The irony is, I have wardrobe being delivered from them today and will be lost in instructions just like that later ?

On behalf of everyone here on OTIB, I wish you all the best of luck at this difficult time.

As regards the stand, that picture of castors could be a good idea. Rovers could wheel the stand into place for each game.

With the season kicking off soon, have they started to build their stand, is it going to be ready for the first game?

Are away tickets on sale yet for it?

Its confidential so we can't say & anyway, these things take time. Look at my lovely watch. Unless you're talking about the East Stand or the Matthew Harding Stand where he's already got his season tickets.

Someone has been busy sending e-mails - that's an awful lot of comments to land in a single update. Are the submissions processed in real time or does someone have to accept them before they're lodged?

Had to go to Horfield for work today. I noticed a few hundred yards from filton Ave on muller rd , someone has depicted a wildlife scene on a long garden wall . It’s a very nice piece of art to be fair . I don’t think it will last though as part of the way through it is a very large robin . How long before that gets defaced. 

I can hear them now as they pass the wildlife scene.

'I bet that was painted by some Gurt Ted coz they know we's cumin for em'.

I sort of stopped looking at the objections as they are all quite commonly based on the family club not consulting with the residents, so I've been enjoying those entries supporting the new stand.

Glad to see my objection is still there.?

You’re not the dog walker who goes on about more horse punching and the now homeless tits scaring the newts away? 

Got to go some to beat the planning application for a ‘thatched roof’ on one of the classic, balconied Georgian terraced houses in Clifton in giving planning staff a laugh, but good effort.

Reading through most of those them seem genuine, and no surprise it sums up their scummy nature as a club in general at the minute of just going ahead with this without any of the houses or neighbourhood area having any idea. Going for broke on and off the pitch. Will end badly. Excited for it

Wouldn't it go up to that with the new stand ?

Interesting to read one reply saying that the Squatters held a meeting, because they had to , on a week day during working hours. Clever ploy to limit the amount of objectors that could turn up.

I find it hilarious their argument for getting a temporary stand is “well it has a 12k capacity before so it shouldn’t need planning permission”. Ashton gate had 43k in the past does that mean we can add an extra 15k to it without any planning permission? No it doesn’t, you expect a small minority of fans from all teams to not have a grasp on reality but it seems higher with that lot. 
 

I was recently down the pub with a gas head mate and after a few pints the nonsense started coming out (from a usually sound mind) claims of “the only thing city have over rovers is the stadium” “tilson isn’t their record signing” apparently they broke that record at some point since 2000. “Wael has money, but doesn’t want to waste it and spends it wisely. They’re not in hardly any debt as Wael does what lansdown does and coverts it to shares”. “They’re building the club up behind the scenes and will be in the championship soon” and finally once they get “their” new stadium what are city gonna do then as rovers will be equal and challenging them. I asked about the free stadium and the response was, it’s all made up be jealous city fans and the sale of the cabbage patch with Waels millions will they will self fund the stadium.

I know quite a few gas heads and they’re all reasonable people who, think normally until it comes to rovers then it all comes crashing down. It’s unbelievable. 
 

worked with one not so long ago that claimed, because they fill their dump more often than we sell out Ashton Gate then they have more fans than us. It actually hurt my brain when she spoke those words. I wasn’t surprised though as by the sounds of it her dad is right up there with believing every single piece of nonsense they make up.

Maybe just remind the deluded Sag that they may sell out their little ground once or twice a season (big deal!) but we haven’t had an attendance for a League game since they joined the Football League in 2015 lower than their capacity.

If we played at the Mem we would have sold out every single game.

That answers who has the most fans and who’s fans are more loyal.

Apparently taken today. Looks like they've got the internal walls up. ?

 

image.thumb.png.a662c60a7b7ebc7768fbda787d5932f4.png

If I was a resident behind that end I'd be encouraging the stand to go up for 2 reasons:

1. I'd be worried about my windows getting hit with a ball when they try to shoot 

2. To hide the monstrosity of the rest of that dump.

In all seriousness, the reason the sags arent worried about it is because it's all in hand. 

This little beauty is on order, and can be delivered by August 8th - that's if I order now. They'll have had this ordered weeks ago. Don't panic Captain Mainwaring.

I remember one of them saying we didn't need a bigger stadium during the redevelopment as we were 'only getting 13,000 a game'.

The fact that 2 of the stands had been demolished and we were at capacity was lost on them.

The same scummy club who also decided to change history when trying to sell it to a supermarket by saying it was only the gates that was a memorial to the fallen people of Bristol from the first World War. The whole ground was donated in memory. The clue's in the name.

It's a fact that seems to get lost on most people.

The gates are the vocal point of the ground because of the remembrance Sunday service and the fact some of our "fans" thought it would be funny to graffiti the gates.

Not one of our finest moments if so, was it ever proved it was some of our fans that did it?

Don't think it was ever proven. The Rovers statement at the time referred to persons purporting to be City supporters. Despite proof either way fairplay to City for quickly bringing in a specialist contractor to clean them up. Probably ended up looking better than they did before the incident.

Nobody connected with the gash seems worried because it will apparently only take a week to put up.

Once built it will surely need some kind of safety inspection/certificate won't it? Does anybody know?

Imagine how low one's expectations must be when you can be smug that a new stand will only take 1 week to build  & fit out..!

Surely it will take longer than a week to decorate, put up required signage & install all the concessions facilities..?

Have they even got a dodgy sky box ordered to be able to stream Babestation to the masses yet..?

As far as I'm aware, the actual build (which I'm assuming must be some kind of modular, click together type solution) doesn't actually take very long atall - it's all the dressing of the new structure that takes time & then, as many have already said - test events & getting the safety certificates issued...

If it only takes a week or 2, then why not have had it done already.?!

I've seen these stands in action for cricket. At Taunton, the stand is on existing tarmac parking. At Bristol, on grass with temporary matting just in case of rain. To plonk a stand on bare mud would be a interesting proposition. Maybe the shop restocking is introducing the new Gas boot cleaning kits.

I think it was, and the supporters club rallied round cleaned it and implemented a collection for charity if I recall

I'm no expert, plus a tad cynical , but maybe it was deliberate.

They had the necessary public meeting midweek during working hours apparently.
They held off planning application until the last minute.
They started clearing the site before any consent had been granted.
They seem to be going ahead before the Planning application has been heard.

I wonder if they are trying to pressure the Powers that be into green lighting it all . 
Add the delay for SAG checks it does look odd. They will blame everyone else if they don't get the go ahead, and the fans (or most of them and the Post ) will lap it up with one flash of a nice watch.

I'd even forgotten to mention the planning situation.!

In my opinion (& not just this project, but anyone just carrying on with work before being granted the appropriate planning) should automatically have it rejected.

It's taking the Mickey to just build what you want & then bother getting the clearance for doing so - when everyone else wants until it's granted to begin work.

It was mentioned in this thread many pages ago, that the groundworks etc were completed

But do agree with you that closer pictures make it look a right mess

And, presumably, there’s no question of them getting a safety certificate until the planning consent has been granted. And any/all provisions complied with. ?

I saw an article recently , though not the same interesting. Developers demolished a Pub without permission.

Screenshot2023-07-28at11_19_09.png.9583bf4627fb2a3b9760e01fce3c2f46.png

To go ahead without permission would seen arrogant at best. I know some do get a jump on things, I've seen enough Grand Design programs to know that. But they are houses that haven't had dozens of complaints. 
 

Some on here may know the answer to this;
What would/could happen if they built it and the planning office wanted time to consider the complaints ?
Would they be allowed to get the safety side signed off ? 
Would they be allowed to use the Stand ?
Or would the entire area be off limits until planning and safety has been passed ?

I'm sure someone will know.
