Owner talking with forked tongue possibly. People who can think outside the box will possibly realise 2 + 2 in the world of Bristol rovers football club has a high possibly of equalling 5.

The reality with the East Stand is 1 + 2 = 1.
It will not be a structure that you can see from outer space. Try and keep it real ppl.

Some posters seem to have got it into their heads that we're getting a new East Stand, even though the owner has categorically stated the present stand is just going to be extended. The owner even went as far as saying some of the terracing would remain. When you ask posters for any evidence that a new stand will be built they don't even bother to reply. Even the terracing wasn’t particularly clear - from what he was saying for all we know it could be safe standing in the redeveloped areas which isn’t quite the same. |

I could understand him bigging it up and saying we're going to build a super duper new stand but then ending up keeping the existing one with extensions, because we have become accustomed to stadium disappointments, but for the life of me I cannot think why he would say we're going to patch up the existing monstrosity and then deliver something marvellous and brand new. |

Aghast you missed my observation totally. As the song goes " all we hear is radio gaga radio lala" but in the grand scheme of most of us it doesn't really matter as it's Bristol rovers football club and we accept and actually expect incompetence. But utg obviously

Going to be additions aka south stand either side, can t make a silk purse out of a sow's ear 😂
With the west stand how it is never going to be an aesthetically attractive ground, need it to be functional and a fortress, intimidating to away teams.

Too many people post stupid rumours and gossip.
99.9% of this is rubbish.
Be good if they stopped but it won't happen

I would suggest that Fratton park is the model we will follow.
They have kept existing terrace and built the seating deck ontop.
Pompey have a good atmosphere at their ground and they no longer have standing areas.

Pompey have a good atmosphere at their ground and they no longer have standing areas. Plenty of other clubs we could take some inspiration from as well. AFC Wimbledon for simplicity putting bums on seats at a low initial cost but with the ability to easily upgrade as and when required. Brentford for cramming as much as they could (both match and non-matchday) into a small space. Also interesting to look at somewhere like York to see what they've got generating non-matchday revenue. I assume Rovers will not copy anyone directly and forge our own path - whether that's for the best or not remains to be seen... |

All three have stadiums that home and away fans love for different reasons, none broke the bank and all are living within their means with a decent stadium for matchdays and a decent income the other 300-odd days of the year... |

The current East stand would be hard to renovate. At best I'd hope for extensions at each end where access is gained from a concourse as per south stand. Not sure you can change access of current east stand so stuck with that. Potentially raise the terrace a bit so the seats/terrace have a smooth angle between pitch and back of East stand. Similar to - cough - the Dolman at the other place.

Pretty certain Brentford's new stadium would have broken our bank if we'd built it ourselves, as it seems very similar to the proposed UWE stadium. The cost to build it as today's prices is an excess of £100m. Wimbledon got lucky with selling their changing ground to Chelsea and York City's is a community stadium, which probably means it got decent backing from the local council, smiler to Oxford's proposed new ground. |

Until we've seen the plans for the East Stand not really sure anybody can comment one way or the other, I sense most were surprised by the South Stand plans, if the new owners can deliver a 16,000+ capacity stadium they will have shown more ambition than any other owners have managed. As far as Stockport do they really have a fan base/catchment area to fill a 18,000 capacity stadium even if it's ever finished, it wasn't that long ago they went into Admin. |

This image (posted above) looks like the proposed plan for Stockport County's Edgeley Park stadium. From: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-68564001Stockport County has outlined proposals to boost capacity at Edgeley Park by about 7,000 seats to host 18,000 fans. The League Two side, which is currently vying for promotion, has asked supporters for feedback on the plan to renovate the stadium, built in 1891. Club chairman Ken Knott said the aim was to create a "first-rate home". Ultimately, we want to ensure that the stadium matches our level of ambition, he added, with the Hatters targeting promotion to the Championship as a long-term ambition. |
