WessexPest Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 What does a Gash “Fun Day” consist of? Stick one on the donkey? Musical Chairboys? WheelBARROW race? White elephant stand? Goal shy? 2 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 4 hours ago, Gert Mare said: They’re threatening each other now on AssChat like a pack of feral dogs and still blaming anyone other than their shambolic club ownership. Tinpot I do find it unbelievable that "nice man" Wael has appointed Barton and then let him sign that Exeter striker. This has totally divided their fanbase and the rows keep flaring up between them, the damage from bringing those scumbags to Rovers is going to cast a long shadow. I wouldn't be surprised to see some scrapping between their own fans this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackers Corner Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) Intresting comment in bristol live. I suppose you could argue they packed the tent away.. "There has been no demolition work, a previous structure has been dismantled and the ground on which it stood has been levelled and prepared and a few bushes (not trees) have been removed."

Excellent, well I’m sure the law people will be all over it and hope they ask for the survey that proves no birds were killed or injured, no birds eggs were damaged and no birds nests were damaged or destroyed during nesting season (nesting season being exactly when they pulled the trees/bushes/shrubs down). When they work this out I’m sure the trees that became just bushes will become Bonzai instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 One of our friendly Rovers visitors explained that the ground at the Mem was originally built up at the south end with waste from south wales coal mines and locals have complained of noise and vibration so maybe piling works have been going on or will be needed at some point.

SecretSam Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 It's an interesting thing, a temporary stand. I was up at an open day at Brum Uni, just before the Commonwealth Games. The Uni was hosting the hockey, IIRC, and they had a huge temporary stand in place. It looked perfectly fine and was obviously OK to use. However, it had no roof, no facilities, and was pretty ugly. So it should fit right in at the Mem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 This one too that seems to have forgotten that if you do your homework, take your time and follow the process you can build/rebuild a stadium in Bristol. The other thing is they keep referring to this as being a "temporary" structure, but that is presumably assuming that all will go well at the FM project, otherwise it will be as temporary as that flyover that used to be in front of St Mary Redcliffe church.

petehinton Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 You just know that when they get planning permission, they’ll act as if these comments of support lodged are what swayed it. “We did it” “we beat the council” “best fans in the world FTG ” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did #HerGameToo ever clarify their position on the Fewers after they signed that bloke? I had a look at the planning application site. It seems as though there has been a campaign by Rovers fans to bombard the council with letters of support. Unfortunately, most of them have missed the point - i.e. you've got to comment on planning grounds. Most of the letters of support just say it will be a good thing for Bristol Rovers, which is totally irrelevant for a planning application 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gornagain Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 You all may remember following the webcam as the Lansdown went up and fondly recall the clear, steady progress as the structure was built and the seats installed. As our friends up north currently lack this, here is an alternative for them https://seaice.alaska.edu/gi/observatories/barrow_webcam/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Geoff Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Thought these comments from the local councillor summed it up quite succinctly. Stance: Customer made comments neither objecting to or supporting the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:I am leaving my comment neutral as although I have grave concerns about this application, I believe that if the ground cease work as they have been advised by me and others, and spend time working on their application and proper community engagement and assessments, then they may be able to have an application worth granting. Like may residents have comment, there is no objection to a larger and improved stand, but there are many serious concerns about how the club has operated so far. Removing trees without an EIA, a poorly managed and unsafe building sight. Ignored calls to stop work while the proper impact assessments are carried out, not engaging with residents properly, not having the correct persons on sight, contractors working unsafely without PPE, concrete and detritus washing down residential streets. Working at antisocial hours. And not having the correct impact assessments and consultations in place before putting in the planning application or indeed starting work. I believe the club need time to sort all of this out and do this properly, If they can get this all in order and prove that they can build a safe stand with all considerations in mind then I will be supportive. However I must currently take into consideration what I have seen, and what residents in my ward have reported to me as well as their concerns. I believe this application is going to need a lot of attention from officers to make sure it is done correctly. 6 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
