Brockhall STC - planning permission application ?

[JHRover]

https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/watch-the-robins-high-performance-centre-being-built/

This is Bristol City's new facility now ready for opening. 

Looks quite impressive. Also, looking at the photos of the site from the air I would guess it isn't too far off the size of the lower Brockhall site in area. 

Note however that Bristol have not got all the things we are supposedly after - indoor pitch being the biggest and most notable - but also accommodation for academy scholars - and a car park for 90 cars.

6 years in the making 🤨

That'll put us 11 years behind Brentford but it would certainly see Tony through to his retirement years.

Aye, the mighty Brentford: please remind us Tony and Waggott, when's the last time they ever won owt?

.....oh, they've never won fuck all!....let's follow that shall we?

Meanwhile, 6 times FA Cup Winners, 2 times Football League Champions, Premier League Champions, League Cup Winners and several years spent in Europe (prior to 2011) look to follow the lead of a comparative bunch of no marks?

Get fecking real: WE ARE BLACKBURN ROVERS FC, small town but bloody big history!!...do one!

Look at the possession stats and balance sheet / incomings/ outgoings over the last few years. It’s a waggott Mowbray wet dream. They don’t care about history or what’s been won. Where a little mill town remember

30k  Stadium already in place ..... tick

Ability to two thirds fill that stadium on average if product & price is right .....tick

Large training center, still better than most in this division....... tick

Academy site in and facilities & staff already producing champ standard kids........tick

Very wealthy owners who, push the right buttons, will back their managers ....... tick

now

Lets look at what Brentford have already in place that we don't, what's missing off that list ?

And football orientated structure in between instead of a squeeze what you've got glorified consultant and a part time accountant.

Just more dumbing down of the club that Jack Walker left us.

Im sure the Coventry three hate what he did here.  They obviously hate anyone with ambition for the club, - anyone who thinks we can do better than what they offer.

The thing here though is it as far as we know not down to them. It's being pitched and pushed by the present cosy little regime who won't or are very unlikely to be here in another decades time.

We are on dangerous turf here being played to other agendas yet again.

Broom needed.

He had a go at a Rovers ball girl for being honest.

He also fell flat on his face right in front of the Riverside terrace when trying to vault the pitch side wall at the front that end to get back to the TV box at half time in a live FA Cup match in the mid 80s (I can't remember whether it was Southampton or Man Utd).

The Scots had a banner (and a song) about old Jimmy.

Was it you that chucked the teddy bear at him? 🤣

Was it not either Coventry (in that shitty brown strip) or Villa?

It could have been but I had it in my head it was a ‘live on tv’ game?

This isn't a bad one...

You beat me to it. 

I sent this letter by e-mail to Lynsey Talbot at the Club today to be forwarded on to Mr. Waggott and hand delivered a hard copy to the ground where it was picked up by Security.

The place looks desolate. Shuttered up more securely than Fort Knox.

[RevidgeBlue]

Would just like to add that we intended running this in the Lancashire  Telegraph first as a paid for ad with a QR code linking to the letter but to date they don't seem inclined to run it.

What a worthless rag it is.

It was precisely because they weren't investigating this fully and impartially, or asking any of the right questions, that we felt the need to do this in the first place.

[tomphil]

Get this printed in your paper and on your website you spineless yes men.

Do your duty to the Blackburn public and Rovers fanbase instead of toeing the club/manager/owner line all the time.

Anybody would think you were just a propaganda tool for the latest names over the door.

The local newspaper wouldn’t publish the letter? 
That tells you all you need to know about their priorities.
