I'm not saying 'no' but you have to convince me and until then, you'll be getting nothing. Not been paying attention and correct me if I'm wrong but i saw a story in the evil post, or whatever it is, to the effect that the gas started work on the stand BEFORE being granted permission? what the actual ****?

They do like to pump out numbers that are always incorrect, 40,000 at Wembley, the locked out numbers, home support, away support, 12000 regularly etc etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRaw Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 2 hours ago, pongo88 said: 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 The local media seem to use the number of support/objections as some sort of poll as to whether a project should go ahead or not in a sort of ‘the public have spoken’ sort of way. thankfully, as you say, regardless of numbers, they are only taken into account on planning grounds/issues raised. 99% of the time, comments from the public have no sway whatsoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 There are some double belters over on Gaschat, somehow moaning that not all of the objections are from people in the immediate area and therefore, those should be dismissed, whilst at the same time, encouraging Fewers far and wide to submit letters of support (evidently the same rule doesn't apply), also the posts that state that Gloucs - on a REGULAR basis - host 18,000 for ODIs... Yeah, because England play white ball cricket there 22 times a season... Oh wait, that doesn't happen. And when it does happen, it's a one-off, usually midweek and in a temporary stand that is removed when it won't be needed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One post said those objecting are the sort who often do so for “humatarium” reasons, what the **** even is that? Another post responding to rumours of a new investor actually said Wael has said that he wouldn’t want to lose control but he might reduce his stake to 25%. Incredible. Did no one in Fishponds ever do maths at school? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrFaustus, has been a half decent poster on here and the BBC 606 website in the past, I don't know if he is ITK, but he isn't as gullible or "imaginative" as some of the others. I would think any investment though might be dependent on a favourable outcome of the FM assessment next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinapig Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 They seem to be missing the argument that would clinch planning consent. Their new mega stand will remove the major disruption caused to local residents by thousands being locked out of every game. Any Gasheads here feel free to copy this to the planning comments.
