‘Incorrect’ rather than untrue? The football and rugby are tenants who pay to use the stadium. You could argue this is no difference from if the stadium and club were one entity, because the upkeep has to be paid for somehow, but at least the club could decide what happens to the seating arrangement which is what this thread is all about.

The club is split into 3 separate companies. BCFC, Ashton Gate Stadium & Bristol Sport. This holy trinity is used as smoke screen when you try and pin someone down to get something done. Each part will say it’s one of the others who is to blame. This was Mark Ashton’s favourite game. The SLO regurgitates the same line whenever you try and get a straight answer.

This has nothing to do with Bristol City FC. It’s an Ashton Gate Stadium decision. The football club is a tenant that rents the ground on match days, which is why they are reluctant to do any modifications or ‘improvements’ for football as this could upset the next event.
