I started watching Rovers in 1979, I'm 48 now. We will always be Ragbag Rovers, we always have been.... We have lost our MOJO while our neighbours have vastly improved, and fair play to them' they did it while we dithered and are dying!
Yes, we've had some great times but what have we really achieved? Although I don't hate the Mem it's not a proper modern football stadium. I love my Rovers so much, but with what's going on inside the club' we are dying..... Maybe if we are laid to rest we can all move on. Even supporters have been divided for a number of years. I love this club but sadly its killing my enthusiasm for this wonderful game. The club has no plan or direction Up the Gas..... 42 years gone for me and nothing to show for it in the modern game

Got it spot on there.It is so very sad that fans of many years( in my case over 60 years) are losing the faith.What is the plan? What is the direction? not even our Board seem to have any idea. Long time since we were enthused but we just drift from one game to the next.

Mixed news, hopefully just a delay. Going before the committee tomorrow, 28th October, with a recommendation that planning permission be granted.

To be fair, the local councillor who called the plan in, said neither he, nor the residents in general, had any problems with the plan in principle. The problems appear to have come from the residents feeling that complaints they had made were not dealt with in an appropriate manner. He said that most of these problems had been solved by people talking to each other and suggested some sort of football club/residents liaison set up. Not an unreasonable idea. The debate was short, no councillors objected, all voted in favour. Item 17 if you are seriously bored. South Glos IT is not the best. southglos.public-i.tv/core/portal/webcast_interactive/609258

Was that due to wrong plans in the first place,JB saying it wasn't right or what has to hiccup all been about?? The increased size of the building. To allow more people to use it. Initial plans were those that already had consent and are now built. It was deemed best to build first and then apply for additional add ons later. Dont think it has much to do with JB more the original concept of trying to get as much of the clubs various levels on the site.

Building first then getting pp for revised plans certainly wasn't the impression Wael gave at the fans Q&A! I sense somewhere along the way somebody has told Wael thatthe original plans for the rugby club were to totally unacceptable for a league football club.

It's a pretty common practice though, isn't it? Build something modest first and then apply to extend. Much easier than going for a large facility at initial planning.and the whole thing getting rejected. I'm as critical of the club as most, at least recently, but I don't think they've played this one badly at all.

How many buildings in Bristol can you name which were fully built then, within a year or so, were partially demolished and rebuilt to a new design? Given we seem to have little difficulty getting pp for the new design that I can't see we would have that hard a time getting pp before we started construction.

It's not being partially demolished and rebuilt, they are adding sections then knocking through. We did a similar thing with our house extension, it's less intrusive and meant we didn't have to move out at any stage of the build. Waiting would still have meant a delay, this way we get 80% done then add the remaining 20% when we could. Certainly makes sense to me, especially as we needed a new training facility pdq.

Bang on Ags, I’m hoping they’ll do do same at the Lagoon, a couple of slides and a spring board would be the way to go.
