FanaticRed Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 you better be joking? ceriously, if this stadium doesnt go through this club will be on its knees. Lansdown will leave, without a doubt. the future will be very bleak playing in a 100 year old plus stadium with can not support prem football. we will forever be a bog standard championship club/higher league 1 club. what a dissaster!!!!!!!

Zip Nolan Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Just heard the news, This Council is a complete and utter joke. An unused tip is a Village green, you couldn't make it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scumpydale Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I thought it was all approved apart from the sainsburys application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamite Red Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I have totally given up on this backward City, why wouldn't Lansdown do the same. What a rediculous state of affairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 In fairness the council can't be blamed for this, it was an independant inspector who's obviously believed the lies of the locals. The council can still say no, which would redeem them afte the Sainsurys debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

del ete Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Its certainly not a joke, although it is nothing short of a digrace! Basically it means that we may aswell give up as the council will not approve a new stadium anywhere! If an ex dump / bogland is classed as a Village Green then we have no hope. Bristol really is a disgrace, and will now be the laughing stock of the whole country. i expect Plymouth & Milton Keynes (why they are classed as Southwest god only knows) will be rubbing their hands at this news. Who is responsible for this joke decision? name and shame them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Musicworks Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 This is an absolute disaster that a handful of people can stop a major development for South Bristol and its residents and condemn City to the wilderness. I assume that there will be some kind of appeal but from what I saw at the Council House meeting yesterday and recent Council decisions I suppose we shouldn't be surprised. The Green Mafia have taken over the running of Bristol the future is bleak. It certainly sends out a very clear message to Businesses that want to invest in our city, DON'T BOTHER WE ARE CLOSED FOR BUSINESS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper Job Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I give up on this city. We are obviously destined to be a small back water city with no ambition to move forwards. The elected council is an absolute joke. Will the last one out of Bristol please turn off the lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riaz Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Oh thats ok then, in Bristol City Council we trust! I agree with your point entirely, BUT the council are part of the world cup bid and therefore have invested heavily in our bid for that. Its highly unlikely they will put this through for that very reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Briefly, can someone explain the significance of this, given the council can do whatever they like anyway? Is it just another recommendation? The council tend to ignore these on past experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolman Block B Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Can you remember BS3RED starting this thread sometime back http://www.otib.co.u...30181-bad-news/ Well there was bad news but not exactly as he understood or as he was told.

SC_Red Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 if this is upheld by BCC can I be first to thank Steve Lansdown for all his efforts at the club and wish him all the best in his future in a city that deserves his investment. wouldnt blame you at all for walking away Mr Lansdown.

Barrs Court Red Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I've got to be honest, after reading the comments of CS I feel much better. It seems this is a nightmare for the council, not least because of their plans to sell of green areas in Bristol. I can only hope that because the WHOLE site has been made a VG, that will ultimately be its downfull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Musicworks Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 It now becomes clear why the report has been delayed while the Inspector has been off sick. This has given the Council time to put damage limitation in place. Yes the Council could overturn the decision but would anyone put their money on it. No wonder Simon Rayner looked so smug in the meeting yesterday. Anyway following the Norwich match on October 2nd a delegation is walking to the Council House to present a petition regarding the Sainsburys planning refusal. I hope that fellow City fans appalled by todays Events will join us and demonstrate the depth of feeling surrounding the Stadium Plans. Now more than ever we need to show support for the club and its Chairman. Our club needs us more than ever at this time and whatever is happening on the field for once pales into insignificance against this. The Council still has a chance to overturn this decision lets make them listen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
