IN RESPONSE TO A QUESTION ABOUT POTENTIAL DELAYS IN THE PLANNING PROCESS FOR THE PROPOSED NEW STAND. David Bright replied,: "We’ve started the conversations and we have good people working on it for us, we hope to be able to keep pace on the project." Well we've heard that before. We've employed more stadium consultants than I can count. Now I realise it won't be 4,000. It'll be announced as 2,500, then 1,750, then it won't happen after all. Or talks with the planners could have already suggested that they will approve a 4,000 capacity stand as BCC wants to keep Rovers in Bristol. |

If all goes to plan I can see it being the same design and size as Clement Foot (French Ligue 2 sides) stand (roughly 3,300 capacity) - will post a picture when I can.... Clermont is my local city. They are in the french ligue 1 now playing with the big boys. Very odd ground with one large stand but still the ground has a capacity of around 12000. |

The two properties that were owned by the club along with the land behind were 18 and 20 and looking at the works that have recently taken place on those properties it really does look like they have been sold. Well they would have been, wouldn't they, because redevelopment of the Mem is a non-starter. Doh! They think it's all over......... |

Great selection of cuttings gasman.Do get disheartened when people say ,'We have to be patient'.Was told that 50 years ago and at 77 I recall all the above stories so my patience has been exhausted.

I see the Fruit Market appears to have been one of three potential sites identified for a stadium back in 2002. Slow progress! |

Just think in one more year we will be laughing about that new South Stand that was promised. Oh how we were taken in by that!

Presumably our stadium planners are knocking relentlessly on the doors of BCC planners and temporary football stand construction teams to ensure all is designed, agreed and approved before we build the thing once the season ends in just over two months' time.
Tight timescales, to say the least.

Tight timescales, to say the least. The club's probably waiting to ensure we're definitely a L1 side next season before spending money submitting the plans on the planning portal? |

Surely we have a firm of architectures dealing with the project not just a Rovers employee?

Maybe it’s different for commercial but it’s like £250. I sincerely hope we’re not that stingy when it comes to something important like this. |
