It also includes a line about BCFC players language: 'The last time we were involved with Bristol City Football Club we had to amend our 13th Hole at a cost and considerable disruption to our club and members. On this occasion Bristol City Football Club have been in discussion with our Chairman and Committee and listened to our comments but completely ignored them in their Planning Application. We discussed with Bristol City FC the provision of a "Buffer zone" between their pitches and our 12th hole but they have included one on OUR land. This will mean us having to alter our 12th hole again at whose cost? and considerable disruption again to the club and membership. Bristol City Football players are noisy and use a considerable number of expletives. We currently experience this when we stand on our 14th Tee. I have also noted that BCFC intend raising the levels of the adjacent field which will alter the water table on the golf course unless adequate drainage facilities are provided.' Reminds me of a Golf Club in the Bristol area that I used to be a member at. The Club house veranda overlooked the 18th hole that was in a valley. Anyone speaking on that hole, could be heard on the Veranda. Often fruity language could be heard from those making poor shots into the green. This led to the lady members making an official complaint to the committee. The outcome...lady members were banned from the Veranda... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 We can say Nimby crap but there must be some reservations that are valid for to the golfers. I would agree that the amount of unnecessary use of "footballers language" may be very upsetting to others. Footballers would not use such language at home with wives/girl friends and especially their children so why is it necessary on the training ground. The claims about being hit by a football are almost irrelevant as one assumes a netting barrier will be installed. The drainage installed under the pitches will be tons better than an ordinary field so no flooding will be caused by the football pitches to the golf course. Have the club just ploughed ahead with the planning application or did they try to sell it to the golf club and it's members before planning application?

Esmond Million's Bung Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Oh the stories I could tell about golf clubs. But I would be seriously worried about waking up to a burning cross on my lawn and men riding around on horseback a whooping and hollering and wearing white clothing. Even in France.

View from the Dolman Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 The golf club certainly seem organised in their objections... This objection caught my attention: "One road, which at times can be very busy already, and this proposal for a 500 seater stadium seems extreme indeed. Could the present road cope with that increase in traffic? I think not." Stadium? Definitely not overdoing it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I went past this week and noticed the driving range had floodlights on!!! Objections are irrelevant in a sense. Unless there is some sort of proper legally blind reason why they can’t give planning permission they are somewhat futile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 So the Planning Officers, the professional civil servants, recommend approval. Doesn't mean the elected council will do the same. We know how much damage they can do because they look at it emotionally rather than professionally and practically.

No. They depend on the votes of golfers to get re-elected! And if it's like most golf clubs, if you don't have a personalised number plate or one issued since 2017, you are one of the cleaners or groundstaff!

Given how hard it is to build anything in this city I'm surprised there hasn't been a rise in YIMBY groups looking for influence in the council. Hell, given how the mayor seems to have done **** all for the past few years, I reckon that someone that campaigns on the sole basis of fast-tracking new development in the city (new arena, new training ground, new stadium for UWE and the gas) would probably storm to victory.
