As far as I know Rhymes were told if they tried to open,all access roads would be shut leading to the campsite and offered them an alternative field on the South side.Not sure if they were offered money not to open as well as.I think Totterdown was offered money not to open but declined.They apparently did want Rhymes gone more so, meaning aircraft could use Rhymes as a display axis so I was told.
