Different sport yes but at the same time could not believe the electricity wastage. Hot sunny day, afternoon kick off- lights on in all in stands- don't mean the concourses but the srand itself- the bright hot sunny day, and the fact it was the afternoon, I would say easy enough to see and navigate with minimal stand lights on. Even the Atyeo which is shut for most rugby games as it was that day, had them on throughout!! Different sport but same venue!

The Humble Realist Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 We win this but get the plane to hull and drive an empty coach there to ship the team from the airport to the ground and back again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which suggests to me other clubs do this as well but don’t do the environmental stuff. The point made earlier about light wastage is a very valid one though.

shahanshahan Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I was there at the FSA Awards representing the Bristol City Supporters Club & Trust (for the Supporter Engagement Award with City Women, which we didn't win). Was sat with Gavin Marshall, Grace Williams, Peter Smith the club/Bristol Sport/Ashton Gate, who all went to pick up the award.

It's where you kick a round ball into the goal from a spot 12 yards from the goal. if the goalie saves it you don't get anything. Oh! hang on, we don't get anything as we never get a penalty for us, against us yes. Perhaps one day we may find out what it looks like, but, I'm not holding my breath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
