Yeah as rudolph explained it, the point being if you thought you might be tight on the deadline why not submit the request anyway, to then be over the deadline by less than a minute and having not bothered to request the extension is just incompetence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, boycotting the tournament because of the presence of Premier League U21 teams. Of course, it matters not that they try to loan as many Premier League U21’s as possible, so as to reduce the average age of their first team to the low 30’s. They’re playing Cheltenham who haven’t yet scored a goal this season. Let’s hope that run ends tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRoss Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Not that I have any sympathy but they do accept some rubbish from their club. Demolished a tent structure (whatever was there) didn't sort out the planning permission for a promised new stand ready for the new season. Only building a glorified bus stop and the paperwork isn't through. Their manager has self imposed a ban on local media for apparent bias conveniently after he sets up a paywall subscription to release sensitive club information i.e transfers himself. They make out they are going to break their record fee to apparently not get the admin through on time. It's a circus over there and I love it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I've read about similar with private individuals building unauthorised houses or extensions they are often ordered to tear them down. Council planning officers really don't like arrogant people who totally ignore the rules and their guidance and usually give it to them with both barrels. I think that there is a real possibility that Rovers will be ordered to tear it down with their only remaining option being to rebuild their old stand exactly as it was. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Council planning officers really don't like arrogant people who totally ignore the rules and their guidance and usually give it to them with both barrels. I think that there is a real possibility that Rovers will be ordered to tear it down with their only remaining option being to rebuild their old stand exactly as it was. I’ve said before, but I think they’ll get consent, but it will be subject to some amendments to the proposals. Which, if it’s already there, will be more than a little awkward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember those trees they cut down without permission, Greens on the council are gunning for them. If we behaved in the same way do you think that we would get away with it? I don't and I don't think that they will either. Is that “They gurt Shithead Greens?” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you'd go ahead and build, And then you tear it down when ordered at an extra cost, and then rebuild it when pp is granted, It's not the builders fault they are working as per their contract 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they had to stop until permission was / might be granted? Stinks of assumption and arrogance IMHO. It would be their best cock up ever (NLBR apart) if they had to take it down again. Are they actually still building?
