I couldn't care less if they built a monumental 25 foot phallus in the middle of it as long as they buy the site. Or at very least pay out some compensation. Ps I doubt George Ferguson knows where his arse is let alone has a clue what the future holds.

He may well be right, but as long at Sainsburys buy the land from us I couldn't give a sh it.

I fu cking hate the argument that the stadium is a war memorial and should be preserved. The place is a dump and demonstrates how far behind Bristol is in terms of sporting and recreational facilities. The ground was built to honour sporting Bristolians who lost their lives for us, but surely they would rather see Bristol have a stadium to be proud of, not a crumbling old dump that is no longer fit for purpose.

So basically, George knows as much as anybody else who read the newspapers a couple of days ago.

In itself that's fine, and it doesn't affect us. It's not about whether they build the store - it's all about how good the contract was and if we can extract the cash from them. Having said that, it seems pretty surprising that the Mayor of Bristol would comment on Twitter about commercially sensitive negotiations about a multi-million pound development in the city. Either he knows no more about it than the rest of us, in which case, in his role, he's a bit of a twerp. Or he knows more about it than the rest of us, in which case, in his role, he's a bit of a twerp. |

Have any of you actually read what he said and let it slowly sink in to the grey matter?
"They are writing down the site costs'
If true we are on our way, so wind yer necks in.

He's also a close friend to Ed Ware.

The contract with us is to buy the land and if "they are writing down site costs" it means they are going to be parting with the money to buy the site. |

As far as I am concerned they can buy the site and build a velodrome and waste incinerator on the site or if they want to make a big thing of the Memorial gates etc turn it into a cemetary, after all there is always a shortage of ground for things like that.
There has to be a couple of things there that would satisfy Trash etc,

That is NOT what he said - you added "the" when he actually said
The first would mean the comment applies to our site, the second is a generic statement about their general intention and Ferguson is basing this on the article he read rather than any insider knowledge.
How this man became mayor is beyond most, I guess the fact he "forgot" he is a Liberal when he stood as an independent helped him. Sadly half of Bristolians live under surrounding authorities and don't even get a say in what this fool does - just because people live outside the arbitrary inner city boundary does not mean that Bristol is not our city as well.

The contract with us is to buy the land and if "they are writing down site costs" it means they are going to be parting with the money to buy the site. Thats the way I read it. They intend to write down land already purchased (although with the relative shortage of affordable housing that surprises me) and to write their contractual obligations. There are also reports of some supermarkets actually closing. Either way I would be shocked if Sainsburys actually built anything on the Mem site. Which leads us to the veracity of the contract. Which then brings us to the strength of the legal teams on each side and the depth of pocket on each side. Who knows. In the meantime the basic premise that the new UWE stadium is integral to the survival and growth of the club will be tested in the extreme, the likelyhood of a new stadium being built anytime soon is unlikely. So what happens then? |

According to letters in the Bristol Post regarding their "Greater Bristol" campaign, no-one living outside of the City boundary wants anything at all to do with Bristol!
