Bristol City may stay put at redeveloped Ashton Gate
The club will submit plans in the summer to redevelop Ashton Gate into a 26,000-seater, multi-purpose stadium which will be shared with Bristol Rugby Club. The club has struggled to get full approval for a brand new stadium at Ashton Vale.
In a letter on the club's website, the Managing Director John Lansdown says the plans would be deliverable in three years. They include:
Completely new stands built where the Wedlock and Williams stands are currently sited
Complete renovation of Dolman Stand and improvement of Atyeo Stand
New on-site museum of sport, shop and 'Wedlock's Pub'
New company to run Bristol City football club and Bristol Rugby Club
Stephen Lansdown, the owner of Bristol City football club and Bristol rugby club has formed a new company to run both clubs.
Bristol Sport Limited (BSL) will oversee the finances of both organisations under the guidance of new chairman Martin Griffiths.
I said at the time of the acquisition there was a great synergy between the two clubs and that I intended for them to work closely together.
When Martin Griffiths said he would come on board I was delighted as it gave the company an independent business-focused leader, which is just what we need to develop the commercial opportunities and to keep a strong grip on the finances.
