As we’re aware, Bristol City Council isn’t widely renowned for their swift decision-making...

There is also a possibility that the application might be subject to review by a planning committee, especially if concerns are raised by residents in Horfield.

So thats a ground ban, as opposed to the normal dug out ban where managers have to sit in the stands. Must have been a pretty sustained verbal attack on the officials. The officiating is poor at the best of times and all managers/coaches have their moments, but this bloke has a problem in controlling himself.

Swede Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 All I've seen so far of this "new stand" is just an "artist's impression" or for want of a better word, sketch [like on the back of a fag packet]. To submit that for planning you would need detailed dimensional plans for the structure. I'm thinking of drainage, toilet facilities and whether this blocks anyone's light or impacts on the residents behind the goal area. I also walk my dog along the back of it early in the morning to see the frogs and toads that cross the area and early evening to see the bats that fly around and nest there.

Gas had played there mid week, but didn't take enough for the bank to be opened. Had "Deafy" on our coach. Won 3-2 with one of our goals scored when he was having a pee. He thought we had drawn until someone bought the pink un in Brum. That may have been the game we played there after the original match was called off around 1/2 hour before kick off. I went on one of the 3 supporters coach for the rearranged game, which managed to crash into each other on the M5. Believe it or not, we got ourselves off the motorway and flagged down a coach to see if he could help us. One well known rovers fand 'happened' to have a large amount of cash on him and got us a coach and 2 buses to take us the rest of the way. there was another crash on the M6 and we didn't get to Springfield park until half time and they initially refused to let us in. |they relented and we, obviously, got dicked 3-0 or 3-1.

Open End Numb Legs Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 That's the media for you though. Promotion chasing Rovers were 'impressive', finishing down in 17th. Relegation threatened City 'underperformed' but finished higher in 14th. I won't bother mentioning the different divisions as it is all relative. The way it has been covered across the season is a larger scale version of a match where commentators take an angle on the game, usually based on league position rather than what is happening in front of them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's been this way for a long time now. Anything City related tends to be on the negative - we "fail" they "miss out", they're "edged out by a strong side" whereas we are "beaten by a below par side" etc. I'm sure that this is part of the reason that their fans are so deluded, and some of ours are perpetually disappointed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to me he was a fantastic servant to the club but his time came to and end. If he's still living and settled in Bristol you would want to get a local club (although Cheltenham or forest green would be better options with much better stadiums). Agreed, at some point most footballers will put down roots somewhere, if that is the case here then good luck to him and his family. Good choice of area! No problem with him at Rovers if that happened, if he can prolong a career then go for it, many don't get that chance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly couldn't give a **** if he went to the gash. I'd just feel bad for him that it's ended that way If anything I still think he has more to give than going to a club who finished 17th, or whatever it was, in division 3 (whether that be gash or anyone else) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRoss Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Just a lazy written article. Trying to create parallels of two separate transfers. One where we pinch their inform striker at the time activating his release clause and a player who served us well but we paid up his contract mid season and he's played elsewhere for the remainder. If it works for Chris good on him. Just shows the difference in levels if they do decide to snap him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
