Cider red Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 What are peoples views on this?? Now before you bite my head off i know there is a forum for this but you cant have a debate on it. I personally think its a ridiculous idea, the area is intoxicated and is miles away from bristol. We would loose a lot of our fanbase from local areas and it would cost a lot for the club to set up decent transport. I think we should redevelope ashton gate as planned at the end of this season , or as soon as possible , because if we get promotion i dont think we will be relegated and we can build on that and maybe be challenging for promotion to the prem in a few years!

city3rovers2 Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Um, we've talked about this quite a lot on this forum. And obviously on the other forum. Why are you bringing it up again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lockerman Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 We would lose a lot of fans from local based areas ! If this is the case then they cannot call themselves true city fans, I myself travel from Weston foe every match, and I also speak to people who travel from Newton Abbot, Leicester, and Watford for matches, these are not local based fans, so to travel from the Bedminster area isn't that far really, so why should we lose nay of our fan base.

DolmanDudess Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Ashton Gate is the home of Bristol City Football Club and always will be in my oppinion. I for one do not want to go and share a ground with ANYONE nevermind the proposal being to share it with the Gas. I think we should set about re-developing the Gate and s#### these Severnside ideas but if the plans went ahead it would never stop me from supporting the boys. So, if they were true City fans in the local area neither would it stop them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if there is poor transport or none the local fans who walk to the game and dont have cars may not be able to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lockerman Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 I would like to point out that I do not want to move to Severnside either and would like to see Ashton Gate transformed. But as you talk about transport, things are becoming more and more difficult to park near the ground anymore, I for one arrive at 12:00 on match days and go and have something to eat just so that I can park near the ground. So moving to another ground where their will be on site parking has got to be an advantage for some especially as the traffic problems will not get any easier.

Thats because you have to, and the majority of City's regualr attenders live within south Bristol. And If I lived in newton abbot I would probably feel the same way, as thats a long way to travel. City is based in south Bristol and as far as I'm aware of always has, so why should that change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
