pongo88 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 In case you’ve forgotten today is the 38th anniversary of when Rovers south stand burnt down at Eastville. It was a wooden structure and was about to be condemned as it didn’t meet safety standards. As a result of the fire Rovers received an insurance payout. Some people, at the time, claimed that the fire was started deliberately to get this money though, of course, I couldn’t say that. One result of the fire was that their trophy room was destroyed and all their trophies lost.

If memory serves the manager at the time was Don Megson and when he asked about whether any cups had been destroyed the fire service said not to worry as the fire hadn't reached the canteen. Later that season the trophy room was burgled and the entire contents were stolen. Police later apprehended two men who were in possession of 20 square yards of blue carpet.

They will be amazed at seeing an all seater stadium with four stands, yes FOUR stands, that's not a cricket pavillion, half a stand, a few tents, a selection of white plastic garden furniture and a few odius looking garden sheds that they're used to. They'll be expecting the Queen and other dignitaries to be introduced to the players beforehand and of course Her Highness will be presenting the Watney Cup afterwards. The reality is however, for Championship teams, is that this is a cramped little stadium that's been left behind by most clubs at this level. It's still incredible that they advise that you can't see the touch line thinking that as long as they've told the long suffering away fans then its alright.

Decent view of Mrs Jones’ back garden though.” “I probably need to learn to lower my expectations but I was expecting a cantilever roof like all new stands at virtually every other football club in the country.” Edited August 20, 2018 by Unan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we the only professional club in England with a worse stadium than we had 60 years ago"? That quote is brilliant. Can feel their pain They seem to have replaced the ‘stand’ that they took down with one almost identical from what I understand. If they are baffled we don’t have a hope of understanding!

Whereas I read "33 seater" and thought he was hiring a new stand for the club! 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 This whole thread sums it all up. Compare where we thought we might be when the owners took over, and look at where we are now. Debating metal vs canvas roofs, some being happy with a bit of painted plywood, losing all our best players and signing cast-offs and risks, treading water at best in L1 with no real prospect of promotion, no news from the owners, no new stadium, no training ground, no plans for the future, a real risk of losing DC, season ticket sales down, prices up, attendances down, Not quite what some of us had hoped for in those early days. If the rest of you are happy with where we are now, then you must be easily pleased. My opinion, or whine, is that you are deluding yourselves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
