I fell for it and the UWE project had my juices flowing for a while, now I've come to the conclusion it ain't going to happen, at least not in my lifetime.

Henbury knew that early. Perhaps the rumours about him being an insider are true?What does this S73 thing mean now? I cannot confirm or deny your comment

The trouble is that for every hurdle we jump, another is put up. We keep leaping them, and others keep popping up. I can see a few possibles - legal challenge to the planning appeal (if successful), Sainsbury's derisory offer of compensation in lieu of full payment, long-winded court case of us vs them, scaled down and altered UWE plans requiring new planning approval, revised Sainsbury's proposal of smaller store and housing requiring new planning approval before funds are released, UWE announcing alternative plans for the site due to lack of progress from BRFC. This could run for years. True, but we've come too far to give up now. βIt does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.β β Confucius 'Building a new stadium in Bristol is like watching a fish climb a tree,' - Lao Tsu.

I can never be bothered to click on links to the BEP since every time you do a load of adverts and videos and music and utter sh1te fill the entire screen making it totally impossible to read the utter sh1te you went there to read in the first place.

Yes evil post website is the worst in terms of spam adverts. Not sure anything in that article suggests they will vote against and that it is the end - if anything the labour guy stepping down suggests approval is likely and he can't support the approval but can't / won't go against the party line.
Really balanced article, not. Ask all of trash for their views, describe Radish as some sort of expert and forget to mention she is ring leader of the anti stadium campaign. The fact the labour guy has ruled himself out suggests he has done this on purpose as he will be replaced by someone who will vote for the amendment, if labour were going to vote against he would have kept his mouth shut. No mention of the planning experts view that this meets the required standards in terms of not disturbing people.

Who needs us to be negative about the chances of it happening.
Could see this coming and the political lightweights chipping in aftwr the recommendation. Me thinks a noisy meeting is on the cards

Brilliant reporting by the post, again. None of that article would make any sense unless you already knew what was going on.
Also, absolutely incredible how they describe Radice, without going into her history on the issue.

They also quote Willingham, a bloke who has no political office in Bristol, and in fact no longer lives in Bristol. Not a balanced article is it !

Could someone in the know explain whether any of the councillors mentioned in the article will have a vote. At the time of the original planning application going in, I thought the development committee (North) was made up mostly of councillors from South Bristol and vice versa, to avoid the political conflicts of interest revealed by the opinions in the Post. Has this changed?

Not one of the names in the paper will be voting next week. It will be a very strong LABOUR committee with heavyweight Helen Holland present. It will be around LABOUR 6 TORIES 3 Liberals 2 GREENS 1...
The recommendations are to approve and both Labour and the Tories have made public they support this project. However: nothing is easy is it with Bristol Rovers..

At each stage, letters of objection from people living in BS7 have far outweighed local support. So are you saying that the original application should have been declined on that basis? Not that it matters hugely, Sainsbury's have no intention of completing and it won't be built anyway.

Bamber please can you give EVIDENCE on this link that local people in BS7 outweighed local support. I understand an 'independent' poll took place and found a small % in favour. Also when local elections were held in Horfield after the vote . The Conservatives and Labour came neck and neck and the GREENS came 5th.
My understanding was TRASH played games with data and said " local objections". In closer inspection it founds lots were from Bishopston Cotham etc.. Well lots of support came from the Mead Leaze and Filwood...
Will try to find link ..
Bristol Evening Post ran a snapshot poll And the neighbourhood partnership via P.Levy Both found local support outweighed objections

They might just as well has quoted my Auntie Doris who lives in Newquay! It is not a balanced article as the Post has only quoted people from one side of the argument. Is that too complicated for you?

However, the letters of support and objection mentioned earlier are a matter of public record.

Evil Post implies today that the majority of councillors intend to vote next Wednesday against the planners recommendation to accept the proposal. Higgs will then IMO be completely *******, I guess that will also herald the end of his tenure at the helm of the good ship Box 1. Lets hope "I will get Rovers up this season" Dazzer Clarke actually delivers, or else we are well and truly knackered. UTG

UTG It implies it but as i understand it (possibly wrongly) that what the local councillors (Olly Mead definatly has) are actually doing is getting themselves out of having to vote ... their partys want a yes vote ... the individual wants a no and rather than upset his party and maybe locals they come out and say they are against it publically in advance , they then are not allowed to vote so another member of that party votes for the development instead.. Politcal party line towed and the individual can say to loacls that they werent allowed to vote!
