Tinmans Love Child Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 1 hour ago, Merrick's Marvels said: I strongly suspect the Mayor will just wave this through retrospectively. The new stand won't increase their capacity by so much that parking/amenities will be adversely affected, surely? And although it's a bigger tent than the one its replacing, I don't think it will impact the houses behind that much - and I'm not sure that's even still a thing these days, "right to light" being a thing of the past (I think). Re: right to light no longer being a thing, does that mean we could build a bigger stand to replace the Atyeo? I always thought the issue was right to light?

Red-Robbo Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 1 hour ago, Merrick's Marvels said: And I still believe Rees will make sure everything is smoothed over and waved through, retrospectively if necessary. The planning committee of BCC makes the decision. The Mayor is only involved in policy decisions on the strategic plan - like where to put a new concert venue and/or if the proposals are financed by major amounts of BCC cash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do you think that's how it will pan out in reality, given Rees' personal bias and the historic inclination for BCC to bend over backwards for the Blue Few?

Do they really 'bend over backwards' for them? Their ground is a dump so I can't see how on earth they've benefited from anything. Except not having a demolition order imposed. Maybe that was it . 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 3 hours ago, Former Pirate said: The one positive is that I know someone in the planning department of BCC and it definitely has been submitted. Not sure on exact date though and their portal is abysmal for updating things. Either way they aren’t getting approval this side of September absolute best case. There's a 6-8 month delay in allocating planning applications to officers at BCC at the moment. I suspect Rovers will try and bully their way through the system by starting building and then pleading with the council that they can jump the queue as it would be urgent. It's a very unprofessional and risky way of going about doing things, but consistent with Rovers under Wael. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seventeen Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 So on the JB thing a lot of gas over on our forum saying it could be nothing - could be as little as a push and everyone’s getting worked up etc. Wait for the full story(why didn’t the club?) I have saw the tweets from the alleged sister of the alleged victim and they’re not great reading. One implies he punched her head from behind unprovoked and repeatedly, knocked her to the ground and carried on and also spat at her. Some more digging reveals she’s said that there is footage and he also attacked police on the scene. So there’s footage out there and also tweets with a version of what happened from someone allegedly related to the alleged victim yet some of our moronic idiots are defending it, playing it down and some even saying well lucky us cos we’ve got a good player out of it when we wouldn’t have otherwise!!! Even if this is false if the club have done their due diligence they would have found this and waited until the trial!! I thought Joey and his nonsense was the final straw but the way gas fans have reacted is completely embarrassing and I don’t think I could ever go to the same stadium full of so many people with so little morals even after Joeys gone. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
