Bristol Rovers have revised their plans to redevelop their Memorial Ground home, scrapping their 18 month stay in Cheltenham as a result.
The redevelopment will now go ahead in stages, rather than as a single project, allowing them to remain in the stadium during the works. The playing surface will be moved once the first phase of work is complete, but no set timetable for the works to be done has yet been issued with the plans still to get the necessary funding through the anciliary building of student accomodation and a hotel.
Cheltenham have issued a statement saying the loss of revenue from the cancelled agreement with Bristol Rovers will not affect their current plans, while the Pirates expect to reveal details on how the project will be funded in January.
Meanwhile the Robins are to finally take Leeds man Ian Westlake on loan after another loanee, James Wesolowski, was diagnosed with a leg fracture and would miss four months. Westlake is the ninth loanee at the club, but Wesolowski is now expected to return to parent club Leicester.
