Between heaven and hell Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Well we are obviously not prepared to pay the sort of wages to attract exciting goal scoring players that will improve our squad. We are showing no ambition with the likely recruitment of Lee Johnson as our next manager. So you have to assume that the ground development has been put In place for premiership rugby and not Bristol City FC. None of the above will increase our season ticket sales going into a 27,000 capacity stadium. Very poor decisions being made at the top IMO. Gutted!

Anglia Red Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 The fact that the new side on West stand is so huge and the South end relatively small -(ends are poor viewing for rugby) might support your theory somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My god there has been some rubbish on this forum over the years, but none more so than today! Where to start with this post? 1. Failure to sign a striker has been nothing to do with wages. 2. Lee Johnson is regarded as one of the most promising young coaches in the country. 3. The rugby will never bring as much as football will; Lansdown knows that. 4. I'd like to offer a bet to anyone that next season we will have more season ticket-holders than this. Get a grip people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told weeks ago that Lansdown was favouring the rugby club and that is where the bulk of the money will be going.

Ownership of the stadium HAS NOT changed since Bristol Sport was created. It remains in Ashton Gate Limited, a subsidiary of Bristol City Holdings. Why should anyone wake up to a total lie?

Rudolf Hucker Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 We could really do with the ability to allocate "Dislikes" as well as "Likes" to posts on this forum @Tomarse I would have used up a whole bagful already today - a couple on this thread alone including to both the OP and the Purple Gashead.

It wasn't actually me that said it. However, getting people in on loan is far cheaper (reduced wages, no fee) and all it shows me is that we are prepared to fill half the team with loan signings. Look at the centreback that we're useless without, someone else's player, look at the striker we were hoping for, looks like it'll be some else's player again (if we get one at all). Watching the team this season is a bit misleading as so many regulars have been on loan and will be saying goodbye come May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's been a while since we knocked them down but I don't remember the East end being bigger than the Williams!? Although the Atyeo is twice as big as the Dolman so maybe you have a point!

Not sure how it works in rugby either but teams like Saracens are obviously getting round it. They are said to be £45 million in dept but with a South African owner worth Six Billion they're not to bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will with the Rugby in the Premiership and the City in league one and that's the way it's heading. 4. Only by offering dirt cheap tickets so people end up buying loads of kids seats that aren't used or only go now and again which is why there are so many empty seats around when our games are so say sell outs.
