Billie Piper, Melinda Messsenger, Mark Lamarr……..it’s a cultural hotbed

This application is the only official plans there have been but even the original illustrative images had a linked bridge to the lansdown. The main intention being access to the suites in the upper lansdown as there won’t be much other facilities along the side of the arena.

Although the arena will have a relatively small concourse, they could of course open up the lansdown concourse for concerts/live events

The other thing that strikes me as odd, is that there are no shared facilities with the Lansdown stand, which could easily have been accessed with bridges, linking the arena to the restaurants and toilet blocks at different levels. Perhaps this is intentional, for future sub division of the site, who knows?

There will be a bridge linking the lansdown to the hotel/SCC so that facilities can be shared

Looking at the size of the station planned I can't ever see it open anytime near a matchday

I believe this is the issue with an AG station.   As much as a station there would be feasible if/when the line opens up for commuter trains, the applicants (SL) were advised the station would have to be shut on football/rugby games due to over capacity…..bonkers!

SL can’t really do anything. All he can do is push the council/network rail to invest/support a larger station there which we may or may not get in 5/10/15/20 years

Current timeline for the completion of the Portishead line is early to mid 2024 at the earliest, they haven't even finally decided where the station in Portishead is going to go so I wouldn't be holding your breath for ashton gate halt to reopen. I'm wondering with all this working from home whether there will be any demand for commuting into central Bristol going forward. 

Although working from home has proved doable, once full restrictions are lifted, office based workers will start returning to offices en masse although with many negotiating 1/2 days working from home. 

For those of you interested, full planning application now in with BCC

Unfortunately, when he did get game time here, he had about as much effect on the match as an advertising hoarding.

Whether he should have had more time is a moot point.  That he didn't impress when he was on the pitch is not.

Wow....you’ve based that critique on 1 start and 2 sub appearances.

Hardly fair for a young players first couple of outings in the championship.....what were you expecting, a messi-like impact?

On the Barton out thread in gaschat 

“I often wonder if some of these postings are done by a few city fans, trying to drop a bit of ear poisen in just to sit back and watch the fireworks.
If somebody says something a little provocative just reply back with "ok" and just keep repeating, when the troll realises hes not going to be fed he'll just move on, if enough of us do it they end up moving on altogether.”

Rovers fans loitering around caravans....how ironic

Sing along..........2-0 up, 3-2 down.....joey Barton is a clown 

Both new managers put thank you messages out on Twitter the other day, check the comments / re-tweets / likes.....about 1:3 in Nigel’s favour

I would say that ties-in very nicely with the club’s fanbase ratio

Will he be the first manager in history to go down twice within the space of 5 weeks?

Three times once he hits the clink showers

Given that he got dogs abuse down the Gate when he took Barnsley there after a very successful playing career with us, I'll say 10 max.

I must have blinked when that happened

Must be very weird for London. A few days ago they were bigging it up over the rest of us when they could attend football, now they can’t have Xmas dinner with Grannie.

I fear you`ll be proved correct - I`m resigned now to not getting back to AG this season. It`s the speed of everything and the constant one step forward and two steps back that`s making a mess of it all. Bristol may well be supposedly going back to Tier 2 but that could change in an instant if the figures do.

Well yes, thems the rules and have been for weeks and there is every likelihood that as soon as rules are relaxed, numbers will go up again if people aren’t sensible. 

but nothing announced today has an impact on Boxing Day in Bristol

Bristol just reverts to tier 2 Boxing Day so carry on as normal (as long as Wycombe allowed to travel)

Personally I am more than happy that large parts of Kingswood/Patchway are classified as outside of the city.

As for Filton Avenue, that is the far North, all a bit too Gloucestershire/Gas for my liking..

No surprise it is in tier 3 then, (unhygienic lot).

Your thinking is so 1980s.  As a born and bred Kingswood boy and now a resident of north Bristol for the past 14 years, I can absolutely assure you there are as many city in these areas as there are rovers.

As for unhygienic, I’ll have you know I change my underwear at least once a week

Unfortunately we are in South Glos which had low figures before but was lumped into Tier 3 with Bristol and North Somerset because they shared the same City in parts but has now been separated as its infection figures are now higher. I presume that season ticket holders in South Glos will now be excluded from any ballot. To say that my boy is a little miffed would probably not cover it.

It’s ridiculous really considering they pulled Bristol/south glos and North Somerset together as a region when initially deciding on tiers as they are so intrinsically linked yet have now decided large chunks of suburban Bristol remain in tier 3!

perfect example is my old stomping ground, Kingswood. The black horse pub sits right on the boundary line and can now open up but a bloke living in a flat across the road cant go for a pie and a pint as he would be travelling across a tier!
