Barrs Court Red Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Barbera Janke (known for her Internet page, blue waffle) who is head of BC council, is stepping down. He's been a major supporter of the stadium project despite those in her party being against it. An Arena is now planned for the land by Temple Meads, another potential carrot that could of been used to make sure the council continue to support the scheme.

CotswoldRed Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Will take more than that to bury the project. Stay positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Who would of thought that we would be beaten by a couple of hundred old timers? If the stadium is built, they probably won't be around to know!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doncaster did it a couple of years ago and have been lumbered with a former National Front member with the IQ of a particularly stupid gnat and they've had to pay someone a vast amount of money to come in and hold his hand. In te meantime nothing gets done because of legal wrangling over things he promised that he can't deliver. Be very careful what you wish for...

Northampton Red Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Monkeh-you seem to know a bit about the construction business...All this talk of a double-dip recession and how construction is struggling, surely a project like Ashton Vale should get the green light eventually?! Wish we had the balls in this country just to build things and get it done. Don't think it's just a Bristol mentality, a lot of NIMBYism takes place in this country at a time when we are running out of homes alongside a growing population. Do these people believe they are living in some green utopia where land and resources are infinite?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Casual Connoisseur Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Rip out the seats at both ends, that'll bring the capacity up to 30,000. I'm getting bored of this stadium stuff, ever decreasing circles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in the rail and construction industy and all the red tape you have to go through to get anything done is stupid in contruction we spend more on paperwork then on mats to get the job done, and the laws in this country are designed to hold things up so consoltancy firms and legil firms can make money, to be honest this won't be finished until it goes to the house of commons and the sec of state and thats about 5 years away yet, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
