Hasen't it been more or less confirmed that arena island is now going to be developed by Legal & General who, it now seems conveniently, announced their own plans for the site in the last few weeks.

This is good news, hopefully we can build a stadium on the old arena site in 2048.

At the end of the day, Marv went for a few beers and a nice holiday with YTL reps.... But that has nothing to do with him supporting them I assure you.
Bristol has always and will always be behind the curve when it comes to city planning... The Arena, should be built on the island, no question. but money talks...

I can see his reasoning for not building the arena at TM. Makes sound financial sense as long as he then doesn't use the money to build it out in filton where Bristol CC won't see the majority of the benefits of it. I do wonder with Wael being so tight lipped if maybe they are keeping an eye on things. Would love a new mem to be on arena island. I could walk to Rovers instead of getting the bus! You’ll probably find we’re more likely to end up at Filton as well!

and how do you want to fund the £100m plus price tag ? Fancy your rates to go up by 50% to pay for it ?

But when you live in the north of Bristol it doesnt matter does it.....

I live in North Bristol but I definitely wanted the Arena at Temple Meads. But Marvelous Marvin was always going to find a reason not to put one there.

On the other forum someone apparently spoke to the new CEO who said the Colony delay is to do with budget. If that’s the case how could we even begin to fund a new stadium? I thought the delay was due to legal issues?

Budget issue does not mean no money.
If I have £25000 for a car but I want a £32000 BMW I’m going to spend as much time browsing dealerships trying to find the closest car I can get to the BMW before splashing the cash.

Okay, so he should have said we don't have enough money, can't buy BMW M4 when you only have enough money for a fiat 500.
