But I'd be certainly be curious to watch it in a brand new 4000 seater arena as part of the Bristol Sport collection of teams to which I am starting to feel a sense of affinity, and I'm certain my young son would be keen to go to. And even better, I'd be able to get a discount with my membership, and my ticket cost would not only benefit the basketball but also the football club that I love. And maybe having been once, I might well enjoy it and want to go again. And there in a nutshell is the Bristol Sport philosophy working in everyone's favour. PS - no reason not to think a netball team wouldn't be added at some point - in fact I'd say it seems more likely than not. There's a couple of racing drivers signed to Bristol Sport too aren't there? Wonder when the Bristol Racing Circuit will get announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Lando Norris and Dino Zampirel down there to challenge the locals in a stolen Citroën Saxo. Proper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambodinho Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Been going to flyers games since before they joined the BBL. it’s a great evening out. Love that they have set their sights on playing in Europe. Would be class to see Barcelona, Real Madrid, fenerbahce, olympiacos, Bayern Munich and CSKA Moscow bringing their basketball teams to south bristol. Could be years and years away but exciting anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Just did a bit of googling re capacity of other places. 02 Academy Bristol - 1600 (for gigs) Roundhouse - (3300) standing 02 Brixton - 4921 So it would be a great size of venue to host music events if allowed.

Helluva legacy Lansdown is going to leave behind. I remember watching my old man playing bowls under the Dolman back in the day. How far things have come. Fantastic. If we had a lunchtime KO, and then the basketball was on at 5, I would certainly be intrigued enough to cross the road and continue the day. Almost certainly they'll do similar free tickets, shared ST type things like we already have with the Rugby. Focus all of the sport in the city into one area, make it easy to get to, share the overheads, create a shared goal of mutual success. It's some vision and now is happening.

Not sure Lando is anymore, they sponsored him but i don't think they've had anything to do with him since he signed for McLaren as a test driver and now main race driver for next season in the F1. Don't think Racing drivers work the same way in that we never signed anyone per say just became sponsors to enable them to race. Last thing i saw they were still sponsoring Dino but maybe that's changed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxing tho.. Apart from the the two fighters facing off and bad mouthing each other boxing is not particularly boring, just too brutal for may taste. Boxing fans says it’s skilful but I can’t see punching the other guy whilst he tries to dodge away and then punch you back that skilful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
