Dynamite Red Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 So they have 7 days to appeal the judge's decision today then if that is unsuccessful they have 21 days to take the case to the court of appeal. I suspect this may roll on for a while yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Plea to all football fans - VOTE !! At any election, local or national, VOTE!!! Who for? Anybody but the Greens. They hate football and its fans, and they do their utmost to prevent any stadium developments anywhere. Apart from them, it's your choice but, if you love football, kick out the Greens.

Cider red Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 The JR and legal system in this country is an effing farce. But that wont stop me laughing at rovers. After seeing the comments on their forum gloating last week, my feelings of being genuinely happy for them reverted back to type. It would be great to see a double wammy of the stadium being taken from underneath their noses as well as being relegated to the conference where they truly belong. Effing minnows.

Don't forget they were up in arms about Ashton Vale. This isn't just about teams in Bristol and South Glos. This is about the future of football.

Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 They can request that they play away for the first couple of weeks if there is a likely delay for completion of the stadium, I can't see it being a problem at all. The UWE website shows an 18 month build time which already takes them to the end of September without further delays. I am aware this may be approximate but this will imply the first 10+ games will be away - I cannot imagine the FA/league will allow that as it will result in a disproportionate amount of home games in the run in and therefore they may be perceived to have an unfair advantage. Obviously if there are rules which say this is possible I stand to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS3 GAS Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 spoke to someone tonight and Rovers are sure the UWE stadium will be open for the 1st home game of 2015/16... the stadium will be built and fitted out for football 1st& foremost to ensure its ready for that date... conferencing, gym ect can wait a few months for their fit out ect. Building has to start by late june at the latest for this to happen, Buckingham group who are the contractors have a large work force on sight already doing prep work, not the sign of a company who appear worried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain activities have to be completed before the nesting season (widely accepted to be 1st April) or they are legally forced to delay to winter. Nick Higgs having experience of construction will know this and will have planned accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiz Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Loop hole where trash are claiming documental evidence was not seen or something ot worse was witheld. I wonder if that document will surface that states the land can only be used for sport. Interesting either way. I just want the ground to be kept for its intended use of sport and for rugby.

In the Net Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Will no one think of the hedgehogs? No, really Aizoon - NH made special efforts to ensure that the South Glos branch of Horace's dynasty had no chance to scupper the building schedule! "There has been an ecologist on site for the last few weeks assessing for nesting birds. mammals and hedgehogs. He has given it a clean bill of health and Nick approved the removal of all shrubs and vegetation immediately from the site before the nesting season starts. or other reptiles move back in. This will save months on the building programme, fantastic start and stops anyone protesting we have killed off nesting sites or local mammals etc." No doubt TrashHorfield will lodge the next stage of their appeal at 3.59 p.m. on 2nd April. They don't seem at all bothered that the judge tore them a new one re. time wasting, when he made his decision last week. They've certainly picked up a few tips from your Village Green chums.

Kingswood Robin Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 So they get 7 days to appeal the latest decision to reject an appeal ! If that appeal gets rejected, do they get to appeal that decision as well? When does it end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 It goes to the court of appeal they have 21 days to do this, if it is turned down in the court of appeal that's the end of the road and it gets built As the nimbys have form a plc they will simply bankrupt the company and be banned from directorship for 8 years The only lose will be the Bristol tax payer Also having worked on many major construction projects I can tell you most don't get finished on time The gas simply ask to play their first 4 fixtures away from home or request us to share ( won't happen) bath or Cheltenham (both won't happen ether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fixture list compilation is extremely complex as it is. You add the rugby into the mix as well, and it all gets very messy. Ground share with someone - not us - seems most likely I would say depending on how big a delay we're talking about here, unless they can reach an agreement with Sainsbury.

Manon Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I should think city and rovers could both be at home on the same day since they will be different counties, so no probs there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
