RedRock Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 It was, however, fully in their control to submit a planning application in a timely manner and to the requisite standard. Time to stock up 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't it only used to be a small area near the TV screen? Plans for the ‘Sporting Quarter’ were with the planning department for nearly two years, so hardly rushed through. I know a temporary stand is on a different scale, but the Council should call them out, processing their application in the same timeframe, so 18 months for a decision, meaning it will be ready for the start of the season (2025/6, that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could run and run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 27 minutes ago, JBFC II said: So basically its the fault of the EFL for not allowing them to start with 2 away fixtures, Barnsley for not agreeing to swap the fixtures around and the local planning authority for not allowing them to build without due diligence. Maybe, just maybe, it's because you are a pathetically run excuse of a football club, who struggle to construct anything that doesn't require guy ropes and have ultimately become a total laughing stock nation wide? What I find strange is it was only a month or so ago I read one of the blue few complaining that us starting at home (because the balloon fiesta is the second week) was so unfair & why couldn’t they start at home? Now transpires they couldn’t do so anyway. Loving the imaginative use of the word “ambitious” for their meccano construction at Alton Rd, by the way. If they are seriously pretending it will be ready by the second home game it isn’t exactly like building the South stand, is it? Tinpot ******* losers. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't getting resolved until October time, at the earliest. I have to say it's laughable of Rovers to suggest that this was "beyond their control".

Homer Simpson Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 From Bristol Live, please let this be true. Additionally, there have been delays in the planning process amid a backlog in the planning department at Bristol City Hall which has 'effectively ground to halt' with at least four months of backlogs to even be assigned a planning officer at Bristol City Council. 1 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
