Possible Ground share?

[BRFC_PrideOfTheWestCountry]

Just come across this in the paper today.

Nick Higgs:
"I have had several conversations with the rugby club chairman Chris Booy, who continues to express an interest in coming with us.

"If they did go somewhere else, it would mean some loss of income for us in terms of events, bar takings and catering.

"But we are looking at alternatives if that were to be the case and talking to other people who could take their place – although I can't go into details as they are confidential.

If the rugby couldn't join us in our new stadium who else would be interested in sharing with us???

The Cricket

 

[Red Robin]

Cricket club 100%

We could always have Bath rugby share with us there not getting anywhere with the rec plus they get bigger gates then Bristol which would be extra revenue for us.

 

[BRFC_PrideOfTheWestCountry]

A bit cramped for space wouldn't it??

 

[Gasheadseamge79]

No they will be playing in the car park so should be ok.

No they will be playing in the car park so should be ok.

at least they wouldn't ruin the pitch
Bath would be a good bet.

Hands stadium maybe? Upgrade from memorial..and great terracing!

 

[Mangadoogas]

Bath RFC sounds like a good bet.

 

[atcham jack]

newport county, hambrook, clifton st vincents, waterley bottom, mangotsfield. bath rfc sounds favourite

 

[National N1]

Can not see bath rugby playing at uwe! I reckon something with the cricket club if the site is big enougth

 

[pirate49]

Sharing with GCCC would be great, but the playing area is probably not
large enough for cricket.
Bath Rugby would be favourites..they would generate fantastic matchday
income. Clifton Rugby also a possibility. If they own their ground at Cribbs
that would be a profitable asset to realize.

 

[Gasheadseamge79]

I was only kidding about the cricket sharing with us. they would generate less money then Bristol rugby.

 

[Chris-Gashead]

City 1982ers, when they go into admin and lose their stadium

 

[wizered]

3500 people in a 19,000 seater stadium may look odd chistopher.. don't you think?

 

[banksyisourhero]

Perhaps its Stockwood green?

And more to the point, who gives a ****?

Don't be hard so on yourselfs I'm sure you will get more then 3,500 in a 19,000 stadium in division 1 next season.
