Guest BrotherErnieFromBarrowGurney Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Just posted this on Ask Steve Lansdown..Steve - I have to say that I am very worried to hear that you have legally separated the football ground (Ashton Gate Limited) from the rest of the football club and to hear that now the football club has to pay rent to Ashton Gate Limited. This in the past has always spelt disaster for any club who has done this, ask Luton, Wrexham, York City and Brighton for just a few recent examples. I know you have said that the only reason is so that we can have transparency on how those sides of the business are going, but you know yourself that this move makes Ashton Gate much easier to sell in the future. You yourself may not have this in mind, but you have certainly made it easier for anyone following in your footsteps. I imagine you will point to an agreement that Bristol City can play there for the next 106 years, but for me, this announcement is further depressing news that the club I love is heading off in the wrong direction. What about when you are gone one day and the club is eyed by greedy property developers? You have just made their job easier.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest REDCIDERARMY Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Yes I agree with you entirely mate,more bad news look what happened at Wrexham I do not trust this board I feel they are starting to look at ways to make a profit from the club or deserting a sinking ship is another phrase that comes to mind,depressing days anyway when are you out for a pint to cheer ourselves up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukejones2 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Don't be too paranoid guys. My opinion is that Steve is only doing what is best for the club, I just think we need to consider all periferol issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
