Many across the UK in the last few days have managed to escape the “Beast from the East” but unfortunately Bristol Rovers&apos; Memorial Stadium can’t say the same.
The club announced earlier that there has been a large extent of damage to the kitchen area within the Poplar Stand.
It is thought to have burst fifteen water pipes that are situated above the kitchen and has therefore caused large amounts of flooding in the offices.
The club is currently working hard to dry the place out and have assured fans that the kitchen will be fully operational for Saturday’s game against Northampton, albeit under a temporary roof.
That said anybody that has booked a hospitality day will be served hot food, but some toilets within the area will be unavailable, and temporary ones are being installed to cover the issue over the next few days.
Fortunately all other areas of the stadium remain undamaged as procedures are now underway through the use of maintenance staff and contractors to get it back to normal.
