Robins seek Government help over stadium
Bristol City have taken their fight for a proposed new stadium to the House of Commons.
The npower Championship club are contesting an inspector`s report that suggests the development site at Ashton Vale be granted `Town and Village Green` status.
The final decision rests with Bristol City Council but the club has been gathering evidence against the report and are now taking their fight to MPs.
"The rules which have seen the stadium held up are ridiculous," chairman Steve Lansdown told the club`s official website.
"We have gone through all due process with the democratic planning process, had consultations with the public and we have got agreement from both sets of councils and suddenly this joker has been thrown onto the table.
"This project is a big project so we are drawing MPs' attention to the vagaries of this legislation and asking for it to be reviewed."
