-Pott outfit

    (edit: sorry)

    It won’t happen though as those above are out of their depth and are the ones who are holding this club back 

    Absolutely. And who on earth would want to buy-in to the club when it's all being made up as they go along?

    I think that this is a straight replacement for ETM (unsurprisingly)

    Ashton Gate appoint Veolia as waste contractor

    Ashton Gate has appointed Veolia as the stadium’s new recycling and waste contractor.

    The one-year contract will see Veolia manage all waste stream collections for Ashton Gate Stadium, Robins High Performance Centre and Bristol Bears High Performance Centre.

    Using the expertise gained from serving a number of key sporting venues, Veolia will provide a proactive, reliable service seven days a week, with zero waste going to landfill treatment. Veolia’s Bristol service centre is local to the stadium and both High Performance Centres, minimising the operation’s carbon footprint, helping Ashton Gate and the Bristol Sport Group meet the sustainability goals set by Project Whitebeam.

    Project Whitebeam is a joint effort across the sporting group’s clubs and Ashton Gate Stadium to recognise, measure and mitigate Bristol Sport’s impact on the environment. This aligns closely with Veolia’s purpose of ecological transformation, which places sustainability at the forefront of the company’s processes, solutions and mindset.

    In addition to overseeing the general waste stream and the recycling of plastic, cardboard, food and glass, Veolia’s online Customer Hub will also enable Ashton Gate to review, report and optimise the stadium’s environmental performance with usage data per individual game.

    Ross Wormald, Operations Director for Ashton Gate said:

    “I’m hugely excited with Veolia’s global influence and expertise, it will positively benefit our recycling challenges, enhancing our total waste management strategy and sustainability credentials. Bristol Sport and Ashton Gate are proud to have Veolia as a key partner in helping us achieve our waste recycling goals.” 

    Commenting on the partnership, Adam Wylie, Veolia’s Managing Director for Commercial said:

    “By partnering with Ashton Gate we will be able to help them make a significant positive impact on their recycling rates, and further progress their sustainability. Bristol Sport and Ashton Gate Stadium have ambitious goals, which aligns with Veolia’s purpose of ecological transformation, and we are looking forward to implementing some of our initiatives and innovations in this partnership.”

    Supporters are encouraged to respect our community and use bins on matchdays.

    Ashton Gate’s proximity to the Avon Gorge, historic harbour and local parkland makes it a special and unique stadium. Children play near here so if local bins are full, please bring your litter to the stadium and dispose of it upon arrival in the bins in the Fan Village/concourse.

    Im afraid that type of so called “toxic masculinity” has been forced out the game over the years. 

    Play the game Lewis, can't you graffiti some songs around BS3 en route to the ground to give a bit of visual encouragement to our reticent singers?

    Super Bob provided me with one of the best moments that I treasure to this day and will do until I depart - it was the 25 yard half volley against Crewe shortly before pulling up lame. Stood with the old man in the east end, the goal elicited a reaction from him that I’d never seen before - to say he was chuffed with the goal is a drastic under-reaction! Such treasured times. 
     

    great player. Was still young at the time so memories hazy but I think he struggled with the step up in class to what is now the Championship although he still got double figures in the first season up. Still gutted to this day that we sold him though. 

    What a night & what a memory❤️
