ChippenhamRed

They have the ambition we lack. This is another triumph of fear over hope for us.

Oh dear.

Posh wrapped up the win 1-3

Blimey Havana you ain't half confident in your predictions aren't you. There's still half an hour to go in that game!

Get in!!

5 minutes after the goal....you're causing confusion!

Interested to hear how we look playing 442 v our usual 352?

How bad does the Smith injury look? Key player!

Strange sub too.

it won't be that score for long.

Can I have tonight's lotto numbers please?

RB manage to get match reactions from non - league southport (200 miles away) on time, but not AG, 4 miles away.

I'm not sure distance is particularly relevant in the digital age, I don't think the audio clips are sent by carrier pigeon.

I suspect more to do with who emerges from the dressing room first.

Our club is so amateur at times it's painful.

How can we ever aspire to better things with decision making like this going on behind the scenes.

I would love it if we won but I think we had our chance at ashton gate I know we came from behind in that game but if we were to beat them then our home tie should of been our advantage away from home is much harder and Watford are a good championship side I think we will struggle to score tonight but COYR anyway ill be listening still

Anyone else out of breath?

Going to be losing quite a few balls in the building site tonight I suspect.

1-1 pens seconded. COYR!

Stone-COLD penalty FFS. I'll take it, though

Have you seriously not heard of the phrase 'stonewall'?

The lino is guessing from there. No way he could be certain.

The way Clarke Carlisle talks about that slope, you'd think it was the north face of the Eiger.

Interviewer "What do you need to instil in this team?"

Steve Cotterill "I don't know"

Cracking news,never fancied watching us in a stadium that was over half empty every other week anyway

This argument represents a very short term view.  Ultimately the new stadium would give the club a chance to be more financially sustainable, be able to attract better players, and ultimately be more successful.  This would then bring in the bigger crowds.  I just don't think the redeveloped AG could do this to the same extent.

Not for me. A shiny new Stadium with all the added benefits would have been great and my preference but this is a very good "next best thing" IMO.

 

I won't be at all disappointed if/when we re-develop Ashton Gate.

Disagree.  Compared to a brand new stadium this is a very poor alternative.  That's why it was only proposed once it became apparent the new stadium may never happen. 

A revamped AG will never be able to generate the revenue a new stadium would have.  On top of that, the new stadium was achitecturally different whereas the redeveloped ground is much more the like the 'souless bowl' we all fear.  If we are forced to choose this distinctly second-best option it will be to the deteriment of the club and the city and, for me, will forever be a symbol of Bristol's antipathy towards sport and progress in general.
