Isn't it amazing that we can build that massive roof on the Lansdown stand with zero restricted views and they have a 163 seater tent with FIVE posts in the way. EDIT: Just realised why those seats are more expensive, because the posts are in the way you don't have to watch it all. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The premium seats in the middle have 2 posts in the way and not even a row H . Tinpot rovers Serious question, I'm confused why they went through the expense of putting this stand up for just 163. Surely the space it has replaced could have catered for a larger number? So they have actually decreased their capacity building this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 They'll be telling everyone that they've gone from being 60 % full to 65% and point to it as progress....rather than because of them reducing the amount of inbreds they can get in there. Because they're loyal and prowed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter anyway as they never sell out and don't need the extra Capacity. It just allows them to charge 163 people a fiver more and makes it look as though they are trying to improve things.

The highest paid bloke at Bristol Rovers FC should be the one tasked with naming all of their “stands”..! It can’t even be a one off job, with the majority of them being temporary! I reckon the reason it took so long to get the big screen up was because the delivery note said “please put this up next to the tent” Thats like a condom wrapper in a brothel saying “please use on the illegal immigrant” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, make me think that the adverts will mainly be either "in-house" ,for the Bank of Jordan or for the hotel the family have got a share in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
