Open End Numb Legs Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 If they did move to Totterdown they could copy what City had years ago - a picture of a suitable local landmark on their club crest. We got the world renowned Clifton Suspension Bridge. They get Totterdown Bridge - not quite so famous. Seems appropriate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's that Craft Beer place just off the Cattle Market Rd if they are happy paying around £7 a pint or it's drinking near TM before walking to the ground, Knights Templar of whatever that pub across the road is called these days.

I’d imagine the Knights Templar would be where they’d likely drink, but could see the OB designating that as an away pub, straight out the station and easy to police that area. Not that I can see this happening anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke_bristol Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 How can they just sell the Mem to fund a new stadium when the Mem is a war memorial? Family clubs don’t do that sort of thing…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisbane Road has a capacity of 9.2k. Much better suited to Rovers given their current gates. Model it on Brisbane road and they might be able to squeeze a tidy little 9-10k seater in amongst the flats and commercial use stuff. For a bit of fun, I just had a look at the site on Google Maps and copied and pasted aerial shots of the Mem (also from Google Maps, same scale) onto it. As you can see, the site is actually quite large (assuming my yellow lines correctly demaracate the boundaries), with space to spare even if you put two Mem stadiums onto it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a large area, however by the time you build a car park you will lose a fair bit. Then you take away space for what the developers need to build to actually make money and there isn't a lot left. If money is tight they could build with canvas, sure I have seen that done before somewhere? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many Brisbane Roads can you fit on the site? I presume that any new stadium would be intended to have full all seater stands, fully roofed and with integrated concourses. I also presume that takes a bigger footprint than tents and temporary bleacher seating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the 1 year option Conygar have taken is to see if they can persuade some of those satellite businesses to sell up as well. e.g. those on Albert Rd at the bottom of that picture?

Barrs Court Red Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 I think the Fruit Market site is not totality of the development- which amongst other things has had things like a cinema proposed (strange, as showcase is only up the road) Getting planning permission to build houses on the Mem will be an absolute doddle, so I can certainly see this happening, though ownership, and whose taking what from any stadium revenue streams will probably be very interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the same with our ground over the fruit market land. Include the car parks. Be interesting to see as they are looking at a stadium with the same footprint.

AG fits nicely, with plenty of space for parking (if that's what they wanted to use the space for). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
