    Because they stupidly put a guided bus route over part of it. To be honest they should have never removed the other end that ran from BTM under St Mary Redcliffe and to the MShed. Could have made the basis of a simple light railway from BTM, MShed/Centre, Create Centre, Ashton Gate .. hindsight eh. 

    I had to edit my post when I realised this. Totally agree.

    I came across that video by accident when I was looking at some old videos of bristol harbourside railway line which got me thinking.

  2. Why can't this line also be used to get fans to ashton gate on match days? it's all about getting cars off the road. Ofcourse it will need updating.

    After checking google I noticed the metro has gone over the line at the end of this video. So why couldn't they have incorperated the line all the way down to the fly over.

    P.s. after looking at the video it might have been quicker to walk

    I really do wonder how H&S have allowed that as a permanent structure. If the weather is as bad as is being forecast, then I fear for the local residents.

    It passed H&S because it has got a fire hose on standby, but gas being gas they've turned the water supply off to save money

    When are they gonna drop this 'Family Club' shite? Banning orders galore over at the dump, racist chanting, punching shirters, head butting mini buses, punching stewards and horses, and opposition players in the back of their net. Nothing 'Family' about the Sags at all. They couldn't be more further from being a family club if they tried. Just refer to themselves as what they really are 'The Tinpot Bristol Club'.

    Yes but they are a pirate family club. That means they can do what they want compared to the rest of the football world. 

    (adams family tune) The pirate family... doo doo da doo

    The Dolman redevelopment was planned and executed brilliantly. Im not trying to take anything away from the achievement but we paid them to do a job and they did what we asked, pretty much flawlessly. We enjoyed such a flawless construction because we were able to pay for a top class firm to deliver the project, the sags couldn't do this.

    The only issue with the LS was the required 14 month build time.

    The Memorial will have far greater challenges than we faced. Construction traffic access, keeping the ground open during the work, nearby houses, and most importantly the very tight space. We had far more space to work with than they have, and was able to keep the stadium open, something im not sure they could.

    Im not even sure rotating the stadium would give much more space and that would present a million more problems.

     

    They could solve their problems by building undeground where they naturally live anyway.

  6. My first time here and very impressive. Good food and alcohol in the ground. Working wifi (good when you get here so early!) and great looking stadium. Pitch looking tip top as well.

    only slight annoyance is literally no boozers anywhere near the ground.

    Didn't take them long to fill in the gaps. 

     

    I noticed they got the seagulls on the seats, interesting idea perhaps we can incorperate suspension bridge and robin into the Dolman stand. Would look a lot better than the bristol we got there at the moment. 

  7. Unfortunately, we just cannot seem to get a squad that works, we have tried 3 managers, and various formations and players, but for whatever reason, we seem to be full of errors. Now of course errors make chances, but we seem to be the most adept team over 4 seasons at playing ourselves into trouble. Take Saturday, or another own goal by Flint, the terrible Gillet pass. I mean how as a manager can you deal with that, what can you do ? I genuinely cannot recall a period in my years (40) of watching City where I have seen us make so many self inflicted errors. I have seen us be poor due to lack of ability, beaten by better sides, have  squad ruined by injury, a one off wrong tactical choice, freak goals, but never ever have I seen game in game out comical defending and continual basic errors. Never. But it covers many managers, god knows how many players. It is not normal. 

     

    Still, all we can do is stick together, this is a time when all of us, players , fans and manager have to get backs to the wall. it will not be pretty, it will be rough, but we need to keep our sorry arses in this league, and we won't do that by falling out with each other. At home games, fans have to give it their all, that is all we can do, and then end of season someone really needs to work out the curse that is BCFC :-( 

     

    A lot of hard work needed.

    We've been cursed, I said before get a priest in.
