UWE Seek Permission To Build 15,000 Stadium

Vital Gas understand that UWE have spoken to South Gloucestershire Council about building their own Stadium on their land.

Its understood that UWE have spoken about downsizing the plans to make it a 15,000 stadium instead of the 21,700 that Rovers hoped to build, but they will have scope to expand the stadium at a later date. Its not clear if UWE have spoken to Rovers yet, but its a possibility that Rovers will be asked to become tenants if the Council approve.

Just yesterday Rovers were give permission to appeal the High Court ruling that allowed Sainsbury’s to pull out of a deal to buy the club’s Memorial Stadium.
