EmersonsKev Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I think a Steve Lansdown stand will be fitting once the stadium is built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Steve Lansdown has done a great deal for this football club and I'm sure will continue to do so in the future even if less directly (as he says he will continue his financial support). We've gone up a division, become established in the second tier, we have an exciting stadium project that has really one final hurdle to clear, and that has been done at great personal financial cost and perhaps more importantly time and effort invested. Thanks Steve for everything you've done. I think this was inevitable at some point and I'm not shocked by it. Steve reduced his involvement in HL as well a few years ago and has done this in stages leading towards a more relaxed and enjoyable retirement. I'm pleased to see the transition is being handled smoothly. In the past this kind of thing has been a complete mess and it's a good example of how the club has improved under Steve's stewardship. I like the look of the new board, Ernie is somebody who will keep the directors well grounded and close to the fans and Jon is a passionate fan who is also the landowner for the new stadium site. Colin has proved himself very capable and Guy seems very well thought of. I don't have any knowledge of the new finance director but I think Steve's judgement in that area can be well trusted. We look like we have a good balance leading the club now, a few different opinions but not so disparate as to cause any strife and no fragmentation of ownership which can lead to boardroom battles. Things are looking very bright for our future, so once again thanks Steve Lansdown and best wishes. Good luck to all of our new board members, you have a hard act to follow but you will have the support of all the fans in doing so and I'm sure you'll succeed. COYR.

Fiale Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I would also like to say a big thank you for everything Steve has done at our club. I would also like to say that the promotion of Colin and introduction of new (and younger) blood onto the board is also a positive step forward, and of course like to welcome Lansdown junior to his board appointment.

CotswoldRed Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Steve - if you ever find the time to read this can I thank you for turning BCFC around - into a club that makes me feel so proud. BCFC fans can hold their heads high right across the country. The achievements of the board, staff and players since your tenure began have been nothing short of fantastic. Most of us already know how lucky we have been, and will be, to have you involved in our club. To think that on top of everything else we may soon be moving into a new Stadium is incredible. I, for one, think you have every right to stake your claim at the new ground. At the very least you deserve to name the main stand after your good self. Enjoy Guernsey. In Colin we are in good hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The_Boy Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Thankyou Steve! The stability and success you have brought to the club can now be used as a springboard to establish City as a future prem side (and perhaps repay some of your investment).

The Red Planet Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I reckon this is going to be a very long thread, and so it should be. Steve - you have been absolutely massive for us. Your love of football and this club in particular is obvious for all to see. Your vision for our club has been to take us to a higher place and we could not not have done it without your very significant (and ongoing) financial support. I can't claim to know you, but I think you are a modest man and you would probably hate the idea of one of the stands at the new stadium being named after you, but why not ? In fact, given the huge effort you have put into the project there is a strong case for naming the whole stadium after you. Thanks a million - well actually several tens of millions I believe ! Enjoy your retirement. You will always be a legend at BCFC and I hope you can make it to most home games next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I agree with all the above - Thank you Steve. We are fortunate enough not have had the comparative shambles of foreign or corrupt ownership like other clubs have had to endure. Whether decisions have paid off or not in the past, we could at least rest assured that they were ade for the right reasons and with the best inerests of BCFC in mind. Everything Steve has dealt with, from success to dealing with the Wornock/Jordan saga, stadium obsticles, management changes etc etc have always oozed class & dignity in the way they were handled. A role model to us all and I for one will always hold him in the higest regard. Thanks again Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grove park city Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 All good things come to an end and its fair to say that Steve Lansdown has been the backbone and public face of BCFC in good and indifferent times,,, Without doubt the greatest chairman alongside Harry Dolman in the clubs history , always ready to promote the club to the bigger footballing and public world his drive to get things done has kept dreams alive when a lesser chairman would have folded.......... Thank you for pushing the club we all love to the brink of the Prem plus the new stadium plan which on hearing the interview seems to be a burning passion for him,, above all Steve Lansdown as said before is that rare thing a chairman with the fan's affection and respect enjoy your background role, retirement and family ..... thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Planet Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 This has been mentioned on another thread, but it it is typical of SL to make sure that after he steps down as Chairman, the club has great continuity on the board. In particular, the appointment of Colin S as our new Chairman is logical, wise and inspired. If you were in the council chamber last week, the speech by CS was one of the best that evening and for him to start with "I am Bedminster born" (or words to that effect) was devastating to the opposition as it was then followed by an excellent presentation about all the benefits to the local community arising from JS redeveloping AG and the new stadium. AND as I said on yet another thread, I am certain that CS was the main driver in selecting our well structured, articulate and passionate speakers that night. Plus, he is a real fighter - a proper "bruiser" as they say. No messing with this man. We are in safe hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Steve, i have turned 45 today and i can quite honestly say there is only one other period i have enjoyed more being a Bristol City fan other than te nine years you have given us, you can guess when !! I thank you for the investment you have put into the club, just knowing that maybe we can go after that ex Premier League player with te big transfer fee and the big wage, just makes supporting this club just that little bit better, more exciting. Thank you also for the prospect of the new stadium (god i hope it is built), you would think i am very sad at the the number of times i have looked at the stadium plans and dreamed of where i will be sitting in 3 years time, maybe 2 hopefully. I am sad to see you go because you and the club are a very big part of my life, but i do hope you and your good wife enjoy your time away. I am sorry if this does not make much sense, i have been celebrating my 45th a bit to much maybe. Good luck to Colin also, a good man to take on the helm.
