We have put the hearing back till October 2013 to take this to the high court, so that it gets a longer hearing. The Nimbys wanted a shorter hearing. This could be a tactical move to make the Nimbys see that this could cost a lot of money and therefore redraw their appication I hope. http://www.bristol247.com/2012/11/28/ashton-vale-town-green-inquiry-delayed-for-a-year-25016/
Well at least when its built I will be able to get a cheaper oap ticket!.......hearing Oct 2013.....re-hearing after another spanner in the works in 2014.....final hearing in 2015......building starts 2016.....so ready for the 2018/19 season it is then!
In which time, SL would have had enough of it all.. It doesn't seem that long ago we were all getting excited with the progress of our beloved club. Ah well, it was good while it lasted......back to square one then!
I don't even get excited about a new stadium now its dragged on so long. Would'nt be at all surprised to see it all called off and AG revamped.
**** sake we should of been moving into this season, Now we have to wait until next year. This is taking the piss would much rather see AG get a makeover 1 stand at a time, make it 30,000 and be done with it.
There is no money to be wasted. The money for the build will come from the sale of Ashton Gate and it appears the projects investment partners.
If they are selling debentures for bodies in coffins, then I'll have one please. At this rate I'll not live to see a new stadium!
