Bristol Rovers want to triple the size of the South Stand to accommodate around 4,000 supporters, club head of sales David Bright has revealed.
CEO Tom Gorringe outlined Rovers’ wish to replace the South and South West stand with a singular, permanent structure in his programme notes for the League One fixture with Ipswich Town, with plans first made public in the board meeting minutes that were published earlier this month, removing all the ground’s tented structures before the start of the 2023/24 campaign.
In an interview with the Stadium Business Summit, Bright has offered further detail on what that project will entail. In a Twitter exchange with fans, Bright also declared that once 3D mapping of the section of the ground has been carried out further information will be shared with fans and there is optimism the work can be completed in time.
