When is that Atyeo Stand getting redeveloped?

It's an OCD nightmare that the lettering is not central to the goal.

There's houses behind which means nothing can happen yet, unless of course the club manage to buy out all the houses which they have been rumoured to be doing. I don't want the Atyeo redeveloped anyway, 27,000 is plenty for us. Although I appreciate you'd like those chairs re-fitted at least

When we have Villa trying to dismantle our Gil Merrick Stand, it’s infuriating that we have still not replaced the broken seats with blue

The new Ashton Gate is looking good though.

Look where you would have been visiting (Imagine a lower tier built and 11,000 seats). Unfortunately, a great stadium is only a great stadium if the team are any good and the Manager isn't a lower league Manager. I'm sure we'll be back at some point for another visit.
To fellow reds, the West stand is already starting to make the South stand look a bit shite and we know how good the South stand is!

Slightly different view of the stand, liked the south stand generally although took ages to get out of

What a great picture (from Tomarse). No excuses for away fans to get lost now!

Is the bridge visible from inside Ashton Gate?

From the back of the South stand it is, yes.

Aye, I sit in the back row of the South Stand, and it looks bloody excellent when it's lit up on a night match in the backdrop. You'll be able to get an even better view of it from the top of the Williams.

Yeah, can't wait to be back in the Williams TBH.

Being picky after watching the BC/WBA match last night and seeing this picture, is this stand not completed fully? There are the support beams for the roof on show whereas the fancy new stand to the right the roof is covered on the bottom. I noticed it on the telly and thought it looked a bit unfinished.

 

[hodge]

Not sure what the plan with the roof of the south stand is tbh, however the stand to the right isn't actually new its just been refurbished, pretty sure the support beams in the Dolman haven't been showing in the roof as long as I've been going (although I've never really noticed).

 

[Ciderup]

The only support beams on show now are for the new 'join' between the South stand and the West stand (installed last week) unless you mean the new bit between the new West stand and the Atyeo which has only just been put up. As for the covering, that is there to protect the supporters in that side of the South stand as there was a sheer drop at the end until the last few days. All this will be removed at some point.
Even though it's ours, we have had nothing but complimentary comments thus far and it is going to look the dogs gonads when its finished. Judging by what the builders are doing now, the steel work for the lower tier is going in so the externals should be pretty much finished soon (apart from roof cladding and seats) giving the ground a more complete look.

View from the back of the 'biggun'...

It seems a long way back to me.

 

[BCFC Jordan]

Pitch is being moved closer to the stand.

I like that view.

 

[hodge]

Is the pitch being made wider or is the touch line going to move away from the dolman a bit to provide some more space that side?

 

[Techno Natch]

I think City already have one of the bigger pitches so I assume its being moved across. Looks great!

How long is it before someone complains that they can't see the view of Bristol over the back of the Ateyo from the back few rows?

Some people are only happy when they're moaning JJ!

I suppose it spoils your view from Abergavenny too...

It's this attitude that holds Bristol back.

I was only being silly Hodge. It's such a Bristol thing to complain about. Ridiculous tbh and the sort of attitude which holds our city back as V mentions.

'It's the wrong colour'??
Only in bloody Bristol could some no mark moan about something passing planning permission AFTER it's built.
I love my home City but there aren't half some arseholes living here.
