Proved what wrong? You have said it as though parking is freely available and every other club provides parking, which is complete nonsense. You still haven't answered a single thing of your claims at all. How many fans are staying away due to the parking issues at the moment? How many grounds that are/were built in the same type of area as Ashton Gate is now have parking available? In your opinion where should we have this/these huge car parks by the ground? As for the pathetic comment - it was what I called the original posts, and I still stand by that as you are not saying anything at all that is anything bar pathetic imo.

They are not football related Suppose it depends on how Bristol Sport revenue is distributed across the other clubs. I (assume) we pay a peppercorn rent on the stadium, it might be that concessions contribute to the coffers as well. Dare say some of the financial wizards we have on here will be able to produce a breakdown of BS income and what it is used for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 When I look at these new exciting plans and what it will mean to the club, Bristol Sport and the area in general, being redeveloped and creating jobs my first thought wasn’t ‘where am I going to park my car!’. Am I missing something here?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd socks Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 This is a great addition to the stadium, car parking near the ground is always a problem. Imagine if the council had built a park and ride near the ground ,and enabled supporters to park their cars there ,now that would be something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you obviously just make stuff up to suit your own bitter little agenda to have a pop at the club (who have just presented plans to do an exceptional expansion), still I suppose there is no need to back anything up with actual facts at all is there....

redsince1994 Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 I'd much rather have the stadium where it is than a new build outside of the city with ample parking. Those are the only 2 options, we aren't going to be able to have adequate parking facilities whilst still at Ashton Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madison Square Garden does both ice hockey and basketball so it can be done, although no idea what the costs would be like. In fact this sunday evening is an NHL game with harlem globetrotters playing less than 18 hours later. amazing turnaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe i just think a little deeper than you wood _red And dont get blinded by a shiny new building. Most new builds don’t have provision for car parking. Emirates has basically Zero parking, nor does the Amex. These days, you aren’t wanted to travel to venues by car. It’s deliberate, rather than an oversight.

poland_exile Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Ambitious as it is, I miss simpler times. And honestly, I can't get all that excited that we're going to have some swanky offices and a basketball court. I realize we have to move with the times, but to me it just marks another step away from the club I grew up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made my day better already They must be spitting feathers at this latest proposal and phase 2 of the Ahton Gate development. I understand some of them stopped going to watch rugby when it moved to Ashton Gate (and attendances rocketed up), but a lot of them might well struggle with staying away from the basketball arena if/when/should it get finished. Especially if the venue does become a destination for things like boxing or darts which is an otherwise long and expensive journey elsewhere. They'll hate it.
