The employment opportunities the scheme will generate could be life-changing for communities all over South Bristol and further afield. Huge decision to make. I think we already know the answer to that question, but I’m saying nothing further on the subject.

I’m not, whatever we think of BCC, the decisions being made on schemes appear to be completely random, schemes that internal officers have recommended to reject (such as the huge one on Mead St) have been approved & then others recommended to be approved (such as the one on the old Peugeot garage by Temple Meads) have been rejected. It is a totally unpredictable process. Edited September 24, 2022 by GrahamC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping they’d demolish the grey building opposite the engine shed and reroute the road by the petrol station or something in order to make more space in front of TM.

Despite that pretty sure I saw something about concerns over the height, which is a recurring theme with these proposals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clutton Caveman Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 On 14/07/2022 at 17:46, Rich said: I'm speaking from memory here regarding the Atyeo stand but, we had advisors within the club who seemed scared of upsetting the relationship that the club had with the planning department, I'd had meetings with them re boxes in the Dolman. As a result of that fear, the Atyeo stand was not built to it's possible height, or depth in proximity to the houses while still meeting planning guidance. So in current planning laws it could be rebuilt mirroring the South Stand. As far as the Dolman is concerned, it also could be built higher and closer to the existing flats. There is a space of nearly 4mts to the rear which could be built with an overhanging rake. This would allow emergency vehicles access along the rear of the stand, something required by law, as there's no access to parts of the ground from all sides. The lower Dolman is a hotchpotch of gangways, so a completely new stand would improve that and have a capacity increased to about 10k. So between those two increases we'd possibly add another 5k seats. Not needed currently but, I'm of the belief and more positive in my thoughts that, we could be a more successful club, with a much larger support base and we must aim higher. There's absolutely no reason why we couldn't compete with the majority of premiership clubs. Why think otherwise? Frankly I am not too interested in spending a bunch of money to improve the experience of away supporters at that end. I would rather see us hang onto our young stars and make a meaningful promotion challenge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenchred Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 We heard all this when the new stadium was being prepared and the club refused to listen to the nimby 's Remember sexton giggling at the lady in a forum down the city ground when she asked if town green status had been considered. We all know how that turned out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
