New south / south west stand

At the heart of it the Greens are anti capitalist which plays out in a capitalist society as anti progress. When Sainsburys applied for PP at the Mem I was heavily involved and worked with the Sainsburys planning team to try and get it over the line. I spoke numerous times to the Greens on Gloucester Road when they were out getting signatures to try and block PP being granted. To the public they used a variety of reasons, but when I debated those issues with them they conceded that they were anti capitalist and didn’t want a large chain store being built. They went as far as to tell me it was a coordinated national effort to derail developments that didn’t conform to their ideologies. So Greens from other parts of the country would help disrupt things in Bristol and they would help disrupt things in other areas of the country. A very dangerous group who pretend to be about the environment but will stop progress regardless of whether the majority feel it’s beneficial.

Loving the national Green conspiracies on here. All as one party has ACTUALLY screwed the country over the past 13 years.

Back to the stand. Gets some photos on here.

A tick in that box from me CG.

Puerto de Soller is fantastic. Also if you want tranquility, Deià up on the North-East is great.

Not to derail this into another political conversation but there is a difference. One is acting out of ideology and the other is acting to run society and the country. the greens have never really been in charge of anything. They are a party of protest and pretty much always oppose anything that others would call development. Name one development the Greens have actually been in favour of and supported?

and I agree with the original post. I know a green party member and they are ideologically opposed to the motor car. Aside from the pollution they see that resources should be shared and public transport being the only option. A communist view.

Fortunately the greens will never get any real power but they will have the power to play the system and frustrate and obstruct.

"the other is acting to run society and the country"

So the Tory's have just been objectively doing the best they can to run society without any other motivation?' But the Greens are ideologically driven? Sure the Greens are ideologically in favour of say nationalising water industries but then all other parties are ideologically in favour of keeping them in private hands. They also have no reason - ideological or otherwise  - to oppose the construction of a small stand at Rovers in principle.

Also other parties are ideologically pro car and pro car industry. London is a city in which most people travel by public transport and is not communist it just decided to do things differently.

Anyway only important point to this thread is that all parties are ideological and people's personal politics (and ideology) is massively over politicising what is actually just a logistical and procedural shambles. 

A lot of Rovers supporters, many on this forum, remember the extreme (and some would say unethical) steps that local Green Party activists took to derail the club's last attempt to develop a new ground (and in turn the current site). There was a lot more to it than this, but the short version was that local Green Party councillors and their Green party activists formed a limited company to hide the funding that allowed them to launch a Judicial Review that was effectively laughed out of court - all to stop a development they didn't like but one that had already passed every other planning hurdle. Whilst the Judicial Review failed, the costs and delays incurred meant the plan had to be abandoned and whilst the club survived it risked the financial future of the club all to meet the Green's ideological ideas...

Radice (who was my local councillor at the time) failed to respond to my very polite emails and social media posts about what she was doing and why she was doing it, leaving me effectively unrepresented as a local resident. Hardly an acceptable way for an elected representative to behave....

...so the long and the short of it is that whilst a week is a long time in politics, it will take a lot of Bristol Rovers supporters a *very* long time to forget, let alone forgive what the local Green Party did to our club....

That is exactly my feelings towards the green party supergas very well summed up. All parties are as bad as each other but the greens seem to have a unhealthy hatred of anything we try to do at the mem. Edwards tweets on the re submission of plans using the words * sigh * don't feel me with confidence that she won't call it in again. If she does call it in again I don't think even the most ardent of green supporter could defend her actions as representing her local constituents.

All of a certain "vintage" maybe. 😁🇪🇸

think all you need to know about the greens is they are preaching hypocrites
