Haven't been there for a few years but we have a work meal at Aqua on Welsh Back next week. Looking forward to it as have always had decent food there, going back over 20 plus years. Anyone been there recently?

It is now time to bring my experience in football, rugby and stadium communications into a wider remit as we continue to grow as a group. These are exciting times at Ashton Gate, including a world-class sporting quarter development for the city containing a 4000-seater home for the Flyers.
Not if ETM get their way.

I saw him at St George's Hall a couple of years ago. He was superb!
Didn’t he also play one of the last Ashton Court Festivals?

Great thread. Like most people I had shitty boots at junior/senior school but the best ones I ever had were Hummel. Absolutely things of beauty, like wearing slippers in terms of comfort but just outstanding boots.

TBF at the moment even the rugby players can't do well at rugby.

He's well off it at the moment - cuts a lonely figure nowadays.
No way do we get £5m for him. He's still learning and will hopefully improve

Anybody else managed to Run Every Day this year?
1550kms run including the Bristol Half, numerous park runs at Ashton Court plus runs whilst on holidays in London (Covent Garden, Fleet St, Greys Inn and along the embankment) Kernow (Holywell Bay, Porthtowan) Lanzarote (Puerto del Carmen and Matagorda) Barcelona (Sagrada Familia, Clot)
Can’t even toast it as am driving early tmrw morning so it’ll have to wait til I’m in the Robins for pre-game drinks (after a run, of course . . .)

Pretty sure had that game gone on for a extra 10 minutes or so they’d have beaten us

Funny how the board were so cut throat when it came to getting rid of Pearson, yet seemingly Lam can do no wrong despite us having regressed completely since the Quins capitulation.
Still got PTSD from that 2nd half!

Quite a bit of anti Lam sentiment on the Bris forum

Not sure if they own the Wedlock’s site, but I do know that the abandoned toilets next door are owned, strangely enough, by the Highways Agency!!
Quite what they want with it I’ll never know. But might explain why nothing is being done with it as there probably just holding onto it in the hope of making a profit.
Weird. I’d always assumed they were owned by the council.

Sounds like it’s almost a sellout for tmrw night v Chiefs. The Gate will be rocking!

More money for the nest-egg.

Was discussing this on a nice Boxing Day walk around the docks. Must’ve been a good 20 or so years since it was boarded up before eventually being demolished.
At the time I’m sure it was meant to have had flats built there but the site is still empty, boarded up and a bit of a sorry sight (along with the former public toilets next to it) There was talk of some kind of restrictive covenant on it barring any further development on the site but that just seems a bit weird.
Not getting much luck googling it but anyone have any idea why it’s just empty land that’s just a bit of an eyesore nowadays?

Bristol City Holdings Accounts 2022/23
Bristol City Holdings Limited made a pre-tax loss of £22.2m during the 2022/23 season.
The results for the 13-month period ending June 30th 2023 compared favourably to a pre-tax loss of £28.5m for the 2021/22 financial year ending May 31st 2022.
The reduction in loss occurred despite lengthening the reporting period by one month, a decision which was taken to better align with the financial reporting dates adhered to by the English Football League and the wider Bristol Sport Group.
The transfer market showed clear signs of returning to its pre-Covid levels and the sale of Antoine Semenyo was the primary factor in the profit on disposal of players’ contracts rising to £9.5m. Although Alex Scott was sold for a significant sum of money, this transaction occurred in August 2023 and therefore does not fall into the figures for the 2022/23 season.
Total revenue earned from ticketing amounted to £6.3m as the 2022/23 season saw an increase in average league attendances to 20,573. In addition to the rising league attendances, the total ticketing income was boosted by a sell-out tie in the Emirates FA Cup Fifth Round against Manchester City.
Staffing costs increased due to a like-for-like rise in the playing budget, and the enhanced number of non-matchday events resulted in greater levels of permanent and casual staff being required.
City Finance Director and Chief Operating Officer Tom Rawcliffe said: “A loss of £22.2m is not insignificant but it does continue our recent trend of reducing losses each season. A recovering transfer market is a cause for optimism and the strong and growing levels of support we receive from our loyal fanbase is something we remain ever thankful for.
“Despite the upturn in financial performance, there is still a large amount of work to do to reduce the levels of losses we incur. On a positive note, we have worked closely with the EFL over the course of both the 21/22 and 22/23 seasons and we are no longer in a position where the threat of EFL sanctions for failing to comply with financial regulations is a realistic proposition.”
During the year 22,500,000 ordinary shares were allotted for an aggregate consideration of £22,500,000 by way of a debt-to-equity swap, which is reflected in the Bristol City Football Club Limited accounts.
Rawcliffe added: “The financial support provided by the Lansdown family is substantial and vital to our ability to compete both on and off the pitch. We are extremely grateful for their ownership and continued backing.”
