In theory you would thinks so. reality who knows. Ultimately we will get PP eventually, but the whole thing has been a farce from start to finish in their rush to build it in the first place Just learning a few lessons before we put in the planning application for the East stand extensions. Fixed that for you |

Ultimately we will get PP eventually, but the whole thing has been a farce from start to finish in their rush to build it in the first place I’m going to reserve judgement on whether it’s farcical until bums are on South Stand seats and we can look at how we’ve got from point A (knowing we were going to be in League one and needing extra capacity) to point B (when it’s fully open). If at the end of the day we’ve moved from A to B in a decent timeframe then what does “all the noise in between” really matter?Building anything in Bristol, especially where Greens are so prevalent, was never going to be seamless even if we’d done everything we needed to do in an impeccable manner. What does decent time frame mean. given we were told it would be ready for the start of the season (even though anyone with no knowledge could see that was going to be a stretch). All the problems stem from lack of consultation in the first place, because they wanted to get it built ASAP and we are currently building it without planning permission It will get built, a few neighbours might be upset but we will move on. Just hpe the club actually learn some lessons for if we try to do anything else at the mem or anywhere else |

Joint stadium near Hicks Gate? 😃 There were plans for a stadium at hicks gate years ago can't remember who suggested it tho Back in the '90's, I worked with somone who was into Ice Hockey. He told me that the main promoter of the sport, John Nike I think, had plans for a stadium at Hicks Gate. It was a bit speculative, and it was said that his plans usually came good. This has aged well.  |

So we go again ....... let's hope they get this planning submission right.
If it goes in within the next 2 weeks were probably looking at around Jan feb time before it even gets looked at then arnt we. I said to my mates that stand won't be open this season and I still stand by that.

I’m normally one to stand up for the club but this whole farce has been utterly shambolic. |

What a complete and utter clusterf*ck. I drove from the Midlands to the club shop to choose and pay for my season ticket seat in the new stand. I chose what I thought would be a central seat but they weren’t sure as they had no detailed plan of the completed stand. I paid up at the discounted early price. We then have the planning issues and the Green obstruction and I now get an eticket to stand on the west terrace. At my age I shouldn’t have to stand for hours and I am not comfortable.
Will now be requesting a complete refund.

The planning application is still on the Bristol city Council website as 'pending consideration' and we have heard nothing from the club. Until there is concrete evidence of the planning application being withdrawn then I will take the 'neighbours' reported comments with a pinch of salt. Surely the best thing to do is get the present plans approved and then make another application for changes. At least then we can get the south stand finished and earning revenue for the club.

Resubmitting PP doesn't feel embarrassing or shambolic to me at all fsr.
Fairly normal for changes to be made after initial submission and consultation requirements.
The impact on supporters and the random drip feeding of info is mildly annoying g though. Then when it is magnified and blown put of proportion here, its even worse!😖

How much money have we/will we lose compared to keeping the tents for another season whilst we sorted out PP properly in the first place |
