Not true.  Bristol City FC Ltd together with Ashton Gate (Stadium) Ltd are part of Bristol City Holdings Ltd.  BCH does not trade itself.

Both BCFC Ltd and Bristol Bears Ltd pay rent to AGLtd.

Both also pay Bristol Sport Ltd for shared services like Ticket Sales, Marketing, etc.

Here’s a little pic (created by @Coppello initially).

In fairness to MA, and I disliked massively how he acted here, I don’t ever recall him blaming other parts of SL’s group of companies.  You, yourself might’ve been fobbed off by some employees, granted.

See above.  The club accounts refer to this.

‘Incorrect’ rather than untrue? The football and rugby are tenants who pay to use the stadium. You could argue this is no difference from if the stadium and club were one entity, because the upkeep has to be paid for somehow, but at least the club could decide what happens to the seating arrangement which is what this thread is all about.

Any evidence for that?

The club is split into 3 separate companies. BCFC, Ashton Gate Stadium & Bristol Sport. This holy trinity is used as smoke screen when you try and pin someone down to get something done. Each part will say it’s one of the others who is to blame. This was Mark Ashton’s favourite game.

The SLO regurgitates the same line whenever you try and get a straight answer. 

This has nothing to do with Bristol City FC. It’s an Ashton Gate Stadium decision. The football club is a tenant that rents the ground on match days, which is why they are reluctant to do any modifications or ‘improvements’ for football as this could upset the next event.
