Doesn’t he remember how badly that’s ended for him before (cough) Matty Taylor Because in a time when my football clubs looking decidedly incompetent, the first thing in my mind is responding to rival fans rather than sorting it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That dwindling band of buck toothed webbed feet neanderthals who turn up to watch them can look at that blank end and be constantly reminded of how tinpot they all are. Perhaps Sainsburys could advertise on that blank board. Its not even boarding, it's tarpaulin sheet over temporary mesh fence, Lets hope these winds drop.

They are a massive stain on North Bristol’s identity and play absolutely no part within the local community whatsoever (thankfully) other than to make us incredibly embarrassed at how shite a club is situated in our local vicinity! Even the few that are around here that I’ve spoken to admit what a balls up of a club they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does a "temporary" stand count as a major development? It might be "ambitious" according to their statement, but does anyone else see it that way? Anyone?

Unan Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 11 hours ago, phantom said: I wonder which disability group will pick this up first..... In the UK, venues such as sports grounds are legally obliged, under the terms of the Equality Act 2010, to ensure that people with disabilities aren't disadvantaged when it comes to accessing and enjoying their facilities If you believe that a football stadium or any other venue in the UK is not adhering to the accessibility requirements outlined in the Equality Act 2010, you can take the following steps to address the issue: Contact the Venue Directly: The first step is to reach out to the venue management or customer service to inform them about the accessibility issues you've observed. They may not be aware of the specific problems, and this direct communication might prompt them to take corrective action. Local Authority: If contacting the venue directly doesn't lead to satisfactory results, you can contact your local authority. They are responsible for enforcing various regulations, including those related to accessibility. They may be able to investigate the matter and work with the venue to ensure compliance. Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC): The EHRC is a government agency responsible for promoting and enforcing equality laws in the UK. They can provide guidance and advice on issues related to equality and accessibility. While they may not investigate individual cases, they can offer information on your rights and how to address the situation. Disability Rights UK: Disability Rights UK is a national charity that works to promote and protect the rights of disabled people. They offer information, resources, and support on various disability-related issues, including accessibility. Local Access Groups or Disability Organizations: There might be local advocacy groups or disability organizations in your area that can provide guidance and support. They may also have experience in addressing similar issues and can offer advice on how to proceed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 The comments on the club statement on Twitter are absolutely golden. I genuinely don't think there is another club in the land better than Rovers....in terms of playing the victims. I mean, wow!

I’d imagine one to do with a football club will get bumped up the priority list quite a bit. I also expect Marvin Rees will get involved at some point as well demanding things get resolved for their fans. Well he's got plenty of time as he wasn't even selected for the PPC to the new seat of Bristol North East. I see his acolytes are kicking up a fuss and playing the race card........

Eddie Hitler Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 12 hours ago, Kid in the Riot said: For me, being a league club and failing to qualify for the League Cup will never be beaten. I assume they are the only club in the history of English football ever to achieve this incredibly embarrassing feat? I knew that it had happened once subsequently for the same reason, a bye given to a club in European competition, but I didn't recall the club. It was AFC Wimbledon in 2011/12. The 4 in brackets after each club refers to their division. Preliminary round Times up to and including the fourth round are BST (UTC+1). Times from the quarter-finals onwards are GMT (UTC±0). Due to newly relegated (and League Cup title holders) Birmingham City having a bye to the third round following qualification to the Europa League and the extra Europa League berth awarded to Fulham through the Fair Play league, newly promoted AFC Wimbledon and Crawley Town played each other in a preliminary round. The draw for the round took place on 13 June with Crawley Town at home. This was the first need for a Preliminary Round since the 2002–03 season. 29 July 2011 Crawley Town (4) 3–2 AFC Wimbledon (4) Broadfield Stadium, Crawley 19:45 Akpan 38' Torres 53' Tubbs 64' Report L.

Rudolf Hucker Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 I was talking to a Fewer season ticket holder, last night and asked him for his thoughts on the new season. He’s generally quite a sensible lad. “We’re getting right aboard the Championship Express this year, I’m convinced of it. I can only see us getting promoted.” were his first words. “League One is nowhere near as strong as it was last year and, although I haven’t seen any of our preseason matches, apparently we’re playing some brilliant football and have made some great signings. It’s a shame that Joey won’t be able to be there for the first three games but I think it’ll still be ok.” I asked him about the problems with the new stand (as you would) … ”We’ve done nothing wrong by clearing the ground. The absence of planning permission doesn’t prevent you from preparing for the new build. We haven’t built anything yet, just cleared the area and cut down a few bushes.” I told him that their actions throughout had been shambolic; they’d failed to consult with their neighbours - the very people they needed to get onside in order to ease the planning permission process. “Yeah but, less than a mile away, when they wanted to build those new flats at the County Ground, they didn’t have anywhere like the problems we’re getting yet there are loads of houses all around that ground. The problem is it’s planning permission requested by a football club and it becomes tribal because people have a thing about football supporters. People may not want to grant us planning permission just because they don’t support us.” I replied that I thought the major problem was that they actually failed to apply for planning permission, in time or with a strong enough case. “Ah well, umm, yeah, well” was his considered response! So, to summarise ala @BigTone, they are coming for us and the ground problems aren’t of their making. The whole world is against Bristol Rovers (even though they’re everyone’s favourite second team) Last night, I witnessed delusion first hand. I loved what I saw! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how embarrassing they are as a football club. My list in order: 1) Relegated to Non League by a team wearing their kit 2) Losing Matty Taylor to us for peanuts after saying he wouldn’t go for less than £10 million. 3) Sainsbury’s screwing them over 4) Tent Stands 5) Santas Grotto 6) The Worlds worst open top bus tour 7) Joey Barton taking them to the Basement 8 This stand fiasco 9) Getting knocked out of the FA Vase by Bath City 10) the ‘Unlucky da shit’ video Its likely that I’ll suddenly remember some other giant Rovers related **** up that should be in this top 10 (there’s been so many) so it’s worth bearing in mind that the order can change but number 1 will always be number 1 Taking a year to get their “big” screen up and running will always be in my top ten. They finally get the ******* thing up; then find they don’t have the power to run it, so need generators, then discover it was bought from a company owned by “The Rosy Cheeked Lady Garden” Priceless !! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging from the quality (or lack of) the original application I suspect that they thought it was a done deal and put the application in themselves. I think they now have planning consultants on board, or they should have if they want to get it done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
