Title: Rovers new stadium plans Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, June 9, 2011, 09:50:23 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-13708975
I see they haven't been overly original with their new ground. Identikit mini Leicester Ground by the looks of it. Clearly a vast improvement on the Memorial Ground but it would be nice to see a bit of innovation with new grounds.

Title: Re: Rovers new stadium plans Post by: Ardiles on Thursday, June 9, 2011, 09:56:20 Very little to get excited by there in terms of design but, as you say, the Memorial Ground has had its day. What capacity are they thinking of?

For now yes. Due to relegation apparently.

What capacity are they thinking of? 20k with a shopping complex and something related to the university.

Title: Re: Rovers new stadium plans Post by: Sippo on Thursday, June 9, 2011, 12:21:46 Fair play to 'em. They know the Mem is falling down so want to move. Ideal location to drive to, shame about the train though!
Title: Re: Rovers new stadium plans Post by: jonny72 on Thursday, June 9, 2011, 13:18:49 Still don't get why clubs near to each other are so opposed to ground sharing. Surely the benefits of ground sharing should exceed the rivalry between City and Rovers? They'd get a far better stadium for far less money.

Far too big for Rovers or Bristol Rugby. Should be looking at 15k max. Title: Re: Rovers new stadium plans Post by: Kinky Tom on Thursday, June 9, 2011, 16:57:34 they all think that if you build it they'll come - darlington, MK etc.
Cobbs for example were very wise when they built sixfields, perfect size Title: Re: Rovers new stadium plans Post by: pumbaa on Thursday, June 9, 2011, 20:29:21 Ideal location to drive to, shame about the train though! Easier to drive to from Swindon, absolutely. I don't understand your comment about the train. Parkway and Filton Abbey Wood are both 15 minutes max walking time from UWE. No fucking pubs though.....
