Kingswood Robin Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Bristol, it's the worlds biggest village! I think you'll find that's Munich (Millionendorf). They seem to sort out sports facilities for fun there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I suppose, we could branch out into dog racing or even allow gypsies to move on there in the mean time to give the nimby's grief. Before long, they will be begging for us to build a stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Along with a "state of the art traveller camp" approved by the goverment.. Now that would be funThey're still pushing to build one of them up at the UWE but for a JR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54-46 Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Ahh I see, thanks. Do they have any power to stop the JR now that it's been requested though? Sounds like the sort of thing that bureaucracy wouldn't allow. In truth I don't really care where we end up playing, but I'd really hate for us to stop fighting and let the nimbys get their way. I can't claim to know what the AV site looks like / size etc. but I reckon it should be used for regular concerts along the lines of Finsbury Park. After seeing the debauchery there this summer for the Stone Roses gigs, the nimbys would be begging for football fans every weekend instead!

Major Isewater Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 It certainly is. I love it here but it's so frustrating sometimes. Feels like nothing good or sensible ever happens without a massive and entirely unnecessary fight. Reminds me of my first marriage . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebristolred Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Not the way i'm reading it, the board and even at least one of the councillors has said AV is still the preferred option, I would be very disappointed if we don't at least give it a good go, **** the nimbys we owe those ***** nothing. Not often I agree with you mate but this is spot on. While it would be nice to stay at Ashton Gate with the right redevelopment, this redevelopment is not the right one. It is pretty bland, it even has a pillar ffs, and it dooms us to peeking as a Championship, or at best, yo-yo club. The infrastructure will not compare to the one which would be in place with AV, and it almost as if it's accepting failure, despite our rare position as a club which could easily sustain PL football, if we ever got there. The board, at a time where confidence in them is at it's lowest, have a great opportunity here to pursue the Ashton Vale dream and give us a stadium which not only looks awesome, but gives us unlimited possibilities in the future.

ciderbeans Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Maybe winning the original doubters over to believing the Ashton gate development is a good idea, is a means to saying, 'your okay with that, so there shouldn't be a problem with Ashton vale' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time that the landowners, who've been accused of all sorts of evil dirty tricks, actually pulled a few out of the bag to counter all the utter bulshyte and lies spouted about the application for a TVG, after all what have they got to lose now?As I see it, it's possible that having agreed to a housing development on the site, it proves that they were using the law to stop a development and not to get a TVG. Other TVGs have been cancelled due to actions like that, so I'm led to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinmabbuttshair Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Nuclear power plant built by Mr Burns and managed by Homer Simpson. Tough to build a power station with out lots and lots of water. Cement factory and or incinerator on the other hand would be excellent. I'll be looking for a job in about 18 months. This would be perfect. Stay at the gate and a nice new job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Can someone explain what all this means in a way that a knuckledragging alcoholic can understand ?Thank you pleaseFrom one knuckledragging bag of piss to another, I think: AG is to be developed - barring idiots carrying on like c units and holding things up. They should be overcome this time. Think Uncle Steve may be on about purchasing the AV land, which he can then do what he likes with other than build a football stadium. Thirdly, the council may be on about building on the ground themselves, we're hoping it's something particularly unpleasent just to piss the nimbys of. And finally, the Council Houses are now called Toad Hall due to a bloke with a liking of red trousers who also happens to be a ******* idiot. Hope this helps but I would advise a second opinion.
