Bristol Rovers new ground

[public school boy]

Double the estimate to get closer to the total cost.

Great news for their long suffering fans.

They're very much a similar sized club to us and have a long standing fan base who will come back, just like ours has.

Always seemed good opposition (despite a certain Goldstone game) and I've seen Albion a few times at Eastville but don't recall seeing us losing there.

You this ? Yep been there.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBkEdBCppk0

Good for them but shame its another Bowl

A first look inside Bristol Rovers' new £40m stadium | This is Bristol

As supposed to what? A plate shaped stadium? I'd like to see you design something more innovative.

Done. I remember hoping to watch a game at Eastville as a young lad. Now IKEA I think

To be fair, it is essentially the same as our stadium, a shallow bowl, just without the added west/east tiers. Am I right in thinking that the bottom bowl in the Amex seats around 20,000?

I accept your opinion, but my opinion was based on reading the Rovers forum, not sure which bit is 'complete garbage' as you say. Even walking around Newhaven and Seaford i see BHA shirts worn by kids but as i said i didnt see any football shirts worn which surprised me. Any way i am not an expert and only fans of the Bristol clubs could confirm any facts about rivalry.

I hope you havn't got a soft spot for City and i have upset you by signing the petition!!

Oh its a rivalry alright, very passionate, but it isn't a daily issue its something that crops up mostly only when the teams are in the same division........they actually coexist.....I signed both petitions....but have a soft spot for Rovers.

I think I was reading the Rovers forum in the build up to the JPT match, it came across as real hatred, but thinking about it I don't believe everything I read on here!

I think Bristol is a top place to visit, very interesting city.

Done

Good luck Rovers never liked City !!!!! especially after the way a lot of their fans behaved after the Play Off Final ****ing idiots !!!

Just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has signed this.
I am actually overwhelmed by the amount of support on here! Especially seeing the other thread and how many people have signed there also. I'm guessing being in a similar (but a hell lot longer) situation with your stadium problems that you know what a pain in the backside some NIMBYs can be!

In response to sharing a stadium with the c*ty, I can't see this happening especially that the rugby club would have to play there too, trying to work out the fixtures would be manic!

If anyone wants to know more info on the stadium the other thread has a much more well thought out post (i've never been too great with words!):

And here's the petition if anyone else would be amazing and sign:

Thank you very much in advance, think I will now always have a big soft spot for brighton!
