Fiale Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 One of the problems is going to be that if the PROWG committee cannot decide whether to accept/dismiss the TVG recommendation then it will goto a full council vote. Any councillor who has publicly said they are in favour of the Stadium or TVG will likely not be able/allowed to vote. I suspect that we will find all the Stadium support vote wise vanish whereas the Green/in favour of TVG who have kept silent will win through the vote. I am starting to have serious worries, at the end of the day the petitions whilst nice mean very little - is there a legal ground to deny the TVG recommendation - I am starting to think there may not be.

WhistleHappy Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 http://www.brfcforum...ion-of-bristol/ tch, its such a shame these people cant see the wood for the trees, completely miss the bigger picture & either through ignorance or sheer malice would prefer to cut off their noses to spite their faces rather than back something that will benefit all of them and their families in the long run. On the other foot if they were in our position now, I'd forget the possible benefits to a 'rival' football club, I'd be looking at what the development as a whole would mean to the entire city of Bristol, BCFC although major players in the scheme are or will be by no means the only significant developers of this site - and for the 'greens' if this goes ahead the wildlife & birds will be hugely better off with careful management of their sanctuary... Come on Gas get yer heads out of yer backsides & think about it a bit more before automatically just seeing Red & turning green with envy... its aint all about BCFC ... its a great opportunity for Bristol to at last have a music venue befitting a city of our size, the arena is long overdue.. oppose the scheme & EVERYBODY LOSES .. inc the Birds, Bee's & the rest of Bristol -that means Gas heads as well as us.

Guest Ark at ee Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 The more I read about all this the more I feel that the Country needs a "Department of common sense". Where things that are patently stupid can be thrown out without any further ado, and importantly no more expense. It is also arguable that where people have started these applications purely for "vexatious" purposes that if their application is thrown out that they should face some financial penalty for all the time they have wasted. Perhaps we should have a simple Vulcan rule drawn directly from Star Trek - "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth is they don't care about that. They don't want anything good to happen in our city if it benefits us as well. My mantra is to have absolutely nothing to do with them in any respect. No fans games, what, "friendly" rivalry with a bunch who'll play ringers and kick you about? No thanks, nothing. They won't help (Did they sign up to the World Cup stuff?), forget them, they are utterly pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 In all fairness that forum is about as representative of their fans as Ashton Vale is a Village Green.

S'pose there might be a real WALTER MITTY around Bristol. Trouble is, anyone with a few spare email addresses can add names to either Poll, just use a phone book to look up the details.

As I have said they will not laugh when they realise that the Horfield Residents Association have been in contact with the Ashton Vale Assoc for advice on TVG. Bearing in mind you just need to prove, access - check, 20 years - check. Seeing as a piece of tarmac, a building, a path, a car park and just about anything you can imagine have had TVG approval in the past. Will be nice to see how much Rovers ground is worth on their balance sheet when it can never be expanded, built on, improved as they say, be careful for what you wish for.
