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"
 

 

So, no need for a new stadium then. They will have a capacity that more than covers their long term average attendances and a makeshift stand with a concrete alleyway behind it which is absolutely no different to what modern stadiums can offer like derby, mk dons and Coventry…..wael has cracked it

I don’t think they’ve realised that the ‘concourse’ will be predominantly for away fans…. 
 

They will still be stood in the pissing rain eating stale crisps and drinking flat Fanta. 
 

And looking at the empty site they have, is there enough room to have concessions in a concourse style? What with the stand being overhead, you think the first half would be unusable, then a concession stall and then about a 3m covered area for the fans to gather…

Getting ready for the greyhounds

Not limited to greyhounds. You can walk any mutt on that turnip patch. No need to clear up either judging by the lack of dog bins and the amount of 5hit that appears regularly on a Saturday.

But if locals exercise their dogs there, then no development of the land can be made (as per Ashton Vale).

I don't think that's all fair YDTD!

The Fanta is fizzy, it's just out of date...

Have they had their planning application acknowledged yet?

No, but they don't need it to built it

They can get it retrospectively, or get it refused and that would be entertaining

I think it will be just as entertaining when/if it is up, as it will be generally cheap and pretty poor to anyone outside of their bubble. The concourse will be quality to see, as I get the impression they are expecting to see a proper concourse (since quite a few go to Ashton Gate for the Rugby, Concerts and been down for their Vaccines) I cannot wait for their reports, I just have a niggling feeling they be just a little bit disappointed. 

Bring it on.

Yep, It'll be interesting to see what their definition is of a "Concourse".

Given their excellent disabled sections, I'm guessing it'll be a hole under the seats of the stand with 1 or 2 portacabins selling food/drink. Hardly a concourse as such.

Also what about the toilets in this stand? That would take time to build/get the plumbing done (probably by asking for volunteers again). I'm guessing the portaloos will be making a reappearance on the hurry up, but how many are they going to need for a stand that supposedly carries around 3-4k? Plus by law, they would have to have disabled facilities as well.

Still just over 2 months until the start of the season, no rush Rovers, in your own time, absolutely clueless. 

As it stands how many balls are they going to lose into the back of people's gardens there? Probably put up a large net to protect it all. This is going to look absolutely awful come August.

I don't have a problem (in theory) with them building a new stand, my issue is that on a match-day, parking locally is a nightmare - it's bad enough without a game on, but with a game it's a bigger challenge. If they are expecting to expand capacity by 25%, that could - in theory, increase the match-day-parking-nightmare by a similar percentage. I'd expect that any planning would come with a condition of increase/improved parking and bus related options, to deter people from driving.

Not a chance they will be increasing capacity by 25%

After they had to lower their capacity I would assume this change will just bring them back up to where they used to be?

Jolly Joey explains why their ‘star boy ‘ didn’t get picked for Wales.

‘At Portman Road, they wouldn’t put the line through because it’s not such a big jump from this atmosphere to international football’

It’s to do with playing in front of big crowds. This is why Low got into the squad, massive crowds at Walsall and the HPC.

Rovers in a nutshell

The amount of fans that believe that a new ground will solve all of their problems is staggering.

They think they've got 20-30k of fans waiting in the wings who are going to come flooding back to watch them. Totally and utterly deluded.

The reality is that they'd end up in a soulless bowl which always looks empty and lacks atmosphere. 

They're skint and don't have a pot to piss in. A freebie new stadium won't undo years of dying a slow and painful death.

Given it'll have seats and a non canvas roof they'll probably refer to it as the 'nice end'

So Joey admits they create a crap atmosphere in a crap ground in front of a small audience.

Looks like Joey's back on the drink and bored out of his mind judging by his twitter interactions. 

Does any other professional football manager act as childishly as this guy? And those 6 fingers freaks all lap it up 

So weird. 

Well speaking to quite a few gasheads on the weekend they were saying hes a c*** and they can't stand him.

What I will say is out of the gas I know, once you get the first few minutes banter out the way they are normally pretty level headed. A few of them fancy us for promotion ??

A mate of mine thinks everything he says is excellent, edgy etc and always tells it as it is. I can guarantee I will hear the words of "you'll struggle this season and be in for a relegation fight, and we will probably be top 6", I hear the same every single season with no irony whatsoever.  A few others are a bit more "honest" shall we say, but hardly any of them go and watch them.

I have a few gas mates that can be separated into season ticket holders and go to the occasional game.

The season ticket holders think he's the second coming of Christ that he will get them above us and that he speaks the truth and says it as it is.

The go to occasional gamers can't stand him, thinks he's talking bollocks most of the time, don't understand why he loans in so many players and think we should be doing better than we are.

Due to having someone ITK at the Bristol City Planning Department.

I have managed to get a photo of the stand that is being built (assembled) at the Swamp. It's quite impressive compared to the former effort and you can clearly see the space underneath for the much lauded 'Concourse'.

I remember Tommy Doch equalising then Wendy Toms missing one of the most obvious offsides against us to lose the game in injury time, I have never known an away end so enraged as that afternoon

This could carry on…

Most loyal fans in the World but rarely sell out their tiny stadium

Much better away support than City but average lower away than us every season

Unique and original in every way but have stolen (or had given to them by others) their kit, ‘anthem’, nickname and stadium

Loved and respected around the World but nobody gives a shit about them outside a few areas in North and East Bristol

The self proclaimed ‘Peoples’ club of Bristol that most actual Bristolians avoid like the plague.

Invaded the Wycombe pitch breaking hoardings in the process whilst proclaiming to the world that the Gas were staying up, only to be relegated out of the football league the very next week by a player wearing a Rovers away strip.

Self proclaimed ‘family club’ who attack horses, their own stewards, have been rapped on the knuckles for racism, headbutt windows, punch opposing players in the back of a net, had the most football banning orders in the country in 2014. What sort of a family club is it then? The ******* Kray family?

6th richest club that begged their retired supporters who were tradespeople to come and help upgrade their shithole for free.
