OK fair enough.
Platform one went bankrupt, and is now Trinity Hotel. This scores a 2 star on Trip advisor, so maybe not the best of hotels.
I suspect that most business that require a "good" hotel, will put clients in town, and taxi them there.
If Rovers do acquire a hotel, it will either fulfill the B & B market (contractors) or nothing IMO. You simply cannot plonk decent hotels in terrible areas and expect them to be successful, whatever buisness may be in the area. A 10 min taxi ride from town is not really a big deal.

Rovers won't build or acquire a hotel. A commercial partner might, I suppose, if they thought it a viable business proposition. The people who make that decision will, I imagine, have to sit in very boring meetings considering bullet points (if it even gets that far), exactly the sort of thing that people come on here for a moments respite from.

There you go again making a fool of yourself in an attempt of oneupmanship. I never said all, I said most (and later had to clarify that it was most i'd spoken to because some people like to take everything literally when it suits). The fact you've capitalised the very word that I didn't use makes it even funnier.
FTR, I have no desire to further cover the ground that was exhaustively covered yesterday, so has anyone got any pictures of the North Stand?

I think that the building excitement on here over a five star Marriot forming part of the new South Stand at rovers probably deserved some comment though.
I cannot be bothered to trawl back, but pretty sure this came from the red and white side of the fence as a starter for 10

Do you actually have a point? Or are you just spending your time on our board because you're too embarrassed to show your face on your own, after making a =#FF0000Edit-AS-BEHAVE!!!!! of yourself over chocolate fireguards being racist?

No pal, you trying to make out that I've said something I haven't is embarrassing for you so you've resorted to type with the name calling and bringing up something that was sorted last week.

| A hotel with conference tat, green renewable power related tat and some sort of community sports facility will obviously look good on any EU related begging letter. Any hotel within the South Stand development would probably end up pretty pointless to Rovers but if it means finishing the south end, then clearly it's something we/board have to try.

Wynn would be a bigger draw, he'd build a pyramid with hot lava flowing out of the top with a roller coaster round the outside and an inverted bungee rope through the lava.
Not forgetting the Ferrari dealer in the basement charging £25 to get in

Got an imagination has that Wynn bloke.
I was having a beer at his gaff in Vegas next to what I thought was a serene lake. Next thing I know, a 10ft tall blue head popped out of the water, followed by a huge frog. Mental.

The government are backing it! Wowser, I knew previously that they obviously were not backing a major investment in the country. This is a monumental opportunity for a new road to CP. Get it built!

| We need at least 10 storeys to block out those hurricane force winds that come from that dock end. Without that, being sat in that north end in february, march time will not be a nice experience.
