glynriley Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 It's obvious from all the safe standing areas that the ground caters for rugger buggers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. no it isn't, man u paid 12 million to bring falco on loan last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I try to remain objective and see both sides of an argument whenever I post on here. But the notion that the stadium has been built for the rugby team - a team that has nowhere near the revenue-generating potential of a successful football team, even if it was in the top division - is the biggest load of bollocks I have ever read.

Jack Dawe Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Lee isn't built for rugby, not these days. Not even tall enough for scrum half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that isn't the case, I've got to ask, what are we doing? My original point was a response to someone that said earlier, that if we sign people on loan, that shows we're prepared to pay. I'm saying all that shows me is we're prepared to sign people on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Bristol Rugby average attendances in their last four Premiership seasons: 9k, 10k, 9k, 7k. Yep, definitely built for rugby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ground is now owned by Bristol sport and the priority is the rugby --The sooner the City fans wake up to this the better. I have it on good authority that PP is taking the piss. The sooner otib wake up to this the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, definitely built for rugby. Even if Bristol get promoted and I hope they do I can't see them adding 2/3k to bring them up to 12/13k whereas a successful BCFC 20 odd k week in week out. Still People must be right the ground is for the rugby. I get people are disappointed and I'm not going to list the reasons we've done them to death but this is getting a bit ridiculous its almost as though some of us like being depressed. We could appoint Pochettino and some would moan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
