Dollymarie Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Hi all, The next FAN meeting is Monday the 28th of November. If there are any items you would like to put forward for discussion then please add them to this thread, and I will do my best to get queries answered. Please remember we have the Q and A section if you have things that Mark Kelly might be able to answer instead. There are a few items already on the agenda. a) Shop ticket sales – is this going to happen soon? Acceptance of deliveries – shop appears best place for visitors/deliverers. Liaise with Coffee Shop & Sports Bar – possibly open Sports bar with available staff b) Wi-Fi – is this now working, if so, in what areas? 2. Matchday Experience a) Lighting in Winterstoke Road entrance – very dim area around the statue/ticket office/bar b) Half-time queues in South Stand – seem to be getting longer c) Exiting South Stand – noticeable cramped effect 3. Club Kit 2017/18 – result of consultation 4. FAN membership and attendance record (if we could keep this thread on topic I'd be very grateful as it makes it easier for questions to be pulled out ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Can we get an 'official' response from the Club, as to why they won't change or recognise the 1894 date of the club forming please Dolly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Using the example of the cost of football survey, why are the majority of our away tickets priced above the average premier league away ticket price. Cap or not cap that is disgraceful. £20 for away fans is a must (even if they are the cheapest in the ground) to show this club values away fans, as the way it treats the away fans of other clubs is a reflection of how it sees our own fans surely!

Bristol Rob Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I know that previously the group have struggled to get through the agenda, so I suggest you drop item 1 b) Surely that can be answered in the section @Mkelly contributes in?

FAN membership and attendance record (if we could keep this thread on topic I'd be very grateful as it makes it easier for questions to be pulled out ) I think all the questions in bold could be answered by Mark Kelly. Think FAN is an opportunity to ask bigger 'macro' questions rather than smaller housekeeping type ones above as it doesn't come around that often.. issues like pricing (20's plenty), kit, how the club plan to promote tickets to break attendance records, establish the SLO situation (who it is and how they are going to do it), what the club is doing in the community and plans going forward, any discussion on the future of the home fans in the Atyeo etc would be more useful things to discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septic Peg Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Can you make 1a a bit more specific? ie tickets bought in the shop on a nonmatch day. Otherwise we just get the usual gumpf of you can buy a ticket from the office in the car park blah blah blah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashtonboy Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Define and confirm the pricing policy, for season ticket holders, for food and drink in the fanzone. Also define punitive measures against those vendors who rip-off fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I would be interested in the clubs attitude towards camera placements given their position for the Brighton match? Should we ever progress to the top table, surely the Lansdown upper will be opened so what becomes of the cameras? Personally, I would be a bit cheesed off if I paid top dollar for the upper tier only to have a camera platform stuck in the way when there's a perfectly good TV gantry at the back. Secondly, and I think I know the answer is 'no', is there anything else that can be done to speed up the egress from the Upper East stand after games as it still takes forever to get out of there? There doesn't seem to be anything obvious but I'm sure the club are aware of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There doesn't seem to be anything obvious but I'm sure the club are aware of the problem. Maybe my memory playing tricks but I thought there were plans to make exits at the top rear ala iron fire escape type stairs down the back of the Dolman. Also, they could allow exiting at the front along the walkway. Both would ease the congestion on the current exits that we all have to shuffle to.

Maybe RSG but weren't those 'fire escape' stairs mentioned when they were going to put boxes at the back? The only idea I had was to close off the concourses for 10 minutes after the whistle. West standers go out of the West stand, South standers out of the South and we go out of the Dolman. I think the problem is fans going in different direction causes the Dolman to back up. If we didn't have the 'traffic' in the concourse, those that wanted to get straight out would do so more quickly. Only an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Is safe standing going to be installed as promised, once it is allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good suggestion, we need to keep at them about this and make sure it stays in mind. Luckily the Rugby at AG may help make it happen if/when it gets legalised.

A Horse With No Name Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I would like to know if the plans for a memorial garden at Ashton Gate is still on. Nothing of any great size really, just an area where ashes could be scattered and a bench or two for quiet remembrance at a place the person loved to be.

A Horse With No Name Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I think that strip of land there, with newly planted trees would be ideal. Stone benches already installed so I am hoping that's what they have in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Will the club remove references to 'As seen in The Sun' from any pasty based advertising? Don't really care if they are a 3rd party vendor or not. To start with, no one if going to think.. 'I'm going to spend thirty quid on a football ticket to then spend money on a pasty because the sun said it was nice' Secondly, you only sell one brand of pasty. Seen in the Sun or not, it isn't as if we need telling, and it isn't as if we are going to buy something else as it's that or nothing. Thirdly. I'm currently buying nothing on the basis that I choose not to associate my spend with anything 'associated' with that rag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bs3 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 The campaign for safe standing is now firmly on the agenda with EPL. So my question is what is the clubs official stane on this matter.( I guess we are in favour but it would be good to confirm this) If the law is changed and safe standing is allowed would we still be in a position at AG to install these seats. And where in the ground would we have them, my choice would be in the block behind the goal in the South Stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
