When are people going to realise that whether you are rose tinted, happy clapping or the most miserable b----d around we are never going to see anything other than a few touches of paint and new toilet facilities at the Mem. Just look at the number of people that were employed to design a NEW STADIUM only to, in one day make the decision to scrap it and give up. We had the person who designed Wembley stadium employed for quite a while and I have just now given up on our owners producing anything. Why should they do anything at the Mem when they told us in no uncertain terms that a development of the Mem was a no goer and yet when news of their failure to secure UWE failed suddenly it became our Plan B. look out its nearly Christmas so Plan C Santas Grotto will soon be realised!! As far as i am concerned the Mem is still a no goer, if it did get done, which I sincerly think it wont, the infra structure around the ground will make it a nightmare to operate. At the blue diamond Christmas I asked Mr Hamer if the club were still looking for land to build a stadium, he being the politition he is gave an answer that, as usual, said nothing. When I told him of the land becoming available in Severnside, over a 1000 acres of land for development, it was blatently ovious that he knew nothing about it, so what does that tell you? If I can find that and the details of the agreement between Bristol and south Glos council, that is a matter of record, in 5 minutes of surfing, it just shows to me that they are not even looking. Before any posters complain that they dont want a stadium there, well if it was a choice between that or a revamped Mem I know which I would prefer. Its not really a matter of where the land is, what matters it he didnt know about it. If one sticks to dreams and ultimate ambitions you have to say the club needs a ground fit for premier league and European football. If you actually look at the clubs history you see that its realistic aims are for periods of time in the championship. The latter would mean a 18,500 stadium would be adequate. Any aspirations beyond that would require the ability to expand above 30,000. Sure a team can survive a good few seasons in the prem with less than 20,000 averages but usually drop down a league. The thing is Rovers could just get on with a 18,500 stadium and then worry about expansion if its ever an issue !

Is it impossible for the mem to emulate ashton gate or off the top of my head burnleys turf moor? I actually believe a 15k capacity would be more than enough as long as we can make money through commercial activity at the site.

18,000 would be enough but would the infrastructure take it? The roads around the Mem cannot be made any bigger, a 10,000 gate causes total gridlock on Filton Ave as it is. Add to that there wont be a car park under the redevelopement plans, so now we are off and running to total choas.

I always get the train in and then the beer scooter home, donโt see the problem really? Well I do, that would be some proper work actually starting on the Mem!

Plus an underground line to Kingswood, the Mall, Bristol Airport, and Temple Meads. All just to get people to our games. And a helicopter pad in the Cumberland basin. One day no one will talk of Bristol City. Mind the facilities gap.

Again though, I suspect
"A new international-size ice rink will be built on adjacent land along with a hotel, gym, offices and restaurants."
is they key to funding it and attracting investment. Same as 600 odd apartment's and commercial space with Wimbledon

Plymouth had similar plans approved years ago. Like us, nothing has happened since though!
