Dave Youell Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I see that it's up for sale and that the Cricket Club are potentially looking at building there, ironically around the same time as their appeal to the council... Now I know our posisiton is different as we have council backing, but there's a mass load of land with excellent transport links that wants to be bought and built on, with everything that's happening with Ashton Vale now, is it time to look at alternatives that are outside of the Bristol Council's duristiction? Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Youell Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm just trying to be realistic here, Filton is ready to get going with straight away, bet at this rate we could build the stadium before a spade is in the ground as Ashton Vale with all of these challenges. It's not a village green, the only houses that are there have been recently built with excellent road and transport around it, loads of room to build more than just a stadium there. Plus it's still classed as Bristol, honestly couldn't care about Rovers, Liverpool and Everton at within spitting distance, I just want a new stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real_bristol Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 1) I don't want City to leave Bristol 2) South Bristol is real Bristol 3) We have finally got the council's backing for a stadium 4) The JR hasn't been decided A rumour like this is a good idea though as if the council got wind of the fact that the club are considering following the gas out-of-town it might incentivese them further to try and keep us.

eastonboy Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Even though Steve Lansdown has spent 90 odd million on the land at Ashton Vale? No he hasn't - £90m was the projected build cost. He has spent millions on purchasing the land, with a clever buy-back clause should PP be refused, and spent further millions on designing the stadium and professional fees. The design could probably just be lifted from AV and put into Filton anyway(with slight adjustments as the stadium would not have to be recessed/built with flood plain management in mind - probably save a few million on the build cost) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmabbuttshair Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Filton? Really? Oh man, nearest boozer would probably be Stokers or The Plough, no thank-you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage1 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 And you really think this would just sail through and be built just like that? You can bet your life and that of everyone you've ever met that there will be someone or some group that will throw a spanner in the works, like there is for everything in this dump of a country. NO.

Redcliffe 78 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I think Filton airfield is for new build housing. Gloucester Cricket club are considering using the site for a new ground according to reports, we can't move to North Bristol full stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 If City were ever to move from South Bristol, only something in the center would be acceptable. The thought of moving to North bristol just isn't really a nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCAGFC Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 MODs- Might be a good idea to move these sort of threads to the New Stadium Forum as this sort of thing will only be used by the TVGs to enhance their case. BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pride of the west Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Lived in north bristol all my life not far from filton and id hate it if we moved there. It aint right. South bristol is where we belong. We will get there one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjack Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 The BEST and ONLY site for the stadium is EXACTLY where we are planning to build it. I said this years ago when Davidson was trying to move us to Hengrove. Good things come to those who wait, folks. AV will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
