A regular brisk walk is great for weight control and mental well being. Use Public transport and save the planet by reducing your carbon foot print. I take the bus everyday, you get to meet a lot of interesting people. #i see weirdoes Agreed on the regular brisk walk but if you spend an extra hour per day commuting by public transport and spend an extra, say, £3 per day over and above the cost of fuel, then that's over £700 per year and 10 full 24-hour days spent in commuting. Of course I'm using this in regards to working a 5 day week as an example only to highlight why many people would choose to use their car instead of public transport. I'm all for being environmentally conscious but to a point and then I have to think of whether it outweighs my need for spending quality time at home and having more money in the bank. For those with families especially and family season ticket, these are the sort of issues the club need to take into consideration to come up with solutions that work for everybody. Yeah but if you sit on the back seat the engine vibration feels really nice. |

Thank you for your rudeness and insulting words. It was a simple question that did not deserve that kind of response. However, in the interests of sensible debate, I admit to no knowledge of the planning process. That's why I asked the question. I hope this project works, but it can't be denied that there are obvious questions to be answered about it. Aside from questions of financing a large city centre site, realistically, are people going to get on their bike to go to a football ground? Buses are ok in theory, but Bristol has a bit of an issue with clogged up roads, so the system isn't the best. Rail traffic is horrendously expensive and wouldn't be an option unless you live in a different town or city anyway. It's all very well to say don't use the car, but until there are realistic alternatives that offer the same convenience, it's just not going to happen. That's not about football grounds specifically, that's a society thing. Anyone will think there is a car exclusion zone around this patch of land. There will probably be more parking around this site than the Mem and Ashton Gate put together. All it means that public transport is a much better option than it is now, so it’s a positive. I currently drive to the Mem, if we move to st Phillips, a train ride return from temple meads is going to cost £7.40. Or £14.80 for 2 adults, £20 + for a family of 4, against what now for you a fiver in fuel? Public transport is OK for one person who's got the time to spend an hour plus each way to and from the ground, a pain for anybody else. Personally I don't see the attraction of this site over the Mem or an out of town site like the UWE. |

Same Here, i currently drive to the mem with my disabled brother and park in the stadium car park, but if the Henbury Loop line gets up and running which will stop at Temple meads then that will be my method of getting there if brother is unable to continue to go, until then we will have to reply on disabled parking at the new site..... i don't hold my breath that the Henbury Loop line will be open in time for the new stadium opening.... |

I take the bus everyday, you get to meet a lot of interesting people. #i see weirdoes When I'm on the bus or train, as people walk down the aisle looking for somewhere to sit, I let a little bit of dribble creep out of the corner of my mouth, and I then smile and make eye contact. It's amazing how many people would rather stand than sit next to me. I always get loads of room. |

Even the Evil journalist who has written an article on this seems less than convinced.
I suspect that WAQ is desperately trying to make himself look and feel important. Strange timing to be making this sort or announcement I would have thought. WAQ is very much the junior partner in all of this, I don't think he holds much, if any influence within the family. He holds a largely ceremonial post, President ffs, and probably has no idea what's going on.
Champagne and party poppers well and truly on ice here, I'm afraid.

Love the optimism - the stadium opening before the Henbury Loop line ! I will be very surprised if either get built and gobsmacked if both get built ! Still we could all use the new subway system our mayor wants us to believe in...... |

After the entire UWE episode & the uncalled for and frankly disgraceful abuse WAQ received over it, I’m astounded that people think he would come out with a statement such as this just for popularity points. That much is just ridiculous.
If anything I’d wager the entire plan is a lot further along, than he is initially letting on.
