Honestly not worried about which party runs the council when it comes to stadium plans.
If we were planning an F1 circuit that might be different.

Funny enough that was exactly my thought when I saw that on the news just now. Just our luck wel finally get the go ahead to push on with planning when the greens take over after Marvin. Won't be easy to get planning of big builds past them.

The green party aren't opposed to new building, just prefer it to be sustainable and carbon neutral. You'd have to be a climate change denier to see a problem with that, surely?

Perhaps if the dream is ever realised of becoming the last professional FC to get new facilities we can make one out of wood, in the same way Stale Mince at FGR is wanting.

The new FGR stadium will be next to the motorway. Seems to ignore carbon footprint of travel. Current ground carbon neutral but fails to mention cars pumping out fumes stuck in his car park. Whether you agree with the potential fruit market or not you'd hope the greens would back a stadium that is public transport friendly

By the time any formal plans are submitted there will have been a couple of local elections anyway. Add to that the practical aspects of No Overall Control of local government, I wouldn't get too worried.

No such thing I’m afraid. Look at the emodied carbon of your average roll or sheet of insulation, it’s horrific. It never pays back. Construction will never be carbon neutral.

That’s not strictly true. They also want to decide the usage of the building. When Sainsburys applied for pp on the Mem site the Green MP for the area and the Green Councillor both told me that they were anti capitalist and that was the driver behind not wanting Sainsburys. A number of their supporters shared the same story. The plan was to stop the development by any means necessary as they didn’t approve of supermarket chains. Horrible people who are totally opposed to democracy.

Whatever your political persuasion there's no denying there's never been an easier time to get planning permission than now with Marv in charge who fully supports our stadium pursuits. It will be a darn sight more difficult under a green leadership of that there's no doubt.

I suppose using things like good insulation, solar panels and low energy lighting will be in the interests of Wael Al Qadi as he tries to make the club more sustainable. If they can emphasize this and good public transport links it could give us more sway with a green council

I was stood next to a Green Party Councillor (in the Thatchers) at the Exeter game!

Horrible people who are totally opposed to democracy. Didn’t stop anything though did it? As planning permission was granted regardless of the evil little green men and women… They weren’t keen on airport expansion either and that’s been rubber stamped this week. Surely by now people know it doesn’t matter who sits in the big seat at the council, they aren’t in charge of planning decisions. Planning decisions we’ve never been on the wrong end of. If we make an application for a stadium in any local authority and it complies with all policy it will gain permission regardless of who’s in charge. Being able to pay for it however…

Does this mean any new ground will now have to be made of wood. The last time we had a wooden stand it burnt down sending loads of polluting smoke into the atmosphere. Dale is building a so called green wooden stadium for his club, destroying countryside and chopping down thousands of trees to build it, like many of these greens he is just a hypocrite.

Worth pointing out that Green have been the majority in Brighton for a long long time and the Amex isn’t a wooden stadium

Let’s give up now and move to South Glos!

No such thing I’m afraid. Look at the emodied carbon of your average roll or sheet of insulation, it’s horrific. It never pays back. Construction will never be carbon neutral. That’s not the point. The point is to morally grandstand and audit others and thus you have a bona Fide legitimate reason to harass and bully people. Stay the f out of that discussion here. I worried about it until I realised people who sit around online trying to be unpleasant to people are clearly not happy and well adjusted people, so although you might get teamed on it, in the end you’re the winner when you put the phone down :-)

As the city of Bristol is on the 100 uk places to implement the "15 minute city" . Very few will be driving to the stadium anyway. Having a stadium next to major bus and train routes will be essential. The greens "may" actually be more in favour of a fruit market stadium than us staying at the Mem or another Bristol site.
