Look how we had to jump through hoops really parking etc. They're in a far worse position than we were IMHO. Just because they can build to 17/18k doesn't mean they would be allowed to. As to using the Gate, I would hope the 2nd word in reply to any request is 'off'! Edited August 9, 2017 by Ska Junkie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see this plan being built - corners were earmarked for student flats for starters. Looking at the size of that with absolutely no car park, how did planning permission get granted with relative ease? Street parking around there is murder when 8k turn up. I know it's bad down the gate but we were already in a 20k stadium and have the park and ride (in theory) to ease congestion. How big was that stadium supposed to be? And can anybody remember the argument they made to show local infrastructure could cope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind them sharing the gate, charge them 1.5 million a week and put a clause that they have to pay £100 a ticket and we get to keep all the proceeds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even some of them refused to go and watch Bristol Rugby play there, but they are quite happy to use it whilst the Mem is flattened for rebuilding. Let's hope that the only rebuilding to be done on a flattened Mem would be houses! **** off Irene. I thought we had got rid of them for good in 2014, but they had to come back and start festering again. It's like turning up to a PE lesson every week and being sent to scavenge through lost property for some kit!

Not without moving the whole ground across several meters. But then where would parking be made available..? Oh and money.

Bristol Rob Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 The apathy of Rovers fans about this and everything else sums them up. If we were fed decades of under investment, broken promises and third world conditions there would rightly be all sorts of protests. They as a supporter base seem to have no method of getting answers or challenging things. The lack of coherent support groups on their small patch of the city only goes to show how the 'most passionate fans in the world' are so use to being fed shit that they just accept it. And long may that continue. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 1 hour ago, Nibor said: That isn't how planning or the legal system works. Precedent doesn't come into planning. The council are perfectly within their rights to arrive at a different decision even if the application was exactly the same because many other external factors could be different. The only appeal is a judicial review and for that to succeed it has to be shown that there was something wrong with the decision in a very narrow set of criteria based on the procedure applied not the actual decision. Even if you win a judicial review it doesn't mean you get the decision you want, the court could simply direct the council to make the decision again. Worth pointing out that typically judicial review is eye wateringly expensive too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
