Popular Post CodeRed Posted March 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2023 Taken from the Away fans review section of the Football Ground Guide website What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of the stadium? I have to say that Bristol Rovers have some cheek charging £25 to be under canvas and with portaloos as toilets. Disgraceful really. Horrible little ground made up of tents and a cricket pavillion with a small seated stand on one side. What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of the stadium? How has this place passed health and safety, honestly, its just a clutter of dangerous looking "stands" and tents, proper rusty and I imagine full of asbestos as well, and they have like 11 stands, what's up with that, I get character and all that but honestly what an absolute dump this place is, I have been before but about 4 years prior and I thought the away end was one of the worst in the country can't lie but now I see home fans have it just as bad. What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of the Memorial Stadium? I have to be honest and say the ground is barely Football League standard and light years away from Ashton Gate. The away facilities are terrible. What's with all the tents? 22 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodjias Wrist Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Its amazing they remain a league 1 outfit in all honesty their stadium and facilities are so out of date its scary. Even if they got a new stadium confirmed tomorrow it would take 2 seasons to be ready. Its funny when we last played them they were chanting how they got their new stadium...nearly 10 years ago now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityal Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 21 hours ago, Malago said: 19 points off 6th place. It’s not looking good for that late play off surge. So if the actual playoff candidates went on a long 100% losing streak it would take the gas half of their remaining games to catch up. Sheffield Wednesday, leading the division, have scored 2.24 pts per game over the season so far. If the gas manage that for the rest of the season they would be around 5 or 6 pts clear of the current playoff chasers. It would be almost inconceivable for them to get promoted from where they are now. I'd like to be the first to wish the gap an early happy birthday for October 2023.

The concept of a legends wall is fine, I will also accept that the likeness won't always be there as we have seen with some infamous sculptures around the world. But...but..... to paint it straight onto a block wall like that makes it look like graffiti in a multi storey car park. At least render the wall first and then protect it from the weather.
