I bloody hope not, this is getting really embarresing, we need to get rid not get more of them. When I watch the goal highlights programmes all the the grounds look the same. At least we're unique in the UK if not Europe. Go for it Wael, love the Bedouin look. Well, we are (black) arabs.....

Some may call it a dump but I would call it quirky! I hope when we redevelop it properly it still has some character to it. In many ways the UWE stadium design was actually quite bland tbh. Oxfords old Manor Ground had character with their multiple odd shaped stands but they were permanent structures, ours is just embarrassing especially when guttering falls off one from a wayward shot. A couple of weeks back, I was watching Rovers on iFollow when a German friend of mine called in. He sat next to me, and I explained I was watching the Rovers. He watched it for a few minutes and then said, "is this really Rovers? But I thought they played in a proper stadium!"......and he wasn't joking!

We need to do something similar to Walsall have done with their Tile Choice stand. Even one huge decent stand all the way along the East side would be a big improvement. Ours was ok when we first moved here, now its shameful.

Tents might be a little embarrassing but they’re Bristol rovers all over and part of our quirkiness. Visitors who don’t have to endure our awful facilities on w regular basis often find it quirky and endearing.
Often our biggest criticism from away fans is the open ended terracing which has the ability to silence away fans whose clubs are on top form - like the Wigan fans on Tuesday last week.
Remember that this should only be a stop gap until more permanent solutions can be found and might even be the enabler for a more permanent redevelopment of the South or West end, or a new stadium altogether.
I would expect at the very least though this points to the east end NOT being the starting point of any redevelopment.

Have to say this has been one of the funniest threads I've read in a while!
I suppose all you can do is laugh as our tent city expands. I just hope security is tight next season as the damage just one hooligan and a stanly knife could do to our ground is pretty scary.

And a season or two ago a stray shot took a drainpipe out and almost clonked some away fans. You could take the south stand apart with a Stanley knife and a few footballs😀

How many different stands can you fit round a football pitch? Were going for the record it seems :-)

We're so crap and I love it.
We've always been this way. It's just how it is.
It just won't be the same when Wael takes us into the stratosphere.
