Why are planners allowing another Tesco?

“The writer of this letter really seems to have a problem with store recognition. I should think the various supermarket marketing people will be tearing their hair out in frustration on reading this letter,and wondering "Why do we bother"?.

As for the content of the letter, I would suggest it says more about the intelligence of its author rather than stand as a legitimate comment. Perhaps the letters editor should start to earn his or her corn and actually edit some of the rubbish before printing it.”

“to the original poster are you a bristolian as there are so many inaccuracies in your post its unbelieveable, you say local shop keepers are only just coping with the loss of buisness to the co-op, the co-op has been on that site since the early 80's(possibly longer), very few of the shops are the same as they were back then, so the co-op has been there a lot longer than most of the traders, the only one that springs to mind as open wwith the same owners is the glass shop opposite, so please check your facts before scaremongering. Again before trying to get people up in arms about a memorial please check your facts as the ground was first used by clifton rugby club to play rugby during the 1800's. was used for buffalo bills circus, and was used as allotments during WW1 ,thereafer in i think 1921 was sold to Bristol rugby club, who built the ground as a memorial to rugby players who died during WW1, so again please check your facts as they are easily obtained, You then go on to mention Eastville as burning down that simply DID NOT HAPPEN , what happened was a stand was burnt down and the owners of the stadium sold out, BRFC then set up a ground share with Bath City FC and far from not working out was very successful, BRFC and Bristol rugby club set up a share in which rovers purchases 1/2 the ground and had the option to purchase the other 1/2 for a token sum if the rugby club went bust(it was the same if rovers went bust), So in fact Bristol rovers own the ground not BCC.
I find your whole approach to the memorial totally and utterly disrespectful you just had to use the word NAZI as if it was something big, it may be time for you to reread the history books as in all he conflicts this country has taken part in since WW1 the nazi's only appear in one, so im sorry but your childish attempt to make someone read your inaccurate drivel and get up in arms because the Nazi's are coming is wrong( you probably guessed i hate people who have to resort to the use of the word nazi to try and win an argument).

As far as can be made out only the gates are a designated memorial and in the redevelopment will be kept and incorporated into a bigger memorial with a garden which will rightfully push the memorial into the public eye


Again bristol cc are not selling nothing off before an independant mayor as BRFC own the ground and land
So before you get on your high horse and decide to write a letter full of lies and trying to get sympathy using buzzword, 2 things please get your facts right and secondly how dare you sully the memories of our fallen especially at this time of year with innacuracies and lies just so you can look big infront of your drinking buddies”

“To the letters Editor, how can you publish a letter with so many obvious factual errors. Most of the content regarding Rovers and the Mem are simply incorrect. Please in future take the trouble to read what you are about to print in future.
