Welcome To The Jungle Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 FFS, little bit pleased but mostly annoyed that Bristol is just stuck in neutral revving its engine. Someone just push in the clutch and engage 1st gear. A certain MP is going to hear from me very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snufflelufagus Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Even though it is 'them' its a pretty sad state of affairs and puts Bristol as a City in a bad light. Note to all developers. Please don't come to our City were not interested in new Buildings or projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miah Dennehy Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I can't say I'm surprised, it's all a bit tiresome. Regarding our new ground I will believe it when I'm sat in it, the countless images on the front page of the Evening Post over the past 30 odd years of how Rovers new ground 'could' look took their toll ages ago. I actually quite like The Mem (yes really), so won't be too upset if we stay. I know it's a very cliched thing to say, but Bristol? FFS can we please have some sort of facility befitting a city of our supposed status? Arena, tram, football ground- anything!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Net Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 The objectors have formed a Ltd company, to reduce their liaibility for costs if they lose the case.

Protest outside of the council houses by CIty, Rovers and the Rugby Club? Would have been a good idea for Rovers fans to support our initial application rather than start petitions and have links on their forum that were directing people to online petitions against selling Ashton Gate to Sainsbury's. They'll deny it of course but I can't help thinking that their petty mindedness at that time will mean plenty of City fans have little or no sympathy towards their current plight. FWIW I'd like to see both clubs get new stadiums, but as I've said many many times, I'll believe it's happening when I'm sat in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I'd like to see both clubs get new stadiums, but as I've said many many times, I'll believe it's happening when I'm sat in it. I'd go along with that. I think at the time there was a lot of upset from our side that SL had said something along the lines of 'Once we get this stadium, no one will mention Rovers', probably a load of bollocks, but once these rumours start, they get legs pretty quickly. I doubt if a few Rovers fans petty mindedness did have much impact though, once the NIMBYS appeared to be fairly well organised I think your hopes were doomed, although I did think SLs money would have given you more of a fighting chance. I don't think you will ever get a new ground, but then a re developed AG will still be pretty impressive. We still have a chance of our ground, but I wouldn't bet that much on it.

timothy bird Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 After all the gloating they've done its hard to fell sympathy for them! how wrong it all is though! that so few selfish people can manipulate the system I despair sometimes!

B-Rizzle Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Agree with the OP. little bit pleased but disappointed too. I want us both to have new stadiums but I don't want the Gas to beat us to it! Assuming we're going ahead with redeveloping AG at the end of this season, we'll be done in just under 3 years from now. Hopefully this delay for Rovers will mean they're looking at the same time scales, if of course it is a delay and not an ender for the whole UWE project!

Calculus Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 When I first came to Bristol 40 years ago there was no good stadium or concert hall. Education and public transport were a joke. From my POV none of these things have improved due to successive incompetent councils. If Brunel were to turn up in Bristol now and offer to do all the fanatstic things he did do he would doubtless have been run out of town. Would like to think things will change but unforunately i don't. Nobody seems to have the will to make things happen, including a strangely docile and indifferent electorate.

I'm suprised the sainsburys got the go ahead as they already have a massive tesco's in the area as it is, its different to ours as ours was a store relocation, etherway I'm disapointed but also happy because of all the gloating they have done about our situation what goes aroound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
