The club certainly keep him busy. No doubt he'll now be employed for a certain centre forward at the club who is in Court next week as well? Figures...

Some of our potential season ticket holders had trouble with Ticketmaster and were in effect 'locked out' .

So given the determination date is 3 weeks after the start of the season and they haven't even started building it yet, where are they going to put all the supporters that have bought ST's in this non-existent stand???

Probably a better view of the Concourse than the Goal, what with all those Stanchions in the way. Still, I guess having a restricted view ticket out there is a bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magger, you're a deluded doughnut! Not only is the fan base less than half the size but it’s also dying out. Very very few youngsters support the few, the gap is growing, you ****, not closing.

As that’s documented I’d hope that the appropriate authorities deal with them. Not only between those dates. Similar to an application next door to me. If you look at the application form where information is provided to the question "are any trees or hedges to be removed" the NO dot is filled in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterRedthanBlue Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 Looking at the design brief how can they say it's not going to be any bigger? It looks bigger on the designs! Also they are cutting down trees and hedges (as set out in the objects) and have marked no surely that should be an automatic rejection.

Pedrowe Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 It’ll be interesting to see how the planning application plays out. It’s pretty minor scheme in the grand scheme of things, but the quality of application itself is appalling. It barely gives any detail for residents to understand the impacts of the proposal. I’d imagine the good people of Horfield (wasn’t there a campaign group before?, Residents Opposed to Stadium Expansion, ROSE??) will kick up enough of a stink to get it to a planning committee and delay it a bit. That said, it seems like Rovers are ploughing on regardless, which is an interesting approach to maintaining good relations with their neighbours… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 Here's a taster, gurt Teds in the objections I tell you... Comment Details Commenter Type: Neighbour Stance: Customer objects to the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment: Bristol Rovers have been constructing this stand without planning, or consideration for neighbours for a number of weeks, they have been starting works as early at 6:30am and concluding as late as 8pm. They have ripped down trees and shrubs which are necessary to protect privacy to residents on the street, and to act as a barrier for noise and the rubbish which comes from the ground, as well as being a loss for wildlife. The proposed stand is much larger, and will impact on the light in the street, the noise on match day and the number of people which park on the street which is already restricted. The new structure will clearly over shadow neighbouring homes and gardens. The increased capacity will significantly increase the number of cars on the narrow streets, and the number of people who park dangerously, the grounds do little to assist with this in any way currently. It also means residents with young children, or mobility issues, are often left unable to park near or on the surrounding streets to their homes. The ground already makes a significant amount of noise for local residents, and in the past they have left on their scoreboard emitting a high pitched noise often for days. If the capacity is increased the noise will also increase, this is often late into the night, and is not appreciated by those of us with young children. Trees on the boundary between residents gardens and the grounds have been ripped down with no consideration for neighbours privacy or the impact on the local wildlife, especially as we are in nesting season. I am concerned the impact that increased capacity has on the fire evacuation procedure, the grounds currently use the entrance on Alton road as an emergency exit, the close proximity of the stand to this exit, and the large number of people who would be on the narrow street is a cause for concern. Given the scale of the new stand and the impact on the surrounding properties it is going to stick out, as a metal box that does nothing to improve the visuals for the area The grounds have not responded satisfactorily to any queries raised by locals as to the impact the stand will have on them, they have not conducted any public consultation, giving adequate notice for attendance or with anyone who is involved in the project. They believe that they can build the stand no matter the impact, and that nothing will be done. Although the planning application has only been made live, they have already been sharing plans on their website and selling tickets for the stand, and started construction. Their actions suggest they are above any laws, rules and processes put in place that might hinder them having this stand operational for the new season. 9 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHienz Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 The supporting comments are gold. "Its rovers right to build, the stadium was there first!"

cityal Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 From one of the objections: Quote In addition to the issue of planning permission, there is a lack of evidence to justify the proposed increased stadium capacity. The current proposal fails to provide any data or analysis that convincingly demonstrates the need for such expansion. It is imperative that any increase in capacity aligns with the demands and needs of the local community, and is supported by sound evidence Asking the gas for facts/evidence is akin to asking them where the soap is kept. It will be greeted by a vacant gormless stare 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
