Gas temp home

[BS3_RED]

With the decision about the Mem being made on Wednesday, its a good possibility that the sags could be in touch in the next few weeks to S.L. to inquire about the use of Ashton Gate.

I for one hope that he tells them where to go but how does everyone else feel about some sag being sat on their seat for 18 months and also should we really help out a club that tried to nick the Gate in 82 for next to nothing?

Thoughts??

Go to hell.

(Some people call it Swindon)

What me or the gas??

What me or the gas??

Of course the gas

I think we should fully support our cousins (although not in the Biblical sense) in their move to a temporary home

IN CARLISLE

When the Mem is rebuilt and there are, as I understand it numerous objections even at the planning stage I think it should be a home to both Bristol Rugby and Bristol Rugby Reserves and that Rovers should leave their temporary home in Carlisle and relocate back to

FALKIRK

[Nibor]

Don't want them here, any short term revenue we make from it would be offset by the long term disadvantage of Rovers' continued existence.

Anyway it won't matter because even if the councillors somehow manage to demonstrate their pro-Rovers rugby loving bias by approving the scheme on Wednesday, they will still have court challenges from opposition groups to deal with and then they'll have to look down the back of the couch for £30m...

They don't have a chance in hell of financing it.

Hey I live up near Falkirk don't dump rubbish. Anyway don't wan't that stench up here. move them over Norwich way.

[red-or-dead]

Absolutely no way do i want any sag in my seat.

[RedTop]

Logic says it's a nice little earner and that it would be a nice neighbourly gesture given that both clubs have made great inroads to end the animosity of previous years.

Bugger logic. Make them rent in Bath, Cheltenham or the Shetlands for all I care. I don't want the enemy calling Ashton Gate their home, even for a season. It's not right. I can't explain it, it just isn't.

[dezgimed]

You just know every little chav gashead will be phlegming all over the place..

Ah crap, ours do that do.

[NiceRed]

The only advantage of their move to AG (leaving aside the money) would be that gasheads would be even unhappier than us. Couldn't see them getting more than 4000 in as most would refuse to come to AG.

[Shadow]

I absolutely, positively and definitely do NOT want the sags infecting Ashton Gate. I'm assuming we'll have the egg chasers there although I'm a bit dubious as to what damage their game will do to the pitch.

Not to mention the pong

You still haven't mentioned the pong or the fumigation costs.....and those clothes

They don't have a chance in hell of financing it.

I don't know, Millets are competitive........oh, you mean the Ground, not the clothes

Ah, good old fashioned, unreasoned bile, predjudice & hatred.

That's what Football's all about.

Well done, Well done

Then there's the pong.

You mean they get more than that now.......and what about the pong

[WTFiGO!?!]

It's heart warming to see such unanomous opposition to the idea.

[Bristol Boy]

Bit disappointed that none of you lot have said anything about the pong

I for one do not want those:

"flarewearingfourteenbuttonwaisttrouserbuyingplatformshoesandtracksuitwearingdonkeyjacketlovingsweatysmellingcortinadrivinggoodnightirenesingingarserentingcouncilhousedwellingwe'lllosetoderbylumberjacklookalikes.

anywhere near the ground, never mind my seat.

If they come over to the JPT, which they won't after Shrewsbury do 'em, even the sight of them on the EE will only be softened by the fact that we're throwing away and burning those seats anyway.Cardiff & Swansea have already tarnished them with their:

"sheeprearingtollchargingshouldhavebuiltawallnotabridgemenofharlechchantingflarelightingshouldbemadetoclosetheirgroundcoachesonlyhereboyotravelrestrictionsisn'titboyo"

malarky.

Have I mentioned the pong because you lot simply can't be relied upon to do it.

[snowy_RDFC]

I can't believe 26% have voted to go all the way up to Cheltenham every week - to play in a dump ground. Far far better to go to Bath surely!?! Larger capacity, closer, played there for ages to.

Mind you 34% voted for Villa

Further away, even less pong, it's getting better & better

[BS10 RED]

There only have to open one stand if they did play at ashton gate and then there have trouble filling that.

You won the "best poster" malarkey? Tut tut.

IF we get planning permission, no-one can appeal as they are third parties. If we don't, we can appeal as it's our application.

As for the cost of the regeneration, it's self financing over a few years, but that would have involved you using research to establish.

Glad to help.

Er, no. They might not be able to appeal to the planning authority but anyone can challenge a planning decision in court and when they do the first thing that happens is there's an injunction to stop any work being done until the issue is decided.

Surely you're realistic enough to realise that Dunceford isn't about to find £30m in his back pocket anyway?

[Barrs Court Red]

Bristol will play here, which leaves no room for those dirty squatting pikeys from the poorest areas of Bristol and South Glos.

There are many options open dear boy.

Exactly
