I don't think any of our supporters should give him their money, no matter if he sells a good pint, for what he did and tried to do to our club. I'M FOR A BOYCOTT OF THE TOBACCO FACTORY.

He once argued against a proposal to site the new arena at AV. Arguing that all places of entertainment should be in town centres, that didn't stop him opening the tobacco factory theatre in Ashton. Oh by the way, at the time of his opposition to this proposed sighting of the arena at AV, he was part of a consortium to build an arena at Temple Meads. For the record I agree with the TM site for the arena, I just don't like his hypocrisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until there is polling or similar, I can't imagine any major changes. That said, it looks like a two horse race between labour (Marvin Rees) and George Ferguson. I believe there is some form of transferrable vote system used, hopefully many will vote tactically in the second round if they want to see Ferguson out.

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I don't see how he can win. Turnout was small and of our total electorate in Bristol he got 9 or 10 percent...that's a ridiculously low mandate. Gotta go and I'm sure he will, he's pissed plenty off in his nearly four years in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like home brew. Fergusson leaves an unpleasant taste in my mouth. I only referred to the beer because a few past posters mentioned they were good, but they were also very supportive of the man in general anyway.

ten minutes of rough Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I don't live in Bristol, but was borne and went to school there, but I think I know a waste of space when I see one, this guy is so anti BCFC it's untrue, calling Ashton Gate a new landmark, how the ****ing hell dare he, he doesn't give a toss about the tradition that is Bristol City, the ghosts of players past and the fans too, just a self serving creep in the same mould of that one over the Pond that is Trump Tosser. Get him out before Bristol becomes the biggest laughing stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I saw a a flyer on a bus that suggested Stoney was standing again. Any idea what his manifesto is? The Flyer was big on him being being local, not so clear was what he was going to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 The Cattle Market Tavern is owned by the City council. It bought the pub and the wood project site behind it, when compulsory purchasing the old Royal mail sorting office. There are plans for flats, shops and restaurants for the Royal Mail site but, no decision has been made on the pub or wood project site, though the council are trying to find a new site for the wood project. Probably somewhere out of the way and un-intrusive to visitors, how about college green? We had a wood project there a few years back which seemed to be welcomed by councillors. Perhaps an independent brewer of fine ales could take a lease on the pub and sell non profit making cheap beer to all Arena visitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
