sticks 1969 Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) Part of me wishes they were in the same league as us and giving us some proper competition. love or hate it the 89/90 season it was brilliant the way we were swapping top spot some weeks and having a real interest on how they were getting on ill go and get a very heavy duty tin hat.....

It goes back generations - there are 80/90year old blokes in nursing homes in this City who's Red v Blue rivalry began in the 1940/50s and I'd bet a pound to a penny at some point today in those homes the old banter surfaced once again... And Red 90 yr olds are still enjoying the upper hand over the Gas that has lasted them a lifetime, 'don't let it die'.

Hyatt will take on the running of the Ashton Gate hotel when the development is complete. Well let's hope so, the prospect of a 'Riot House, Ashton Gate' is rather a compelling one. Invoking the ill-behavior of yer Morrison/Moon/Page/Plant/Hendrix/Richards et al may not sit comfortably with the Bristol Sport image, but would be quite iconic for the kids on the street. I'd stay there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What benefit can that possibly have for the club? Imagine the scene . Mr Wally , we are looking to invest in a club and heard that you have massive loyal support, are loved by the whole world and would like to meet up with you to discuss the project . When can we come to see the club and all it’s facilities ? Oh that won’t be necessary come to our London office , it will be much easier for you . During a video presentation of the ‘ Mem ‘ the potential buyer of the Gas notices the proximity to Brunel’s famous bridge and is surprised that , although the blue and white quarters are revered throughout the world , the film shows them playing in Red and White. Well that all seems really fantastic, Mr Wally , we are very interested when can we visit in person ? Whenever you want after the sale has gone through . Job’s a good un !

There is more (semi) serious discussion of Rovers financial plight on OTIB than on Rovers’ forums because over the past 40 years fans with intellect have gradually drifted away from our club. Back in the 1970’s City and Rovers would have been fairly equal in terms of numbers of supporters with educational achievement and/or status in business and the Professions but now we are seriously deficient in this respect. The London office may serve a purpose unconnected with football but related to Middle Eastern politics. Just as the Mem serves a purpose unconnected with football.

I seem to remember Hyatt being mentioned before in relation to the new AG development but can't find the article so may be wrong. But it makes sense with SL looking for a high end hotel plus a budget one (if there is such a thing in Bristol). It would be another stick to beat SL with 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly there's unlikely to be buyer for a sports stadium so with change of use and consequential CIL and S106 liabilities any gross value might likely be significantly reduced.
