The smallest thing happens at City and you'll get people on here claiming that the club are an absolute shambles and that somebody needs to be held accountable. However, up north, the 15ers have managed to sell season tickets for a stand that doesn't exist, and if it ever will exist, will not be ready for several months at best, but there's barely any criticism of the club at all. Brainwashing is the word that springs to mind. Or maybe Stockholm Syndrome is more accurate... Aint that the truth. This quote from a mug on their forum sums it up in response to one of the very few people on there who dared to say the situation and the way the club have acted is embarrassing; "Not embarrassed in the slightest. Not sure why I should be. As always it’s no doubt all in hand by those that matter & the rest is a ridiculous forum frenzy born out of “I think/I reckon/I heard” They have their heads in the sands, others blaming BCC, a lot saying nothing to worry about, a couple calling out the club but being shouted down.

cityal Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 from https://www.efl.com/-more/governance/efl-rules--regulations/efl-regulations/section-5--fixtures/ Quote 35.3 Facilities for visiting supporters 35.3.1 Each Club must make provision for at least 2,000 visiting supporters at every home match or such number as represents 10% of the Club’s certified capacity, if less than 2,000. The League may, on the prior written application of a Club, suspend this Regulation or reduce the figure either for a particular League Match or for a period of time. Each Club shall, subject to any dispensations granted by the Board, make provision for at least 200 of the visiting supporters (of which not less than 100 must be seats) to be accommodated under cover. Any Club which fails to meet the requirement of 200 visiting supporters being accommodated under cover and which does not have a dispensation granted by the Board shall have such amounts as the Board shall determine (in its absolute discretion) withheld from that Club’s central distributions from the Pool Account until such time as the Club can meet the requirement. Note the part that says "The League may, on the prior written application of a Club, suspend this Regulation" - I wonder if they have done this or were hoping to do it after the first half dozen games.

If the old stand had been damaged in some way - for example a fire, or a bad storm (maybe blowing it away ) then I'm pretty sure that the league, and maybe even Barnsley would look at it sympathetically. Fact is as you say, they knocked down the old one before the planning permission had been granted. They haven't got a leg to stand on.

SecretSam Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 It's an interesting thing, a temporary stand. I was up at an open day at Brum Uni, just before the Commonwealth Games. The Uni was hosting the hockey, IIRC, and they had a huge temporary stand in place. It looked perfectly fine and was obviously OK to use. However, it had no roof, no facilities, and was pretty ugly. So it should fit right in at the Mem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Geoff Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Thought these comments from the local councillor summed it up quite succinctly. Stance: Customer made comments neither objecting to or supporting the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:I am leaving my comment neutral as although I have grave concerns about this application, I believe that if the ground cease work as they have been advised by me and others, and spend time working on their application and proper community engagement and assessments, then they may be able to have an application worth granting. Like may residents have comment, there is no objection to a larger and improved stand, but there are many serious concerns about how the club has operated so far. Removing trees without an EIA, a poorly managed and unsafe building sight. Ignored calls to stop work while the proper impact assessments are carried out, not engaging with residents properly, not having the correct persons on sight, contractors working unsafely without PPE, concrete and detritus washing down residential streets. Working at antisocial hours. And not having the correct impact assessments and consultations in place before putting in the planning application or indeed starting work. I believe the club need time to sort all of this out and do this properly, If they can get this all in order and prove that they can build a safe stand with all considerations in mind then I will be supportive. However I must currently take into consideration what I have seen, and what residents in my ward have reported to me as well as their concerns. I believe this application is going to need a lot of attention from officers to make sure it is done correctly. 6 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stance: Customer made comments neither objecting to or supporting the Planning Application Comment Reasons: Comment:I am leaving my comment neutral as although I have grave concerns about this application, I believe that if the ground cease work as they have been advised by me and others, and spend time working on their application and proper community engagement and assessments, then they may be able to have an application worth granting. Like may residents have comment, there is no objection to a larger and improved stand, but there are many serious concerns about how the club has operated so far. Removing trees without an EIA, a poorly managed and unsafe building sight. Ignored calls to stop work while the proper impact assessments are carried out, not engaging with residents properly, not having the correct persons on sight, contractors working unsafely without PPE, concrete and detritus washing down residential streets. Working at antisocial hours. And not having the correct impact assessments and consultations in place before putting in the planning application or indeed starting work. I believe the club need time to sort all of this out and do this properly, If they can get this all in order and prove that they can build a safe stand with all considerations in mind then I will be supportive. However I must currently take into consideration what I have seen, and what residents in my ward have reported to me as well as their concerns. I believe this application is going to need a lot of attention from officers to make sure it is done correctly. That is pretty brutal. I'm not saying 'no' but you have to convince me and until then, you'll be getting nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything done on the cheap and they've been called out on it this time. This could rumble on for some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
