Dastardly and Muttley Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 An unknown group has applied to English Heritage for the Memorial Ground to be listed as a war memorial. They have to wait for outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Perhaps the unknown group might possibly be Higgs and the board because they're to frightened to say they ain't got the funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloggie Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Quote from Higgs " The unfortunate result of these actions is another delay, which is very frustrating to all of us. Until now we have not raised this matter in the public domain, as we did not want to give the applicant a public platform to raise the profile of their actions Read more at http://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/article/english-heritage-1552223.aspx#rkhtXlXw48GsWvbF.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richwwtk Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 At first glance, this seems like a much more valid application than the village green one that stopped us moving to AV. Destroying a War Memorial doesn't seem a particularly good way to be commemorating the WW1 Anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I personally would rather they got the stadium, they are now non league and it would mean them moving out of Bristol, both would suit us much better in gaining future fans as it'd be further Rover fans to travel and the atmosphere would be awful for them, sitting in a big bowl with next to no-one in it.

I'd rather that the UWE plans went tits up, Sainsbury's pulled out, and Rovers stay in the conference for the next couple of years (with the loss of rugby income) it would be the death knell for them. They would cease to exist in five years i'd wager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would cease to exist in five years i'd wager. Thing is surely they'll lose more money by having a huge stadium with high costs and no atmosphere? They'll be in debt whether they admit it or not if it's completed and then when they go bankrupt and need to sell the stadium we can buy it for the rugby, move them in there and have Ashton Gate all to ourselves again haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 You learn something new every day. I always thought the gates were dedicated to rugby players only. The article in the post says it also includes footballers? Are any city players names on it? This is not something to trivialise, clearly the intention of the donor of the ground and gates intended them to be an everlasting memorial to the people who gave their lives.

Strictly speaking rugby footballers. The rugby club was originally known as Bristol Football Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether the agreement with UWE allows the sale of the ground without UWE's say so, is another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Another spurious, anonymous application with the sole intention of delaying the sale of the site to Sainsburys. What the **** is wrong with the people of Bristol, seriously? It's funny cus its them but what a backward city we live in. Weren't they proposing to keep the actual memorial gates anyway?
