Swede Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Makes Wally's decision to pull out of UWE when UWE agreed to the new stadium plan, look even more stupid. Now they have no funding whatsoever apart from the few shillings that their new ice cream salesman throws in. I would guestimate that the cost of that temporary structure was to be factored into the sale of the old dump before moving to the fruitbowl. What they are left with is an old crumbling rugby ground that they don't want & that's had minimal investment in recent years. Whatever they do it will cost them a lot of money to develop this aging site; money they don't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgotten some of those articles in the BEP, "Demanding" that it was somehow Bristol City's duty to groundshare with them, what did it have to do with us? There was much more benefit to us to let them dissolve into nothingness, as was being suggested by their board. In fact there are so many statements from their board that they would be going out of business, you have to wonder why they still exist at all. This is existence ?

Ultimately the stands will no doubt be in place for a very long period of time Without looking into it, I suspect there are many similar structures around the lower leagues and non league 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsquirrel Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 wouldnt it have made sense to put it on wheels, from what i heard, most of them can tow a caravan, why not a little stand, be a bit like towing the waltzer round like the fairgounds do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 1 hour ago, Kid in the Riot said: 18,000 is realistic. Probably no more than that. Big stumbling block, it's going to cost a lot of money. Exactly. If they think they can just rebuild a few stands, get to 18k all seated and have change out of £10m I would suggest they are about £20m out on their calculations…… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHienz Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 After their rabid mass rally to support the club in sending in support... "While the number of public comments being received and uploaded onto the council's planning portal by planning officers has slowed in September, as of Tuesday morning, September 12, there have been a total of 913 letters of support for the application, with 214 letters of objection." *215 objections 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that if you want to build an extension to your property you can't go ahead until planning has been approved. This seems to contradict that. You can proceed with ‘unauthorised development’, but ‘it’s entirely at your own risk’. One risk is that if the case goes to Committee the politicians see the act of commencing/completing the development to which the application relates as undermining their authority and that pisses them off - so a refusal is more likely. This is particularly the case if there are some sound planning reasons around to back a refusal. An enforcement, followed by a stop notice, can be served though. If memory serves me right the Council can then apply to Court should then building continue in order to stop it. Should the magistrate/judge support the Council’s application an injunction will be served on the offending party resulting in mega ££££s/jail if breached. If they are not building in accordance with the details in the submitted plan, this will - from my experience - really piss the Councillors off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Madrid have a pitch which can be retracted in a couple of hours. Rovers have stands which can be dismantled in same time period. It's a fair comparison. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Gone up to a million pound bid. Typical, it'll be 2m by next week. Its nice that they are amazing and growing stronger every day - I assume thats from today rather than taking into account all the cockups of the previous days ? "Well that is now 725 pages on a stadium that doesn't exist and now looks very like it never will. We are Bristol Rovers we are amazing. There are some positives though, we bid a million pounds for a player, unfortunately though staff at the cub could't cope with reaching these giddy hight's of the transfer market and we cocked -up. Also for the first time in most of our histories of supporting the club, a new decent size stand is being built . So things are getting better, we are growing stronger every day." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
