It will be held in Bristol in 2020. The new 100,000 seater Wael Al Qadi Stadium will be finished by then and that`s all UEFA are waiting for.

If I remember correctly there is a champions league final every single ******* year. What’s going to bring in more money, hundreds of football fans at a bar, or a vegan festival? I would imagine that the vegan thing will bring in a lot more money than a few people, maybe, going along to watch a European fixture that will be available to watch in most pubs around Europe.

How many thousands would you expect to be attracted to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather cut my left testicle off than spend the day around a load of vegans, personally..! However, I would think that what appears to be quite a big event in the organic lettuce eating calendar, will probably attract several thousand people. Throughout the summer there will probably be wedding fares, business expo’s, amongst many other things - all bringing in money and introducing thousands of new people to Ashton Gate, as a venue. I’m just gutted that we haven’t heard of the opportunity to watch Home Alone in the car park from our cars. That would be genius..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I am aware but veggies account for 2% of the population and many of these are transient veggie teenagers who quickly revert to eating meat. I don't think the numbers likely to attend make AG a worthy venue, but we'll see, maybe the bands will get a decent number in even if the food stalls on offer are not an attraction to many.

A quick google search suggests that 1 in 8 adults have turned veggie. Probably only until they smell a bacon sandwich, but it’s a growing “fad”. Sadly one that attracts grown men to put on a pair of tights and get in the way of cars on the road, in the name of being a ****/cyclist..!

Nogbad the Bad Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 It's estimated that around 2% of the UK population is vegetarian, which is more than 1.2 million people. Teenagers make up the highest proportion. Vegans are thought to make up less than 1% of the population, according to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey.

Would guess that the promoters of VegFest have paid a fixed fee to rent the space at Ashton Gate and they hope to recoup their outlay from ticket sales and exhibitors paying a premium to display their produce. So yes. The club get a hefty fee for renting out space and the benefit of being able to sell a captive audience beer all day at a price that probably makes them even more money. No one turns up or it rains all day, can't imagine the club will care, glorious day and thirsty punters everywhere, bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wouldn`t be anyone making a fuss if the final was Valencia v Borussia Dortmund. A few just like to beat the club with any stick that comes to hand, no matter how tenuous. I doubt anyone complaining had any intention of going within a mile of AG tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
