TV Tom Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 They sold their soul to the devil when they stole the rugby ground and it's interesting that it's been mainly downhill ever since, 100 years since the outbreak of WW1 and as far as many Bristol rugby fans like myself are concerned justice has been done, more than a touch of Karma involved here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karma indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Know the Score Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 still find it sickening that they are going to profit from a 'memorial ground'. scum. Built/named in memory for the fallen, torn down by money grabbers to give to a shopping chain. over the moon they can now cripple themselves financially...

Barrs Court Red Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Too be fair. The rugby club were going to sell the ground to Amtrak. I'd say it's a good example of why stadiums should be municipal, however Italian grounds are a good example of why that can be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 still find it sickening that they are going to profit from a 'memorial ground'. scum. Built/named in memory for the fallen, torn down by money grabbers to give to a shopping chain. over the moon they can now cripple themselves financially... Their justification is that the fallen would want Bristol sport clubs to be progressive and that they'd accept the pillaging of their memorial to aid that. Due to recent events, however, the argument of 'progression' being associated with BRFC is totally contradictory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the Amtrak story is one of those myths put up there by Dunceford and Co to justify their actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Rovers demise into the Conference has nothing at all to do with 'karma'. It's simply down to three things. 1) crap players 2) crap manager(s) 3) crap board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but it was Karma that brought all of these ingredients together at the same time, what are the chances of them putting a novice in charge with 8 games left to save their FL status! They had no choice, the decisions had already been made by a greater power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
