SDBS36 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 They will get the same amount of support from me as they gave us over av, childish I known, but the sheer eruption of ecstasy, gloating sneering and name calling from their fan base when av went pear shaped was truly nauseating and I for one will neverf forget it ! of course now they've got their own problems it's, " football fans should unite against the green, our new stadium is desperately needed by the city of Bristol ( ours wasn't of course ) out of 5 major local sporting clubs, bath rfc, Bristol rfc, Gloucestershire ccc Somerset ccc, and Bristol rovers afc, four of them publicaly supported our plans for a new stadium, guess which club did not ? now some gas heads have even got the nerve to claim that anybody who cares about Bristol sport must back their application ! the sheer nerve of this nasty hypocritical club and their nasty hypocritical fans never ceases to amaze me ! hope they loose the judgement and go bust ! which is exactly what the vast majority of them would wish for us !

timothy bird Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Gas heads now moaning on about a tiny minority of selfish people ruining it for the majority ! these are the same people who lauded the av 22 as heroes, and vociferously defended their " Democratic right " to thrawt our plans, as always from the family club, total and utter hypocrisy !

Cider red Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I for one am hoping they get the stadium. If it means we can both eventually be challenging for and in the championship and beyond, its time for Bristol football to get into the 21st century. Am I right in thinking the JR period for the original plans is over with next week? If so could be a massive week for Bristol football on the whole!

Rich Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Let's also not forget that a solicitor based in Queen Square who acts for BRFC, actually made FOI requests in order to give any help he could to those opposing AV. Whether that was an individual act or he was acting for BRFC is not known. The gas friendly Post tried to integrate them into the WC/ stadium support, by printing statements by former gas staff and supporters. BRFC were against AV because they'd have been leaft behind, so did their utmost to hinder it. So I'm with Tim on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What it says for you as a Bristol resident is another point, bt you can have you r point heard at local elections - that don't mean you have to fight on the Rovers' behalf.

When he says he'll announce his decision next thursday, it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be mulling it over until then, as some of the blue bunch seem to have presumed. Judges are very busy people with full diaries. I'd think it much more sensible to assume that he's already come to a decision, just needs to find a bit of time to write it up and a suitable gap in his diary to be able to announce it...ie next thursday at 2pm.

Assuming the judge goes in the Council's favour then the big question is: will he allow TRASH the right to go to the Court of Appeal? If he does allow an appeal, I fancy TRASH will take it and that is just as bad news for Roverzzz as it means further delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BS3 GAS Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 One of the main bits of TRASH's claim was about a 12% Loss of custom for Co OP Ltd .... so much for caring about the independent traders but possibly a big clue as to where the funding has come from so far... it sounded like a ... and now a word from our sponsors...

Manon Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Yeah I have a feeling they would take any option for appeal as well. Be hard for the dog to let go of the bone when so much has already been invested in it and as we already know from our own experience things are never set in stone. They might have questions to answer from the traders and residents who had already donated if they didn't. On the other hand an appeal would likely coincide with the local elections, so the likes of Radice might not be willing to risk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've come this far though and I'm sure they'd take it further. Their arguments look weak to me though, really wouldn't surprise me if it was a failed case, no right to appeal and you have to pay the Council's costs! Then they'd be stuffed.

Gazred Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 agreed... no complaints from TESCO in the application where as co-op objected....im a lot more confident than i have ever been ... the appeal has to find a problem with the JR judges decsion... effectively fighting 2 decsions ... the original planning and the JR outcome... im sure they will appeal if they have funds... its there way Obviously us lot on here are all to aware of how this process works. They will surely appeal, as late in the day as they can without it looking too deliberate. They will know its pretty much a lost cause, but if it can delay things for a tad longer it increases the chance of derailing the project or at least increasing the cost. No idea what time lines your working with, but just say the appeal would push the start of the works over until sometime during next season, what if you get relegated before then? Building a new multi-million pound stadium is unlikely to be a high priority. For the record, i think the location and size of your new stadium is spot on, really sensible place to have it. However, having spent the majority of my life living in the area around Glos Rd, never in a million years is there a need there for a another huge supermarket there and certainly not a the cost of a war memorial.

Well thats one of the great things about the scheme: the Memorial will actually be enhanced with a Memorial Square and garden, will still be used for the Armistace Day ceremonies, and be seen and respected by many, many more Bristolians than at a crumbling old sports stadium that Bristol Rugby will no longer play at after this season. Their plans have been designed with consultancy from, and the support of, the British Legion and Bristol Rugby ex-Players Society (who wrote actively in support of the application to the BCC Planning Committee). So a much better Memorial for the great fallen of the city than before. Much better than one had the Greens got their way and flattened it and put housing or allotments on across the whole site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
