Anyone nearby that can provide photos that would be great! Might check eBay later to see if brfc have any listings under “”tents and seating” Following Attwoolls to see if they have any 2nd hand deals going |

Does the new stand mean we will lose the record for going the longest without building a new permanent structure at any of our grounds in the football league? Remember the North Stand going up at Eastville in the 50's.Perhaps we only build when there's a Coronation? |

Rovers didn't even build that as by then Eastville was owned by the stadium company, the last stand the club built at its own ground was the South Stand in 1924! |

Would the family stand at Twerton count? I did say are own ground as I knew a poster would mention that stand, although it was only a small stand, no bigger than the south west stand from memory. |

Rovers (Supporters Club helped with funding) DID build the North Stand. And ran out of money, I believe, because it was planned to run the length of the pitch but instead started near the Tote End and ended rather awkwardly just over the halfway line. Still, it was a proper big stand, by the standards of the time, and the club and fans paid for it! |

It was extended to the front after the 73/74 promotion season reducing the terracing on the North Enclosure. |

Business take out loan instead of blowing its capital. Not the biggest of shocks, Not really a talking point is it. Where is the surprise in this?
