HIGHRIDGE BCFC Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Really good read that. Thanks! Interesting to read his remarks on the difference in facilities between here and Birmingham. How old does Temple Meads look up to the new modernised New Street station! And let's not even get started on the arena or metro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't really compare Birmingham and Bristol though too massively different Cities It's Okay to want to aspire to something much bigger and greater but Bristol would never be anything like Birmingham (PS I hate Birmingham New Street / Grand Central) This was an interesting line. . . . In five short years Kelly has set up Ashton Gate’s own catering company on site and grown the income stream for food and drink from £250,000 to £6million a year.

Robbored Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 MA was quest speaker at Senior Reds today. Did a Q&A session walking around with the microphone . Did a decent job as per usual but I didn’t ask him to get MKelly to pull his finger out and the Dolman tannoy sorted. Missed opportunity there...........

TonyTonyTony Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Good read that. Interesting that they feel they are missing out on 13 million revenue a year on conferences by not having accommodation on site. That’s an easy ROI calculation for the hotel Onwards and Upwards !

He was always a pleasant chap and genuinely listened to what we were saying when we used to deal with him on the S82 stuff. He did once accidentally copy me into an email which he meant for Dave Storr, which wasn’t his usual pleasant self, but I’ve let him off that and moved on. He’s done a great job here. Hats off to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many stale pies and fake bottles of Fanta do the other lot sell in comparison? They must sell at least £50 worth of stale pies and fake Fanta every home game, times that by 23, that's a good £1150 a season, impressive figures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
