Bristol City Football Club has played at AshtonGate since 1904. During that time the stadiumhas become a major part of the social andeconomic make-up of the area. However thestadium is now placing constraints on theClub’s aspirations for the future.
Having investigated the options, it is felt that the Clubrequires a new home and plans for a new stadium at Ashton Vale are well advanced. This fits with the aspirations of theClub and supports the role of Bristol as a regional sportingvenue for the South West. It also has the potential to givea major economic boost to the region as well as theregeneration of nearby South Bristol.However a new stadium is expensive and to ensure thatit can be delivered, it is important that the Club is able torealise the value of its main asset – the existing stadium at Ashton Gate.
