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???

 

Planning Permission was granted in December 2016. However as planning permission normally lapses after three years if it isnt implemented, it is possible that there is no planning permission currently in place.

If they are only proposing to clear up the site and improve the existing pitches then they may not need planning permission for Phase 1 but they wont be able to change the buildings without it.

Interestingly the planning proposal refers to non-professional use so it must be NLBR.

Ah but according to BP.................

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.

:rofl2br:

Their average attendance for last 10 years is 7334. Their average attendance this year 7397 - lower than Lincoln, MK Dons, Blackpool and Rotherham - marginally above peterborough


"Huge potential"

Ah yes, but let’s not forget that the Gas with their ‘massive’ fanbase...which is lower than Lincoln, Rotherham, Blackpool and MK Dons (FFS ?) are, apparently, bigger than many clubs in the Championship ??

I wonder who he means by ‘the enemies’? 
 

Deluded idiots...

In their defence (that feels dirty and wrong).  The "non-professional" reference appears to be in relation to the removal of a clause that has a non-professional restriction on it, meaning that it can then be used by a professional football club (in name, if not in spirit).

Thing is, we’ve seen enough examples of this sort of delusion over the years to know that these beliefs are pretty much the norm up at the Mem amongst the blue few.

Imagine standing in a half empty, 12k capacity stadium full of tents and chatting about how much bigger ‘da Gas’ are than clubs like Fulham, Charlton and Blackburn Rovers?

Absolute weapons. ?

There was also a restriction on the hours of use, which they were appealing against, something like restricted use between 9am and 5pm. I have a feeling they never continued with their application but, were in discussions with the planning authority over what they could do there. I believe applications for temporary structures are quite straight forward and, more importantly, don't need architect costs to implement them.

Bury No more.

Coventry City No. Not even close

Doncaster Rovers No. Years in the Championship plus a shiny relatively new stadium.

Fleetwood Town. Yes.

Gillingham, probably although preistfield probably makes it level. Let's be generous and say yes.

Ipswich Town No, don't be silly.

Milton Keynes Dons No. Big, modern stadium and recent years in the Championship.

Oxford United No. Years in the top flight, decent tadium although it's missing a side and matty Taylor. ;)

Peterborough United No. been in the Championship, better stadium already, new one on the way, proven investment.

I'm a bit bored in a zoom meeting which is going on for ever with some smarmy yank waffling away ('Hey Buck,' arsehole) so I've been doing a little comparison between delusion central and one of the teams the druggy said they are bigger than. I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions as it's obviously too tight to call.

As you rightly say ska this one is way to close to call maybe they are on a par with norwich thou accorrding to icegas ?? personally i think if they are looking for comparisions then maybe they should try Bitton fc or Mangotsfield fc even these two have facilites that look far more like real stadiums iam really struggling to think who they are comparable with ????

Really hard to disagree with any of that anyalsis.   6000 or so thousand of the great unwashed per home game and a "stadium" which is the envy of.....absolutely no one.  I am struggling to think of any team in any division that would gladly swap either fan base or stadium with Moron FC.   So that really sets them apart from everyone.  They are on a par with no one.

The list of teams they mentioned are something they would aspire to.

If you were pushed you would say likes of Accrington Stanley, Southend United, Gillingham and Fleetwood could be used as a fair comparison to their current state. They could have no complaints with that.

Anyway ground for ground they lose every single time. 

Accrington Stanley - On par - Room to develop if necessary.
