Bristol Rovers chairman Geoff Dunford has largely welcomed the City Council's decision to back the redevelopment of the Memorial Stadium's Blackthorn End.

A meeting on Wednesday gave Rovers the green light to increase their 11,679 capacity by a further 1,269 seats.

Dunford told Rovers' website: "It is a giant step forward.

"However, there is a concern regarding some of the restrictions put on the planning permission - we will have further talks with councillors."
