Lanterne Rouge Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 It is shite like this why Bristol is, and always will be the biggest village in the country. If Brunel was alive today he`d have had to have buggered off to Cardiff or somewhere to be able to actually get anything done. I wonder how many of the members of these parish councils are also members of the golf club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Highly profitable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 “The facilities will be impacting the area substantially – Bristol City are a hugely profitable organisation who should contribute to the community.” So in other words give us money or we'll reject your proposal, sounds real ethical.... As for the part in bold errr really? Have they seen our annual reports? Also for lack of parking, if the current parking on site is also available they have more than enough parking for an academy.

Rich Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 The local shyte stirring parish councillors are after one thing only, Section 106 agreements with payments from the developers, going to so called previously planned road improvements. As one scheming swine put it, Bristol City (Mr Lansdown) are a wealthy business and need to contribute to the community. They are openly demanding a bribe, in order for them to support the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Hugely profitable? I hope these parish council members aren't in to share dealing. They won't be buying shares to make their futures secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the original concern was raised by the poor old golf club members, concerned that they might get hit by a wayward football. Along with their ears being assaulted by bad language from low life footballers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the place that elected Liam Fox by a total landslide... Which was the only local authority that decided not to join the combined West of England authority? North Somerset. Why?

italian dave Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 What total b**ks. Bristol City is most evidently NOT a hugely profitable concern. It's a hugely loss making concern. How can people get away with statements like that unchallenged? Saying that Steve L is wealthy is a bit like saying that the combined wealth of all the members of Long Ashton Golf Club is huge, therefore the golf club should be doing something for he local community. But I suspect that there are more North Somerset and Long Ashton councillors who belong to the golf club than are season ticket homered at City. And - as a resident of N Somerset - I've come to realise that in this part of the world we still live in the 19th century, where Liam Fox thinks we should be trading with Persia and Mesopotamia, rather than Germany, and where in local politics it's all about who you know.

Sweeneys Penalties Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 We as fans have an interest in Bristol City's improvement. Sadly, there are a large number of people who haven't the slightest interest whatsoever and will do their utmost to hinder so they can make a bit of a name for themselves before the next Parish elections. As a fan of Bath Rugby as well, frustration by self appointed self interested little groups is part and parcel of getting the tiniest thing done. I'm fed up with hearing about it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those in Long Ashton and Failand live closer to the City centre with all its amenities, while paying a lower Council tax rate than Bristolians.

Cowshed Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 It is not unusual for academy training facilities to be accessed by local junior clubs and schools. The club are not highlighting how this facility would benefit the local community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely spot on Slarti. There has been a constant flow of negative stories about BCFC in recent times, most of it nothing to do with the actual playing side, let alone throughout the six decades I've followed their biased coverage of football in Bristol. One can only assume now, it's because City are by far the bigger more newsworthy club in the region, so therefore attracting more readers. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the historically favourable press for BRFC coupled with shyte stirring for BCFC, due to the editorial staff and their long term associations with BRFC.
