I'm sure it could be handled fairly easily at Temple Meads. Home fans in the Wetherspoons side entrance, away in the main one. Segregate the walk to their different platforms and only allow one set of fans in the tunnel at a time based on train departures..it's not very dignified, but that's the fault of the aging thugs who can't grow up and act like normal human beings, not the authorities.
Anyway, it's all academic, because it ain't happening lads. © Yatton.

And then imagine us in tbe Championship (maybe) and home and away fans decending onto Temple Meads at 5pm. So we should let the one time the police made a mistake dictate the entire future of Bristol Rovers, even though 99.5% of games are absolutely fine? How do other clubs do it? I didn't say that, I said it would dictate whether I went or not, not just because of potential trouble but because of the hassle of trying to get a return train at a packed station. |

Not all talk with these chaps. Actually delivering what they promised. 'On Tuesday, Wrexham hosted Notts County - the league leaders - and they snatched all three points with a 2-1 win to close the gap. Wrexham remain three points behind but have two games in hand on the Magpies at the top of the National League.' 'The crucial victory was still watched by an attendance of 9,807, which was technically a sell-out considering the alterations taking place around the Racecourse. The ground’s traditional capacity is around 10,000 but the new stand will see that boosted to 15,500 on matchdays.'  |

If we ever get a stadium at FM i for one will not be going to it. i'm sure a lot of people with mobility issues will feell the same. i will become an ifollow arm chair supporter |

What that entails in reality we'll have to see. |

They will supply the minimium requirement which is not many. currently a 10 year wait at the mem for one... i know this because we applied 10 years ago and still don't have one. I also see Marvins road tax playing a big part at any new stadium at FM being a big issue as well £10 on ifollow or £9 road tax plus parking fees, go figure |

They have taken a pragmatic approach and identified what needs doing and got on and done it.They haven't wasted decades on fantasy stadium plans. They've shown the fans the respect they deserve and will be giving them a stadium that will engender some pride in the club |

It is so frustrating when you see all these other builds going on. Oxford on about a new stadium, recent stand development at Exeter/Plymouth etc. Even my local tier 8 club has managed to refurb a stand complete with new seating. Why are we so held back and never have any development. I don't ever recall us building anything since the main stand at Eastville and what year was that (and I don't count the tents). A new stadium is quite clearly not going to happen any time soon so let's just get a decent stand built on the east side of the mem. The years go by and nothing improves.

Totally understand.Devon and Exeter league(club linesman standard) have new builds at Beer ,Lyme Regis etc and where I used to live Eccleshall in Staffs,they have a lovely new main stand.Average crowds of 120 but covered seated accom too now behind the goal.Surely we can do better than the South Tent after over 21 years.Morpeth in the NE where we visit, major ground improvements taking place but we simply stagnate.At the first home match every season I look around wistfully wondering what I will be looking at in 12 months time but nothing ever changes. When the UWE was planned a support group arranged for a Web Cam to be installed so we could watch the progress.Fantasy stuff and the other Bristol club must be laughing. I don't understand how all these other clubs can fund these developments and we can't. It's not just about having nice facilities. It's to encourage new fan base and hence revenues. It might take 5 years to recoup what we would pay out on a new stand but a new stadium is at least 5-10 years away if it was announced today. If we don't do something I don't see how we are viable as a club unless Wael keeps dipping his hands in his pockets. |

Would love to know what JB thinks about the situation.DC was clearly frustrated over it and we've had a few managers since he left.
I'll be at Vale tonight and they too have major ground improvements in the pipeline.
Many years ago the Radio Stoke commentary team remarked that at our ground,'Nothing Matched' and said the stand where the players changed was 'like a Cricket Pavilion.'

I have occasions where my mobility is an issue. Not missed an away game due to this but have missed home games. Where is the evidence that the FM wouldn't cater for those that need assistance. |

It’s awful now with rat runs packed |

I wonder how much the owners and club will get and how much Disney keep. With their following and money, they were always going to get things done if they wanted too. They will make a lot of the money back, with their following. |

Where are we going wrong regards a new stadium or a Mem refurb......every other club except us in some respect either improve current set ups to build new Stadia.
I started watching the Gas in 1979 and in those 43 years not one brick has been laid.
