Why would theirs be that expensive? they need to do a bigger development then we did in a tighter bit of space then us, the cost of construction materials post brexit to deal with as well, anyway this isn't the worst of the news apparently due to come out, there's rumours of bills not being paid since march with solicitors letters being sent (separate from the ground thing) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gert Mare Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 BR15FC.....30 years of talking about their new ground in NeverNeverLand. Mangotsfield, Severnside, UWE, Avonmouth 1987-2017 RIP. Long may the thousands continue to be locked out. No wonder they obsess about away attendances. They'll be playing away permanently at this rate! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They own the land, and the rebuild wouldn't be as complex as ours was. The Millenium Stadium cost £120m, albeit a few years back now. This is more comparable to Rotherham's ground, which cost £20m.

Please don't pander to the 1982 taunt. It was an administrtive action. We remained Bristol City and are a club with a long and proud history. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The home end (no idea what it is called) is also pretty cramped to the houses on whatever the road there is ? Filton Ave? Only on the sides is there really sufficient room to expand.

Port Said Red Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Plan B? just identifying a feasible parcel of land in around Bristol will be a task in itself, some of the previous suggestions like Avonmouth or Cribbs have seen projects swallow up the larger areas available. The ability to improve the mem is limited to say the least, no hotel, no conference facilities, certainly nothing to rival Ashton Gate which has, according to business contacts I know, become the first choice in the Bristol area. No income means Wally pulling out I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both clubs fans live off of minor achievements and happy memories of various minor league promotions and players we loved etc. The brutal truth is both clubs have mostly been utter rubbish. city had a good period 1905-10 and a cup final 1909 and a 5 year spell in the top division in the 70"s and thats it Rovers came 5th in what is now the championship in the 50"s and a hard working team that briefly held its own in the championship under gerry francis in 1991 So from a neutrals point of view its a crap club v a crappier club Perhaps that explains the massive thread? the only measure of city success is that they are historically the crap club not the crappier club.? Luckily our new owner is going to change that in the near future. Oh ah? How's that working out for you!! But all joking aside, and in the spirit of Bristolian camaraderie, I've done a bit of research to help you overcome this latest setback... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Colby-Tit Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 All Wally needs to do now is produce an artists impression of a redeveloped Mem, and the gullible fools will be happy for another five years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because ours was a semi decent ground before work started. Even with parts of the ground knocked down, it was still better than their pit. They have a lot of work to do to get it up to the standard of the old Ashton Gate, let alone anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Can they afford to lose ticket revenue for a few years whilst the Mem is redeveloped? It hit City hard when we were operating with a reduced capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 What I heard was that Wally Al Qaeda doesn't want to rent the land the stadium is built on and so wants to buy the land for £2m (the alleged value, but this is likely using #GasLogic) and the UWE are asking £10m, which the slags are refusing to pay. I would half expect this "withdraw" to be part of the bargaining process to rob someone else of their land for a fraction of its worth. It's not like they haven't got form for this already, is it?!?
