In fact, and I confess to having subsequently found and read the original article in the Daily Star, it would seem that only one photo, the one where the lad is wearing the scarf, actually relates to Bristol Rovers.

cidercity Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Many people think that June and July are quiet months at football clubs but that is not the case here at Bristol Rovers. Not only have the club been working hard trying to strengthen the playing squad for the upcoming 2016/17 League One campaign but significant developments are also being made away from Darrell Clarke’s playing squad. The Memorial Stadium is undergoing a makeover. Rovers South Stand is going to be re-clad and completely refurbished along with an entire set of new seats. Along with the enhancements of the South Stand, we are delighted to announce that we will be re-introducing the South West Stand, which will hopefully increase our total capacity.Read more at http://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/article/memorial-stadium-makeover-3149923.aspx#8RSxg1hqVpTd4yX5.99 Seems the move to South Gloucestershire is not going to happen any time soon. Do i read that correctly, they are building an extension onto the South Stand ?, begs the question why if they are getting a shiny new stadium.

Bristol Rob Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 So they are putting in a new tent and they HOPE this will increase capacity. Not being tricky here, but surely if you add more seats without reducing capacity elsewhere then you SHOULD see an overall increase (unless you are counting the number locked out, which will decrease). #gaslogic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Wiki: Today Bedouins make up from 33% to 40% of the population of Jordan. Often they are referred to as a backbone of the Kingdom, since Bedouin clans traditionally support the monarchy. Most of Jordan’s Bedouin live in the vast wasteland that extends east from the Desert Highway.The eastern Bedouin are camel breeders and herders, while the western Bedouin herd sheep and goats. Some Bedouin in Jordan are semi-nomads, they adopt a nomadic existence during part of the year but return to their lands and homes in time to practice agriculture..
