"If we had kept Eastville it would now be an ideal site for a 50,000 all seater stadium"

One of the quotes from Ass Works reminiscing about Eastville ?

To be fair that is true. I mean, it's all 'If my auntie had a pair of bollocks' stuff and we currently are , ahem, some distance off needing such a stadium, but Eastville really would have been a great site for a large stadium that could have been the envy of many international clubs.  If someone with the cash and vision of Lansdown had been around at the time , Bristol could have been a very different city sporting wise.

But where would we have got our Benny bookcases?

I wish they'd make up their minds,  they've been going on and on about the fruit market for ages, now it seems they wanna corner the day-tripper market instead... ffs, I bet they end up with neither!  ?

Let us not forget that the normal weekly and, indeed, aggregate largest attendance at Eastville was the day-tripper fuelled Eastville Market.....back to their roots! Lots of tents there too if I recall!

Compare this to the Bristol City Council approach to any stadium development confirmation of what we always knew...?

BCC will say they've never refused a stadium application.

What they don't say is that they make it as difficult as possible.

Nor could I really, but I was able to justify it in comparison to the busfares to school coupled with the independence it gave me.

I also remember Rodney Thomas in The Arcade, from one of your earlier posts - a regular Saturday morning trip in to town.

Do you remember those towelling socks - white, then 'progressing' to fluorescent? 

And what about those 'silk handkerchiefs' for our Crombie pockets - a bit of cardboard with some cloth stapled on top ?.

As Mary Hopkins sang....
