Given they have got this far with the cconstruction - I am really hoping they are told to adjust the dimensions of the structure by a few metres (maybe lower and not so deep?) We may mock about "meccano", but this does not look like meccano if the need to modify it arose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be amusing - but not as amusing as if their application just got thrown out & rejected, in light of their utter disregard for planning rules..... The contempt shown towards the rules that everyone else has to adhere to, is surely reason enough to reject any application and should also come with a 10 year ban on submitting any future plans for approval.... Sounds only fair to me..! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The company secretary deals with corporate governance and is responsible for filing relevant documents at Companies House. The club secretary deals with football matters and is responsible for filing relevant documents with the football authorities. The personal secretary deals with personal matters and is responsible for keeping senior management satisfied. As an example of the latter I've inserted a 1957 vintage photograph of my own personal secretary Marjorie receiving the news that I was on my way back from Liverpool with a point in the bag. Come, come Mr T - that Marjorie must have been a tad naive - any self-respecting student of Bristol football would know that your lot played away at Liverpool twice in 1957 - and you lost both, 4-1 and 2-0, can’t believe you fibbed to her - how do you sleep at night?!

That competition needs sustained attendances of less than 100, then there may be a -slim- chance, that we get listened to. Unfortunately (in my opinion) football's fanbase is changing and the matchday experience is becoming a very different thing, although I do accept that this may well be one some people want. To go slightly off topic, I still find it absolutely incredible, that many Champions league games are played in front of less fans to allow bigger advertising boards, I mean, FFS take that in for a second, what on earth is going on there? The one thing that hooked me as a youngster and I suspect did most people- certainly of my age, was the atmosphere at a game and the advent of things like B teams with a separate identity taking part in senior fixtures does,in my opinion, devalue the whole matchday experience. We are fighting a losing battle of course, but that still doesn't mean you should roll over and have your tummy tickled. 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The height of that stand at the front is taller than the other stand you can see. Definitely not a temporary structure as they are saying it is going to be! Temp stands are what the cricket bring in for fixtures at Nevil Road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

readie14 Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 The hard truth podcast new episode out today with Darragh McAnthony giving his view on the transfer window and what went on the last day . In a nutshell made a stupid offer on Wednesday and then on Thursday eventually agreed a fee on Friday in plenty of time. Peterborough filled in the transfer forms to help out(normally the buying club) kept reminding them about the extension etc and nothing forthcoming. Expects to sell JCH in January for at least the same fee but their will be several clubs after him then. Worth a listen, he was to professional to call then tinpot but reading between the lines think he was not a happy bunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 5 hours ago, phantom said: It is very temporary in the sense that it can all be unbolted again You can unbolt just about any steel construction, but is there a market on eBay for secondhand stands? City gave away their old floodlights a few years ago, but nowadays even non-league clubs tend to design and build their own stands. The Rovers stand has the disadvantage of having numerous pillars supporting the roof, which just doesn’t happen with new builds anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
