When are the left wing BCC lets put our Sh*head shirts on cos "we hate Rovers" Planning Department expected to consider the application ? Apologies as breaking a rule of mine and going to be overly rude. You really are full of sh**. You never answer when it is correctly pointed out to you that BCC have never refused a Rovers planning application. Did a nasty leftie f**k your wife/husband/cat or something? I believe this obsession with the BCC being anti Rovers comes from an episode many years ago. A Rovers delegation attended a meeting for the decision on the Severside Stadium development, when the application was turned down a certain councillor was seen wearing a City shirt & smirking at the outcome, so you can see why older Rovers fans may still be a little suspicious. But like previous posters have mentioned, since we been back at the Mem, every Rovers planning application has been approved. |

Always thought Severnside was a failed partnership, not a Council refusal. Siston Common was outside Bristol boundaries. |

Rovers never applied for pp for Severnside, ICI simply lost interest when it became clear to them that Rovers couldn't afford to finance the new stadium.

Severnside never got to the planning stage, the environment agency scuppered the plans before there was even a chance of an artists impression. |

The land was owned by Redrow and the company set up to pursue the project was a joint one with Bristol City. Steve Lansdown was the first to put money into the companies bank account so with him on board money wouldn't have been an issue. It fell over at the first hurdle because Redrow wanted to build homes on the adjoining land to the stadium in exchange for the stadium land. The environment agency stepped in as it was a designated floodplain and the negotiations ended. If you look at the site now you will see that the commercial development went ahead where the huge Amazon warehouse is. If you visit Companies House and look up SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE ARENAS LIMITED you will find the names of the directors including ones from Rovers, City and very surprisingly one of the old Eastville Stadium directors who now owns Torquay United. |

That's how I remember it being reported. Also worth noting - and the clue is in the name of the company - the proposal was for a development in South Gloucestershire. Nothing to do with BCC. |

Despite the company name, the land is within BS11 which was inside the Bristol boundary. |

Does anybody know if it is definitely being moved? Not sure any major work can really start until we get pp, just in case there are any unforeseen issues with planning. The screen is a busted flush, I think Tom said on Twitter that the new stand will come along as far as where the old screen is currently situated. I guess there are plans to incorporate a new screen somewhere within the new structure. They have finally worked out a way to build over or replace all these mysterious cables and pipes that prevented us extending the south stand for twenty years. Fabulous! |

Q1 for me: How many blocks will be avilable, maybe 2 closest to the SW stand, the rest left flexible for bigger away following
Q2: Anyone thinking of moving their ticket? And if so, were you a previous south stand ticket holder before last season or new?
Q3: I hope we dont need to answer "what if PP not given?"

I'd hope that the gangways have some small handrail/low fence that doubles up as segregation. Pride park had this meaning not too many seats were lost to segregation. If this stand is as big as we hope it would be ideal not to lose 100s as a neutral zone |
