All I know is that I spoke to the site manager this morning. He said that work had been put on hold as there was no planning permission in place for the extension. When I was last there 3 weeks ago they didnt have the final design drawings at that point. I supose its possible that the drawings could have failed building regs. Either way, work is definitely on hold.

Is that someone being thrown out

It's me, sorry about that, I did a massive =#FF0000Edited-RW at the opening in "Yeamo (more like dope-o) Yeamo's" shoes.

Building regs is probably true.
Infact Neil Hudgell mantioned the fact in a previous set of program notes.
But let us not forget that the previous extension was also held up over reg changes.

Defecation then.

Eh?

You're not (quite correctly in your position I suppose, somebody has to think of the children) liking my circumvention of the naughty word filter, so I proffered an alternative.

Fair enough.
My confusion revolved around you quoting the wrong post though

Well, it [uhas[/u only been 3 years in the planning. These things can't be rushed. I take it everything's still on track for the ground to be "unrecognisable" by the end of June? I will nominate pmh to be the independent arbiter of this statement as it's unlikely he'll actually attend a game before the date this statement is enacted, ie 2 July, with his convenient prior commitments to basket-weaving and CAMRA Royston Vasey weekends. As a consequence he will miss the construction phase of the East and clearance for the North. The test will therefore be whether he passes the apparently technically complex development known locally as the CP Deathstar, disorientated because the ground is just, well, unrecognisable.

Oh no!

Rovers in "not proper permission/paperwork" shocker

You seriously want to go down that road?


I'll save you a lot of aggro mate and remind folks that this is about the hold up on the east stand extension.

What a fabulous talent you have for being [icompletely rubbish all the time![/i

League of your own Keisuke, league of your own.

Update on whats going on.

Turns out that the original design for the east stand extension didnt include any disabled areas. Obviously this was turned down. Rovers then said that they would build 2 more dug out type things at pitch level, this was rejected because it discriminated against the disabled in that it is their human right to be able to have the same atmosphere/experience as able bodied supporters, so the area had to be in the stand. Rovers then said that they would put double the disabled areas in the proposed North stand, this was also rejected.
So the plans were then re-drawn and submitted for Building Regs approval, but the Council Offices were closed for Easter. Predicted to be another month before the site is back open.

The North Stand is due to be awarded to a contractor in early June, with work due to start sometime in July.

Cheers

Thanks for the update Alfie.

So Rovers are discriminating against the disabled now? Whatever next? Making the next replica shirts out of skinned puppies and children's tears?

Evil bunch!

You couldn't make it up. It almost makes you wonder if Rovers 'super fan' and council chum [url=http://bizabilityuk.com/golf.pdfPhil Webbo[/url helped them draw up the originals... He's back in office again, unbelievably.

We have to do this, we thought we'd have a go at being Super Cheats, but we were rubbish at that.



Christ, a discriminatory councillor that not only is into golf but runs a golf club!

Beyond the pale

Whatever happened to Phil Webbo, does he not post on here anymore?

re-elected as a councillor, I believe - possibly not easily compatable with mucking about on here.

Too busy to post on here as he's been re cataloguing his Pringle jumper collection.

Ah ok, he probably spends his days playing golf instead.

Christ I go to Tenerife for 2 weeks and everything goes over tit. Mason debacle now this I need to get home quick before I find PMH has been appointed on field announcer!

I couldn't be worse than the current incumbent if I turned up smacked off my t1ts on crack every week.

Surely thats when you turn up smacked off your t1ts not if you turn up smacked off them?
