Lanterne Rouge Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 He was being interviewed about the Government sports rescue funding and was mainly discussing rugby and basketball but they did touch on football and he said we were losing money in a big way but hoped the Premier League aid scheme would go some way towards addressing that. He seems to be the media`s go to guy if they want an interview these days but I guess publicity like this only helps to raise our profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr X Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 It’s times like these you realise how lucky we are to have Lansdown in charge who can cover the fall in income compared to a lot of other football league clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense for the media to talk with him, owns a few sporting enterprises and is a fiancé guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveybadger Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Didn’t hear it but on the Gloucester rugby forum they were scathing about him, saying he didn’t come across well and should dig into his pockets a bit more. Bit of a tricky one for me as a BCFC / GRFC fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenred Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Not going to be a popular opinion on here with a lot I know, but government (taxpayer) handouts are right and proper for those clubs and owners that are desperately in need. Clubs owned by Billionaire tax exile owners are not high up on that list imho, so it was a bit odd to hear one bemoaning the amount of money being handed out by the government and for the Today Programme to go to him for his opinion in the first place. This isn’t a slight on what SL has done for BCFC btw before anyone wades in, just on this particular radio article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a massive GRFC fan - it was the money that Bristol spent on advertising when they got promoted back to the Prem that stuck in my throat.

Well quite! For what it’s worth I actually think he’s legit in terms of rugby salary cap stuff, as he’s been pretty consistent on this and FFP in football. However the amount Bris spend on marquee players is inflationary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple as that I can’t quite see him as that given City links, but as per above reply spending the amount Bris do on marquee players is not good for the game.
