    Many people think that June and July are quiet months at football clubs but that is not the case here at Bristol Rovers.

    Not only have the club been working hard trying to strengthen the playing squad for the upcoming 2016/17 League One campaign but significant developments are also being made away from Darrell Clarke’s playing squad.

    The Memorial Stadium is undergoing a makeover.

    Rovers South Stand is going to be re-clad and completely refurbished along with an entire set of new seats.

    Along with the enhancements of the South Stand, we are delighted to announce that we will be re-introducing the South West Stand, which will hopefully increase our total capacity.

    Also it looks like our kit supplier Errea will not be our kit supplier anymore and Macron will be our kit supplier. The club have released this info early due to a gashead spotting the kits being delivered and posted a picture of the evidence on twitter...



    Rovers replied...



    For your info, Macron have supplied kits for Palace, Stoke, Villa, Lazio, Monaco, Sampdoria, Napoli and many others.

    I don't really understand how you can re-clad a tent! But I welcome the return of the south west stand - it'll give us a few more seats.

    If you are supposed to be building a new stadium, why are you updating the Mem?

    Better matchday experience
    More value for money
    Better facilities for away fans (They use the South stand too)
    The Mem is not fit for purpose so updates are needed.

    Im getting a new laptop for xmas. In the meantime I have to put up with this laptop that is old and outdated. This laptop install updates regularly. Should I not bother as I know I will get a new laptop in a few months time? Of course I do.

    UWE will be 2 years or more away so of course we need to update where and when we can <ok>
