I'm loving this thread. Got the lot. Drama (queens), bad language and hardly any relevance to the original point. This is what we want during the long hot summer.

Thinking of supporting the planning application.
PLEASE.
Read the documents provided in the application submitted by the club.
THEN.
Comment from a position of some knowledge.

Pretty pointless..............or worse.

They are already submitting carefully worded objection letters, meanwhile Rovers fans are submitting letters in support which are either poorly written or contain incorrect info, like this latest one: "The application is to put a new screen in a position similar to the previous screen except this time the back of the screen is shielded from the residents by the new stand structure. I see no reason not to approve what is essentially a normal facility in a modern stadium." |

It's typical of most of the statements in support. |

This objection statement is odd "The newly built stands already stand out having been painted a blue - that doesn't even match the clubs brand colours."Am I missing something? |

No one has asked the obvious question - Will the supporting platform be an open framework or will it cover the existing roof ? If the supporting platform covers the entire roof of the south west stand why do we need the existing roof ? And indeed the existing roof supports that block peoples view ? Will it be possible to create the supporting platform without any pillars at the front of the stand ? Sadly doing things piecemeal must add to cost as there seems to be a lot of duplication in the support platform and the the stand roof structure.

Can't see any reason to build a roof over the roof so I guess it will be a skeletal structure above the existing roof, mounted to the top of the existing supports. |

Would be a big power move to put a roof over a roof while the East Terrace continues to get soaked. Hope it happens. Gas af. |

Chewbacca af 😜 Not even a dig at the club. I'd just find a screen having a roof while the folk looking at it get soaked really very funny. |

Looks like it covers not far off of the boundary. I guess the drawing could be wrong but would mean a number of other supports going in and would very much be over the existing roof. It also shows a camera position so would assume there will be some stair access to the platform. Although it doesn't show this. |

Once in they will take any access away.
It'll be a 1970/80s TV. The nearest ball boy/girl will have a big stick with large comedy hand attached to hit the top or side of TV when it goes wrong

It's ridiculous really.
Why on earth would the screen not be allowed. It is filling in a gap between two stands and is no higher on the skyline than either.
If there is going to be difficulties installing a screen, can only imagine the fuss any work on the west stand might cause.

This objection statement is odd "The newly built stands already stand out having been painted a blue - that doesn't even match the clubs brand colours."Am I missing something? The club obviously did that thing of going to B&Q, and asking them to mix some cheap paints to colour match the shade on the Farrow and Ball chart. Massive fail. |

The club obviously did that thing of going to B&Q, and asking them to mix some cheap paints to colour match the shade on the Farrow and Ball chart. Massive fail. Given we change the shade of blue every few years it's going to be difficult to keep the south stand colours up to date. Just as long as it doesn't resemble the East Stand. I've looked at its faded weird blue denim/turquoise hue many times without ever wondering what colour it actually is. But now I'm wondering: - what actual colour is the East stand? - what colour was it when new? - what colour was it actually meant to be? Presumably Bristol Rugby darkish blue but of course nothing like that in reality. |
