If I was a businessman with complete ownership of a struggling Rugby and Football club, I would be talking to the owner of the soon-to-be-non-league club in Bristol and finding out exactly what it would take for him to walk away.
I would then, if I was a man who appears to hold grudges and was so insecure as to become bitter and angry at reasonable questioning, think about the best way to make money, with no regard to history and support.
I would merge both teams, sell both grounds and build a stadium somewhere with good transport near the city.
That stadium would have the best facilities outside of London or Manchester for concerts, events and sports. Bars, accommodation, restaurants and 24/7 access and use.
It would have 2 tenants. Bristol Rugby Club, and Bristol United FC.
It doesn't matter if City or Rovers fans boycott - we stopped being the "desired customers" a long,long time ago.
And if the seventh richest man in England can't do it, then who can?
There have been whisperings of this for 18 months now. I know for 100% that a fair few others have heard this as well.
I hope a Bristol United never happens...It would be a plastic club to me, and it would mean having to support a different team than Bristol City, something I don't think I could ever do...
