From facebook
Some news on made in Bristol tv about the mem...some people has set up a group. To save the men from property contractors...they want the mem to be part of the community. With the theme........ sporting needs of the area. The want the ground to be a training area or a sports pitch. And will fight to any building work which might go ahead on in the Future.
Anyone see this or is it a load of old manure?

Check out @lwf1914 on twitter. There is clearly something going on re: sale of the mem and the inevitable opposition is positioning itself. Wouldn't be surprised if deal had already been done.

Offer to sell them the site for £20million ,then they can do what they like with it. Im sure some sort of crowd funding thing can be set up.Whilst they are raising the money they can also ponder where new housing can be built to help solve the housing shortage.That is of course if they actually care about the housing crisis ? Of course new homes will provide lots of new customers for the local traders that would have possibly lost out had sainsburys built a store there. So denying the new homes will be punishing the local traders whom the previous campaigners seemed to value so highly. It is a shame that such protesters were not around when eastville was being sold off chunk by chunk , if they had been then rovers would have had a huge site they could have built a 50,000 ! Stadium on plus homes and other things.......

They have changed their tactic to reflect our new owners wealth of the owner. First they opposed the mem redevelopment, next a supermarket and now anything that includes any kind of building. The pleas on their to wael to build a training ground are pathetic. The annoying thing is that they can potentially hold up any sale of the land through JR etc. Gasholes

Imagine opposing the building of houses in 2016 to keep a sh**e rugby ground 'in the community'. Out of touch with the real world and a real world problem.

How many people annually attend the Nov 11 ceremony at the mem gates ? ....how many times have the protesters attended ? How often have the protesters attended sporting events at the mem site ? To have a valid argument a person should be able to prove they have attended and financially supported the historic and important war memorial site . If a person has not done so then they are in fact not supporting the upkeep of the historic site and honouring the fallen of the wars. It might be appropriate for the protestors to contact Bristol rugby and it's owners and ask why they are not attempting to purchase back their historic war memorial site ? The obligation of the rugby club to honour its fallen heroes should be addressed and the owners encouraged to come forward with the mere £20million to own the site. I'm sure they must have a billionaire somewhere on their board ?

Imagine how awkward it would be for carat airs if the sport franchise bought it for the rugby club and then apply to develop it to the same plans we submitted for the mem. How would he go about opposing that!

If much of it is affordable housing then I can't see any chance of them causing any real problems. Bristol like any city has a big housing shortage and do the Greens really want to be associated with preventing essential housing being built?

Why have they not got pictures of the gates after the Teds painted them ? That might show how much respect some in Bristol have for the site. These people are bloddy pests, I can't think why anyone votes for them ? They cost everyone money at every chance, green my arse.

Perhaps that's the problem, these greens don't want any scrotes like me living near them. Interested in social mobility and bellowing at the government about a lack of housing, until it's on their doorstep.

I'm sorry, but build the ground in South Glos and let the Mem rot further!
This lot are nothing to do with community - they are self-serving NIMBY's.

I thought that it was just the gates and not the war memorial status of the SITE ?
Simple solution is not to have the gates there but to move it to where it was intended to sit at a sports venue i.e the UWE where better for the sportsmen who lost their lives to have the memorial ?

I was told by a sh*thead friend that Pantsdown may buy the mem back for the funny shape ball team because he is watered off with the mess they are making of their £1m Pitch Took it with a pinch of salt, but who knows

The shamesbury's development included affordable housing, they opposed that! Fecking bunch of wonkers

Poison. The lot of them. No doubt no one in that group is under 30. Absolute madness.
Bristol City Council cannot sell off the Bristol North Baths for private housing then take a moral approach regarding the Mem. Sounds as if they want something akin to the 'rec' in bath. A large spot in the centre of bath that has been a waste for years. No practical use, no community value, and no significant development of the stadium. Bath rugby is a day out, the fans eat and shop in the city before/after and capacity that reflected the demand would bring so much more to the city. Unfortunately, similar attitudes have prevented this!
Many of the houses immediately around are owned by buy to let landlords. Please build some afordable housing, for regular people!

Why have they not got pictures of the gates after the Teds painted them ? At least the sheeds who defaced the memorial gates were fundamentally honest in their approach. They may have been quasi-neandertal knuckle-dragging morons, incapable of firing more than three neurons at once, but there was an element of sincerity in their witless attempts at communicating their contempt for others. These lot are clearly intelligent and erudite, which makes their selective reasoning and meretricious campaigning all the more hypocritical and contemptible. That they shamelessly and even proudly piggyback their petty and selfish NIMBYism on the backs of dead heroes makes me physically sick to think about.
