    Outline application for BC Stand redevelopment also approved (reportedly, as the live stream has crashed).

    From the accounts of the meeting the moaning rowers didn’t take up too much time, they said they hadn’t been consulted. It’s the councillors currently moaning like fuck about parking, traffic and noise. They keep asking questions that have already been answered and are in the documents, if they’d bothered to have a look. Apparently the lady representing Forest is doing a great job of presenting the application and remaining calm and professional to fucking morons.

    Representing the whiny gripes of their noisiest constituents, rather than the actual benefit of the area they are supposed to be acting in the interests of,

    So, if I've understood correctly, we can't begin any building until we've addressed the safe movement of several thousand additional fans, which seemingly requires the building of a new bridge. Is that right?

    That's kind of my take too. Though the answer doesn't have to be a new bridge.

    This is why I'm not very optimistic that yesterday's meeting has really made any progress. A new bridge is surely a huge undertaking given where it'll need to be located.

    The new foot bridge nearby took about 6 years to sort from what I've read

    I hope we still stay the course with this though and don't use this to push for a new site miles out again

    Trebuchet.

    Tunnel.

    Teleportation.

    The three tees.

    I don't get why the idea of closing one lane of Trent Bridge for an hour after the game has seemingly been abandoned.

    I thought the new bridge was for the second part. But only because they seemed to say that the first stage had full planning permission.

    Is that for any of the project to start or before the BC stand expansion can start?

    I’m not sure a new bridge has to be a barrier in terms of cash, Would an extra (reported) £20m would derail a near £800m project? It’s just the time to get it through that could be ridiculous.

    If we're going to try and do a bridge this is surely the location and land ....

    I don't know - that was really what I was trying to clarify. You're absolutely right regarding the potential time.
