  1. I've seen Clifton RFC's name chucked around on here as an option for the sags. I don't know how many people have been there but I've seen a number of Bristol Rugby friendlies there and there is absolutely zero infrastructure for any sort of immediate ground share. 

    While there is a decent amount of land there (probably the equivalent of 5 full size pitches) it is way out in the sticks and parking for a few hundred cars would be a nightmare let alone those that come with 6 or 7 thousand fans.

    As for a redeveloped Mem, that's been on the cards in various forms for decades and no one has come up with a sensible proposal due to the footprint of the ground. The thought of 'world class' stadium developers producing anything of note there is frankly laughable. At best I believe they'd be looking at an all seated capacity in the region of 14k max. Still, the sprinklers and curtains would be world class.

  2. Come on, give the poor buggers a break. I can imagine the board meeting now:

    "Gentleman, we have a tough choice to make. It's either a new sprinkler, a spruce up of the carpets and curtains, a few plastic chairs and give the canopy a quick once over or..... we invest in an electronic ticketing system"

    "Well it's a no brainer.... the carpets. That way we may get a tenner left over to invest in a few new players"
