Bob Taylor is GOD Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 They had sold out of all hot food BEFORE Half Time! I didn't fancy walking down the 8 flights of stairs and back to get some from the ground floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Switched from South Stand for the game as got 10 pound tickets for 3 mates. Turned up just before 3 and only 1 seat out of the 4 were free. One guy agreed to move, two others didnt which was disappointing as we couldnt sit together. Found odd seats to go to. View was fantastic. Toilet queues were lengthy and didnt wait to get food/drink at half time as would have missed start of 2nd half. At least we were able to sit together 2nd half as the two guys sat in the wrong seats didnt come back. Game was crap but to get the 3 points was fantastic. Will go in the stand again but do prefer it behind the goal in the SS as atmosphear is better.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porto Red Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Tried to get a sense of the height and steepness of the stand. This from the very back row. Feels surprisingly close to the action considering, and almost like you are directly above the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The view of the game was superb, but I did feel a little detached and disengaged from the action. Not as bad as say the upper tier at Wembley or the away end at Newcastle, but I wouldn't choose to sit there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With hundreds of tonnes of cold concrete i'd imagine it would soak up the heat.... just thought it looked odd, and could have added a little more to the wow factor if you could see out.

David Brent Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 I never felt away from the action but it's almost like a completely different game from up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Made a change to sit in the upper tier and was a brilliant view. I did feel a bit detached from the action though and prefer to be closer as I am in the dolman normally even with the lack of leg room. Fantastic stand though and still have to pinch myself that it's actually Ashton Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City fan 1982 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Looking how high it is , next season I'd give the away fans the upper lansdown , not sure how many it holds , give away as many tickets as they can sell . After all More money for us , away fans up in the gods hopefully won't affect the atmosphere . Would be good to see the lower bowl as I've seen it called to all city fans . Then people who want to bring friends should have no trouble getting seats together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View was very good and the whole ground looks so good now. Only trouble was trying to go to the loo and get some food. With crash on m6 yesterday took me 5 and a half hours to get to ground from Manchester and arrived with my son bang on 3. Got to our seats as minutes silence about to start. Went to get something to eat at half time and missed first 5 mins of second half due to the queues. There must be more than just 2 concessions selling hot food. Had to queue outside for food for at least queues were moving and was some kind of queue. For such an impressive stand the concessions service was awful, when will it be sorted or just the 2 one each end is all there will be. I sit lower Lansdown , and there is an issue with toilets. Always a queue and only one Gents and under pressure at half time. Also , admittedly for the first time this season as far as I know, there were no pasties left at two outlets prematch. One said they wern't selling them??? They need to keep on top of this, they have improved over time ,we were in the Dolman last year and they had people going around looking for faults and ways to improve. It's still early days , and the fit out isn't complete , but running out of food is poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably obscures the view of the village green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 I went up to the very top of the Upper tier last Saturday with some friends. My goodness but it is very steep and the nearest I've ever encountered to the double decker behind the goal at Bramall Lane. I'm a sprightly 73 years and was able to go up quite easily. However, I made very sure that I came down to the vomitory, at a very cautious pace. If anywhere in the new stadium needs handrails, it is there. Great view though but at my age I think I'll stick to the lower bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to find something to moan about - cant see a scoreboard or clock, from W3 at least. Toilets need those in/out signs that the lower stand has. about those in out signs I can only assume a lot of people in the south stand cant read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
