Favour please
Hello lovely people, I need a favour.
As most of you know, I am quite heavily involved in doing bits and bobs for Bristol City football club, and late last week we were hit with the news that our new stadium is now in doubt. I am going to copy and paste the blurb as to the reasons why because I cant put it into words without getting upset. Plans for a new World Cup stadium for Bristol are under threat from attempts to classify the site as a village green. This would mean that the stadium cannot be built. It would mean that Bristol would lose out on the opportunity to host World Cup football. Thousands of jobs would be lost for local people. Millions of £££s would be lost to the local area. The majority of people in Bristol and further afield - would lose out. Bristol City Council will make the final decision. They need to know that you and everyone else in the city and indeed further afield wants a new stadium not a village green. Please let them know that you're behind them! 22 nimbys are basically exploiting a loophole in the law which allows for them to request that any piece of land (in this case 42 acres) to be made a town green. In Bristol Citys case this land was once a landfill, and is by no means a "village green" however the future for our new stadium is not looking good. Therefore I am wondering if you would do me this one teeny favour and sign the petition I am linking to in this post. Also if anyone wants to spread the link to the petition via twitter/facebook etc to try and get more signatures, that would be brilliant. It doesnt matter that you aren't from Bristol, the bigger the audience signing this petition the better. We need Bristol City Council to sit up and take notice of how much people want a new stadium. They have to make the difficult decision to over rule the report, and say yes to our new stadium. We collected over 2500 signatures at last Saturdays game, which for a few hours work is pretty darn good. People were queuing up to sign, which just shows how strong the feeling is. Sorry to witter on, I appreciate that quite a few of us on here aren't into football, but I just wanted to explain things incase you felt like helping me out. Please help me  Here's the link to the petition. http://epetitions.bristol.gov.uk/epe...dium_not_green Also if you want to, we have made this You Tube Video to help explain things as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZZqNFrRVGg Thankyou, and I will shut up now.

If I sign, would the mighty Argyle have less of a chance of hosting a World Cup game?
Eh, I'll sign anyway. The way things are going we'll be lucky to be hosting League One games.

Done.
Seems to be a lot of these village green applications going in - we've had one around here. I see the Green Party are supporting it. :/ |
