RoystonFoote'snephew Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 Glad to see that Barnsley and Level Playing Field have shamed the Gas into a U-turn to allow disabled away supporters to their upcoming fixture. You can guarantee without intervention they wouldn't have altered their original position of no access for these supporters to the match.

Well they’ve not been in the second tier since 1993, but last time we were in same division as the skanks was 2000-01. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that’s why they’ve got “City” on the sleeves of their shirts now - can’t go wrong with just four letters. Expand it out, and it could be a teachable moment about where to use and omit apostrophes:- e.g. “Bristol Rovers haven’t been good enough to compete in Bristol City’s division since the early 2000s.” Or 'the football club's forgotten the planning permission' Do we need to add the apostrophe to the thread title? 'Bristol R*ver's dustbin thread' ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There in lies the balance - the ability to expand the stadium that will get used 22 times a year vs the inconvience to locals 365 days a year - if the new stand impacts light and causes all manner of other disruption. I'm pretty sure the Fewers will eventually get their new stand, however it might not be the quick and convenient job they were hoping it would be. I guess that revisions to the plans could still be made or requested, lowering the height or it for example. But if it's a pre-built/bolt it together thing and they've already paid for it, you wonder how easy it would be for them to make cost effective changes.

This was good un though... "We desperately need this stand built in order to satisfy the growing fan base. With the growing numbers this will not only help the football club to prosper but also the other small business's that surround the stadium. It is a win win for all." Growing fan base??

Which is one of the things I pointed out - no traffic/parking assessment. We all know that they couldn't give a toss about disabled supporters given their disgraceful current "facilities" and the fact Barnsley had to shame them into catering for their disabled supporters. Thats another objection - have they consulted with the appropriate authorites to ensure that disabled supporters are well catered for ? And having portaloos in a "stadium" in this day and age is disgraceful. How many are they going to install for an extra 2k people ? But its all very well making objections to the application, the way to get any objection noticed is by sending them direct to the councillors on the planning committee.

Open End Numb Legs Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 Just think how it could have been handled. Consult with the locals 1st, find out how they could sweeten the build by including facilities that could be used by the community on non match days, all sorts of potential there. Society is crying out for childcare or elderly social facilities that could be part of a new build. Have a plan, perfect it, submit to the council in good time. They are falling between 2 ideas, the fruityhad dream and short term crowd increase at the Mem. This means they could fail at both and in the meantime additionally get all the bad publicity of the postponed build, disabled access and smaller crowds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southend Blue Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 We play these at home in the League Cup tomorrow night. Alright on paper it would seem a straight forward win for us but actually wouldn't be surprised if they take a win back themselves over to your way. Why ? Because, we often struggle against lower league opponents particularly in Cup contests (got beat by both Cambridge and Stevenage in friendlies only a few days ago) and McKenna won't be taking it too seriously and we'll put out a lesser strength XI with a number of first team names not involved. We've never won the League Cup, I've seen a few semi-final appearances in all the years I've followed and watched Town but never got beyond the last four. It's not going to change this season either. I think the manager and players will take the F.A. Cup seriously next January but this competition won't be high on the list of this season's priorities. I think the last time we played them it was a draw, a 0 - 0 non-event 'I want my money back' kind of game but in the excitement of last season's promotion it seems kind of lost or trivial compared to other things.
