Tinmans Love Child Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 1 hour ago, Merrick's Marvels said: I strongly suspect the Mayor will just wave this through retrospectively. The new stand won't increase their capacity by so much that parking/amenities will be adversely affected, surely? And although it's a bigger tent than the one its replacing, I don't think it will impact the houses behind that much - and I'm not sure that's even still a thing these days, "right to light" being a thing of the past (I think). Re: right to light no longer being a thing, does that mean we could build a bigger stand to replace the Atyeo? I always thought the issue was right to light?

Kid in the Riot Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 3 hours ago, Former Pirate said: The one positive is that I know someone in the planning department of BCC and it definitely has been submitted. Not sure on exact date though and their portal is abysmal for updating things. Either way they aren’t getting approval this side of September absolute best case. There's a 6-8 month delay in allocating planning applications to officers at BCC at the moment. I suspect Rovers will try and bully their way through the system by starting building and then pleading with the council that they can jump the queue as it would be urgent. It's a very unprofessional and risky way of going about doing things, but consistent with Rovers under Wael. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have saw the tweets from the alleged sister of the alleged victim and they’re not great reading. One implies he punched her head from behind unprovoked and repeatedly, knocked her to the ground and carried on and also spat at her. Some more digging reveals she’s said that there is footage and he also attacked police on the scene. So there’s footage out there and also tweets with a version of what happened from someone allegedly related to the alleged victim yet some of our moronic idiots are defending it, playing it down and some even saying well lucky us cos we’ve got a good player out of it when we wouldn’t have otherwise!!! Even if this is false if the club have done their due diligence they would have found this and waited until the trial!! I thought Joey and his nonsense was the final straw but the way gas fans have reacted is completely embarrassing and I don’t think I could ever go to the same stadium full of so many people with so little morals even after Joeys gone. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every club has scumbag supporters. There are posters on Gaschat who are clearly very unhappy about this signing and the reputation Rovers are getting and are not afraid to make themselves unpopular voicing their objections. I respect that. Incredible to see that other posters who are not so well known are immediately branded ‘shitheads’ stirring the pot as if having morals is something that’s alien to a lot of the posters on there.

The successful overturning of prosecutions by football supporters' groups receive very little publicity outside of football forums. Most football fans will also fall into some other voting demographic to which a politician or party can direct policies to win that vote. Very few football fans will solely vote by considering a party's football focused policies. Most, if not all, will care about the NHS, immigration, education, the economy etc. Therefore there's no need to develop football specific policies, or to particularly care about football fans as a distinct part of the big venn diagram of voters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
