In fact I’d bet on it. He won’t want to go quietly. Thought he gave up football years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all it is temp seating. Although they better get a move on as if they are waiting for planning consent then they could be waiting a while. Either way it's going to be dawning on them soon. Glamorgan used to have a lot of temporary seating that was I believe slided in for bigger games etc, I sat at the top of one of those "stands" and you could feel the thing lift, hopefully theirs will blow into the home stand (tent/big top) and crush nobody (a few...sorry) maybe a few pasting tables & some fake Fanta from the catering stall!

redysteadygo Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 Found this part of the suppliers statement on their propoganda site heralding their New Access System Partnership (stop snickering at the back) It’s the first time that Axess will have taken on a stadium like this in the UK. Talk about stating the bloody obvious. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must remember him, the lad 'who did nothing', the same lad who played Smith in for the winner against Man Utd. (The following 2 games likely made him a less than a cash neutral signing).

Pretty sure we’re still in the statutory consultation period. Personally, would have thought it would be highly improbable that a decision would be made within 8 weeks - which I think in this case is sometime late in August. Frankly, having been involved in planning for 40 odd years, I can’t understand what the hell Rovers are doing with their submission and frankly - all be it from the briefest of glances - how it got validated. It was patently obvious to anyone ITK that the ‘stand’ would not be remotely ready for the start of the season if due process was followed. I’m not even sure pp will be granted tbh. I'm not ITK or even involved with anything to do with building and/or obtaining planning permission, but to be fair anybody that doesn't live with their heads buried in the sand would probably realise that that stand was never going to be ready for the start of the season. Unless of course you're deluded.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
