I suggest they raise the funds to secure the use of the ground for sport. They clearly feel they speak for the community, and they want BRFC through Wael to voluntarily give up an asset which they own, for BRFC to ensure, at their own cost that the Mem is used for sports without cost to the community (it seems). Hmmm, seems fair! |

that survey clearly isn't the work of an independent body without an agenda is it....

They have a good attitude but the truth is that the Mem is worth a lot of money so the honourable sentiments have to be tempered with a few realities, not least that the rugby club and Lansdown don't seem to share those thoughts.

Nice to see the greens are fresh from a drubbing at the elections and fancy a last hooray by poking the green nose where it really is not wanted again !

I thought the covenant was recreation bidders get first refusal but still have to pay the going rate. If they don't bid then it's a free for all - I could be talking complete bollards though.
Isn't the ground in Horfield not Bishopston?
Different subject but when the Little Stoke Parkrun issue came under the media spotlight, Bristol & Bradley Stoke councils said in short "Not our area, go away, don't get us involved." I'm assuming that was due to potential bad PR. Are Bishopston just getting involved as they can't lose. If land is sold for housing they did there best and won't be seen as losers but people who just raised the question. In short - Go away Bishopston. Not interested in NIMNDNBY. Not in my next door neighbours back yard

I think we should move the memorial gates to the new stadium for what it was intended for a memorial for sportsmen who lost their lives. Not for tin pot local politicians to make stock of for their own advancement.

Not in my next door neighbours back yard The covenant is nonsense. That has already been refuted legally, otherwise how could Sainsbury's have got PP. The Asset of Community Value thing gives locals first refusal on buying it, effectively, that's all. They seem to be trying to imply it's more important than that. I don't think the Voice is necessarily anything to do with local councils, it's just a local organ centred on Bishopston. They deliver it to my door and I'm not in Bishopston ward. I would normally throw unwanted spam like that in the recycling, but I put the Voice straight in the normal bin, coz I feel that would annoy them more. |

Maybe they thought as Shamesburys disappeared they could reset it - Numptys |

"Friends of the Memorial Ground". How may of our "friends" have ever actually bothered to go to a game there? If you have absolutely no link whatsoever to the place how can you be a friend of it? They're so friendly with the place they don't even know that it has been called the Memorial Stadium for years.

Maybe Bristol RFC should buy it and move back in. After all, they're in the Premiership now, and I'm sure they don't really want to be sharing a stadium with a bunch of tiddlers like City.
They can sell their share of Ashton Gate to Lansdown for £20m, buy the Mem off us and return to their spiritual home. Sorted.

I have done the survey and been quite honest about it as well.. The gates absolutely should be kept as a war memorial and I have also suggested that a small park be built around them to act as a place of remembrance. But to suggest that the whole site should not be touched in this day and age with land being at such a premium is pure nonsense.
Wonder if they will see through my submitted name of: Trey Hooger...??

BRRC wernt happy at selling the ground to us when they went bust, but went to 'that place' without a backwards glance when 'he' came knocking. Obviously they thought we were selling to 'that supermarket' but now they're not, so ask 'that man' to buy back their ground. I'm sure he would, for the good of the rugby club and 'them lot down the road' because their 'style of football' is better suited to not playing in a turnip field. |
