They probably seen us beat Man U, play against Man City etc and are now hopefully hooked. Apart from the hardcore who will make their kids go to the Mem where will their future supporters come from? Even if they get a new Stadium it will be a good few years and even more young 'uns will be with us - and their mates etc etc. Parents can still punish their children by making them go to the Mem. Much more painful than a good hiding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBFC II Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Don't normally get riled up by them, but this irritated me quite a bit... Yes Neil, Bristol don't play at their spiritual home anymore, that's correct. Now, let's think about why bristol rugby club were forced to move out of their home of 97 years. It was because your horrible lot pounced on them when they were at their weakness, went on to take the ground over from them before gradually making it harder and harder for them to play there before SL saved them and brought them over here. As much as myself amongst many bristol fans are enjoying playing at ashton gate in front of big crowds, our spiritual home has been and always will be the Memorial Ground. So realistically, we'd love it much more if you lot just buggered off out of there and gave us our home back, then maybe SL fan upgrade it and turn our historic home into a decent ground. But as that won't happen, you enjoy being in the knowledge that you'll stole your ground off of the rugby club who you are glad don't play there any more whilst you sit there seething about what they now have compared to you.

That was our biggest ever crowd, and although I'm not saying it couldn't happen again, it is unlikely unless we start becoming very successful. If we could buy back the mem and then upgrade it to a 20000 all seater with room for more that would be perfect for the club at the minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rant over... Yank-like? Utterly wrong. The only similarity is that Ashton Gate is now a multisport stadium and it is common for Basketball (NBA) and Ice-Hockey (NHL) franchises to share an arena, but the franchises from the same City are not usually owned by the same person/company and will not actually own the arena themselves, since most of them got the local authority to pay for it in order that they would relocate (or remain) in the City. There's only 1 professional football club who franchised themselves out to another City who were originally based in Bristol and there is only 1 professional football club in Bristol begging for someone else to build them a stadium.
