City Rocker Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Don't think so. But the current Wickes site is rumoured as a possible future hotel development. Nothing confirmed formally though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawberry2157. Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 I've been told it will be the Bristol sport hotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 It's gonna be houses, a few shops and a storage facility. All the stuff on the other side of the road however, Wickes etc, should hopefully be some news on that early in the new year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 They've started groundworks on the old Cruikshanks site but as Dolly says it's a self storage building with a load (12!) of flats/appartments by side facing the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Dicks Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Probably a load of old tosh but was having a chat with a fella before the Forest match and he reckons all the houses at the Atyeo end have already been bought up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 The old Merc garage has some form of preservation order - or at least the Art Deco work. Expect that to remain come opening time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 If we had the Wickes site - I hope that it's actually turned into a small 3000 in door arena, for the basketball, badminton, tennis, and indoor concerts - a decent approach avenue made into AG, landscaping tieing the 2 venues together sharing bars etc... it could look good. Then in the future, maybe the Braby site one day could be turned into a nice big hotel to tie it all in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Senior level club official has confirmed that those houses are not owned by the club or anyone associated with it and there are no plans for that to change. Buying up those houses would cost half the cost of all our rebuild, before a bulldozer was even booked to start getting rid of them. It's completely and utterly unviable, financially.

They've since applied to have it removed with exception of the tower. However even that's been part demo'd as of this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone at the club say otherwise. One hint of it not being the case would cause the prices to be overinflated. Like they've been the last couple of years. 3 bedroom terrace for £440k..

Nice location though, walking distance of North Street and Ashton Court. Nice views, large park opposite, gyms and cafes on your doorstep and decent bus links.

Even if you take Tom's suggestion of an over-inflated price of £440,000 each, that would be just short of £7,500,000 so nowhere near half of the current re-build cost Not suggesting this is or will happen, just putting the values into perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you'd be looking at similar, or possibly cheaper, to the South Stand for an Atyeo rebuild (no electrical plant etc to move). Therefore £7.5m may be getting close to half the rebuild cost, after all. Obviously this is a pure guess at the cost of the rebuild, so I could be talking utter bobbins!

Say for example person 1 sells for 440k, followed by person 2. In 3 years time the value goes up to say 460k (bear in mind people have caught on to what's happening by now), eventually the value will just keep going up. By the time you've got 1 or 2 houses left, the sellers can basically name their price knowing that the club wants their land to flatten what's on it and expand the stadium/grounds. If they don't sell to the club, they'll sale to someone else meaning the process will take even longer, and probably cost even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
