I never knew it was so high up compared to surrounding area. How were there ever any draining issues?

the heavy rain washed a load of shit down the drains and blocked them, so much so they didnt have enough shit left to make up a full team

Isnt their plan to build a stand as big as the Atyeo? 

This is a point, relevant I think, to the planning application. I didn't realise the ground over looked nearby property so much either, never having been there. If the ground was in a dip, raising the roof height would be less likely to cause complaint by the neighbours, but if the new roof height affected the sky line then they can't just assume that planning permission is a given. Maybe that is why they are in constant touch with the council, to avoid refusal and delays.

I am guessing that the new stand will move a lot nearer the goal so that the roof line will be at a lower angle relative to nearby houses.

Normally, a lot of work on computers would be undertaken to calculate angles between properties to ensure any potential loss of light is calculated and design adjusted to ensure ‘acceptable levels’. Additionally, detailed analysis would normally be done to ensure anybody new development is not  ‘overbearing’ on neighbouring properties.

An alternative approach, to quote myself at a public inquiry ‘this development was designed on the back of a fag packet, the only problem being they didn’t even manage that’. 

Wonder which design method has been adopted for The Sags Cow Shed?

It’ll be a random bloke just “keeping his hand in”, shielding his eyes from the sun and sighing “it’ll be reet”.

It may come as a surprise, but this is a football stadium for a league one club...

Can't wait to watch the highlights next season, just to see their goalkeeper climbing that tree to retrieve the ball..

Just seen they’ve announced a new deal for someone who’s hardly played for the last few years due to injury.

Would say that’s not exactly a great sign that they’re confident in bringing in what they want….given Barton says they aren’t “running a charity” then give a new deal to someone who didn’t kick a ball last season!

He will be lucky if that happens, without anything to stop it he could be chasing the ball as it bounces down Muller Road, possibly rolling to a halt at.................IKEA.

Do you think they've considered how, many years ago, the raised level platform which forms the Memorial Ground was created ?

Is the terra firma sub-structure suitable for the load bearing pillars needed if an "Atyeo" sized grandstand is to be constructed ?

Think I’ve sussed it now.

The stand will be two-tiered due to ground stability issues. The lower tier, the expensive tickets, subterranean viewing their  ‘Championship ready’ sprinkler system. The upper tier, above ground, the cheap tickets with a view of a pillar, with ‘pillar and pitch glimpses’ for the lowest priced. That explanation would seem to fit nicely with their ‘pre-school child’ stand graphic and increased capacity claims.

Any spectators in the stand may get a sinking feeling, but they’ll be used to it after watching Rovers

In other news they think they have sold 500 out of 740 season tickets in the corner of a new stand that is yet to get planning permission. I can't see that here will be any problems at all in doing that.

Forget 'Row M' this stand might not have a Row A, or B, or C.....

My sister has finally got her hands on her first allotment this year at a brand new site.

Last night she sent me some photos of their progress so far and as you are probably guessing there is an uncanny similarity with the photos above. She has free admission at the barrier. There were some delays with planning permission apparently...... I assume the bean canes and tomato plants are just out of shot at the Mem.

Fortunately she doesn't have any drainage problems and her sprinklers are Championship ready.

Why do they need that? We were assured just a few years ago, when Rovers became 6th richest club in the land, that they were going to buy Ashton Gate.

As a few years have passed….what caused the row between the Lamb and the Billy one Xmas? 

No idea, I was in the King Billy last week. Think it's days are numbered now the tesco metro has fallen through in the garden. Was dead in there

Keep up. Ashton Gate isn’t big enough for a team that’s bigger than Norwich. 

I do believe they actually said they were going to buy AG and use it as their training ground.

It makes you wonder why they`re still using a fox shit covered field with some portacabins on it up Cribbs. These things do take time though.................

That’s the Gas got a nice away trip to Carlisle, hopefully on a cold wet winter’s night.

Great away day on a weekend and stay in Newcastle, I was up there when JET got a perfect hat-trick which must have been about 10-12 years ago.

Pubs round that way seem to go through spells. When I was 18 the Crown used to be absolutely packed on weekends, and whenever there was a big game on telly - The Dolphin by comparison would be dead.  5ish years later and that had completely swapped around. 
 

The Barrs Court Inn used to be really lively too, and then just wasn’t.

This guy gets it - the only reason (if any) that they need extra capacity is large away followings coming from much bigger clubs.

Worryingly for the Gas, his post implies that should Derby, Portsmouth and...I guess Bolton(?) be promoted then the Wael Stand (as I assume it will be named) will forever stay empty, it's existence signalled only by the paltry echoes of the foreign hoards that once promised to fill it.

This specimen needn't worry, they'll just reduce their capacity to 8,000 and "sell out" every match.

Rovers in a nutshell.

"What's the definition of luxury? If the south stand has a concourse that's out of the elements then that's pretty standard for a modern ground.
Oxford, Derby all the same really. Coventry, just more space. MK Dons, just bigger concourse and a good view. A temporary stand that does the same as those listed, I'll take that"
