Definitely looks like netting, I noticed it at the last home game on the section of the SW stand when the roof was going up on it. There is netting there, in front of the solid green section I am referring to

Are you talking about the green tinge in the corner section. If so the section with roof on now was also green in a previous post but isn't now. this bit

Interesting that the FM or the Bristol Live article did not get a mention on last nights "Having A Gas". Normally they would be all over a story like that......

Pretty sure it’s just safety netting. Agree, safety netting for the roof shelters. If you clip the picture and zoom in, you will see it is not netting but solid

The green bit looks solid rather than netting

Hey all, some peak Gas the last few weeks - so we've had a go at dissecting the apathy as usual! In this episode, Neno & Max discuss the fallout from the final days of Rovers' summer transfer window, the 1-1 draw in The Gas' last game against Lincoln City, and the news that talks over the proposed Fruit Market Stadium are on the verge of collapse. Strap yourselves in! Click to listenA good listen, thank you... I think the phrase you were looking for when comparing Ted Bundy's story to the happenings at the Gas is "Far Fetched"

I thought the Mem redevelopment (The one under Higgs and not the earlier one under Geoff Dunford) collapsed because of the financial crash in 2008? UWE started going pear shaped when Sainsbury’s decided on a change of strategy and pulled out of buying the Mem. The FM may also fail because of uncertain economic circumstances? That was my understanding too from memory the appetite was no longer there for student flats due to the crashing economy. It just seems we take so bloody long to get these projects started that the world changes and leaves us behind. I've always been for a new stadium elsewhere but if this latest pipe dream fails then I don't want another drawn out saga resulting in fu*k all to show for it and want to just redevelop the mem whatever that may mean. I'm getting too old and sick of these futile attempts at progressing this club. In program Aug 2009 GD said the Revamp was due to start in the autumn of 2009, it didn't obviously and I cannot find any updates on the revamp after that. The UWE was announced in June 2011 so between these times it was decided the revamp would stop, agreements made with the UWE and Sainsbury's and plans were drawn up. My memory is getting a bit dodgy but I am convinced NH said the stadium revamp was stopped in favour of the UWE

If that is the case then we really are cursed arnt we. From memory the rebuild of the mem collapsed due to the financial crisis then the Sainsbury's purchase of the mem due to another financial crisis then the fruit market due to COVID delaying resulting in the impending financial crisis. 🤦 It does feel we are a bit jinxed by changing circumstances and why I’m becoming cynical that a new build working with third parties (UWE and wider FM development) which have so many moving parts and variables make the odds on a successful outcome being poor. I’ve never been a fan of the Mem being developed but realistically I suspect it’s going to fast become our only option - hopefully our owners can make the numbers work. As I recall, the revamp of the Mem was stopped in favour of the UWE and no other reason than that but I may be wrong

I wasn't at all surprised by tonight's result. We have done really well against 3rd world countries in the last 10 years....

Closest we got was the 2011 revamp of the Mem and the UWE (both getting planning permission)... UWE just pips it for me

TBH I never believed in the FM site and didn't want it.
My heart broke when the UWE stadium was binned by Wael and I will be happy seeing out my days at the Mem.
Maybe 10 - 15 years worth if I am lucky.

Actually I'll have what your having. This does sound a good shout , what with the pp problems meaning you keep what you have until pp is granted , not pull the damn thing down and hope. Just not sure if the funds are available for ( eventualy) 4 permanent structures
The Dunfords original idea was to redevelop the ground stand by stand. bristolroversmemorabilia.weebly.com/the-mem-redevelopment.htmlThanks for sharing that
