BristolBEAT Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 What on earth is this.....just look at it! A stand with pillars in this day in this age is bad enough. Talk about mind the gap, I actually feel sorry for Gasheads. How embarrassed would you feel right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 To fair, with the pillars you get restricted views and that has to have big appeal when watching Rovers. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 So they have designed a stand where pretty much every seat will have a restricted view. Usually, that would be a massive negative, but if you had to go to Rovers, that is probably a bonus. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 I don’t know why they just go for something like the away end at Yeovil, save themselves the bother of a shit roof and make it the away end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't got it yet! You really want the builders moving in the day after the last home game. For them to be on standby waiting for planning permission is not ideal. Then the school holidays kick in. On the plus side for them it isn't actually that big a structure. My guess is the stand might open without the concourse ready, just the seating? If they get it all built then fair play to the builders. Maybe there will be a penalty clause to encourage them, you know, 'get it built in time or we will make you watch the games'.
