beaverface Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 On the front sloping part of the Dolman roof, I'd like to see in massive writing........."THIS IS ASHTON GATE", or something along those lines.

WTMS Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Interesting at the moment that is still the old cladding in place which DID have flags on in the past The picture above shows clear cladding I wonder which we will get - at worst the very back can be covered with flags again Placing flags across the back barely makes the stand look distinct. Bristol Sport in other stands want imagery e.g. possible artwork to be removable which would be time consuming and impractical. So a permanent club emblem on the side of the stand appears to be out. A humble aspiration would be making the Atyeo side end of the Dolman stand distinct with flags every other week. Humble, achievable and practical. On the front sloping part of the Dolman roof, I'd like to see in massive writing........."THIS IS ASHTON GATE", or something along those lines.

WTMS Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 But if it brings in revenue.... That is for Bristol Sport to decide. Supporters have demonstrated what they can do. A dull stadium that takes commercialism too far may not "make Bristol Proud" and lose revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be forced to stay till the end of the match! You will be much better served by changing your match day rituals this season. The absence of the Williams stand will render most of the playing surface invisible due to the sun in your eyes. My suggestion would be to reverse tradition and only attend the last few minutes of the match and applaud the team from the field. Only if they have won, of course. If they haven't bothered to win then bollocks to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireSection Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Any empty space should be filled with an Ajax like Mural, we've seen how good it looked in the EE. Something that would honour the past and feature club logo(s), understandably we will most likely get BS hoarding everywhere that's not filled by a sponsor/advertiser, that's personally what I'd like to see.

Something that would honour the past and feature club logo(s), understandably we will most likely get BS hoarding everywhere that's not filled by a sponsor/advertiser, that's personally what I'd like to see. It would look spectacular and could easily be funded by fans almost instantly. The topic of placing a mural inside Ashton Gate was approached in 2013 with the architects team. Other ideas like placing artwork within the concourse sponsored by local businesses have also been proposed since. Then came the but, but It appears far more realistic to ask Bristol Sport can fans put the Gerry Gow flag etc up on the wall of the Dolman on a matchday.

Cowshed Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Or maybe 'BUTCHERS'? Well I suppose maybe, but it appears more logical with the development at a advanced stage the seating would be used to highlight the Bristol Sport brand, although the fly through video shows a stand minus the Bristol Sport logo on seating or walls.

WTMS Posted July 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Regarding the seating. According to a post on WTMS, which quotes e mails from Bristol Sport the lower section of the Dolman will have all red seats, and there are no plans to change the seats in the upper section.

Bristol rugby is in the city of Bristol so i see no problem with BRISTOL CITY on the seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
