Bristol Rob Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 guessing they will try and fashion a couple of pitches and stick a tent and portacabin in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the answer to either question, what I do know is that for a few quid you can do a "Pre- planning Application", where they will give you an idea (not a guarantee) as to whether your full application will be successful. I think mine for a private residence was £25, but it might be more for commercial developments.

Don't think it will ever really start properly let alone finish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible, but I just wonder if the owners of the current site have said "Sorry but you can't train here anymore" and they have been left with no option...

In reality, if they manage to continue, they'd need somewhere next year anyway, so need to plan for it. Portaloo's and pitches are all I can see happening. Then they keep the option of developing it properly, for housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furious Custard Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, Port Said Red said: I had a look on the blue side and so far no one has gone that route (so far). Someone has questioned whether they have planning permission in place though, presumably they have an application in that they have been told will be green lit? I'm semi involved in the planning industry. Anyone can search the local registers for planning applications that have been made. I cannot find anything relating to a training pitch at this site. So no planning yet. I imagine the image is from an architect bidding for the the job or for a pre planning application. The crest on the side of the building looks interesting???

You realise that’s an image of our new training ground building which would have been generated prior to the crest change......what’s this got to do with the sags application or lack of one?

Or Weston literally have that exact setup already? Truly they are coming for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll still believe it when I see it though. Absolutely. Lets be honest, they have an abysmal record of delivering anything they've promised since they arrived. They'll do the bare minimum at very best and even then it'll be to suit their interests and not for the benefit of the club in the long term. Also been somewhat forced into this have they not? Can't stay at the current site anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 According to the Post site, they are actually getting the first team pitch ready for the upcoming season. I still say it's a smokescreen which as Gazred states, has been forced onto them. One or two leveled pitches and a portacabin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just remember, this is the 15ers we are talking about. With their track record, they are more likely to come up with something like this, including trees just outside of the penalty area.

wendyredredrobin Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 UWE was a cert. The Fruit Market was a cert, now the training complex. They even promised the fans a stand and gave them a bus stop and then to make it worse, sold tickets for a non-existent Row M. Can you really take any notice of anything they say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 As the saying goes - the proof is in the pudding. City and Bristol Bears, with the help of Steve Lansdown, are constructing multi million pound training facilities, which have taken years to plan and build. Rovers, on the other hand, are going to knock something up by the start of the next season - ie a few months time. Rovers fans are in raptures on their forum about this new development, but they should be careful. What will they get in a few months? Just something to provide more laughs on the OTIB forum. We currently have pictures comparing Ashton Gate with the tents at Filton, but soon we’ll have pictures comparing the Failand facilities with some grass and portacabins at Almondsbury 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s hoping The Colony development is a success, and then full attention can turn to delivering a new home which will unlock the huge potential of Bristol Rovers and its fanbase. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
