Wanderingred Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I sat up there for the Newcastle game and I had to keep reminding myself I was actually at Ashton Gate! Its a different world completely, the view is mindblowing. It did feel a bit detatched from the atmosphere but thats mostly because there werent many of us up there. With the Atyeo completely closed for home fans next season, I guess its more likely we can get bigger crowds there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always been keen to see what the view is like from up there. Has anyone seen a match from there? High and not so good. Worth a visit though.

Bazooka Joe Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Sat in the very top row at the Blackburn game - good view but the game was so drab, it was hard to get an impression of what it might be like from up there at a blood-and-thunder game. Imagine it'll be pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great views been up their twice, one tip - food and drink from the lower concourse has more selection and less likely to run out. There are limited options once you go up, and it's a bloody long way back down and up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollymarie Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Just now, CodeRed said: Aren't there any lifts? Yes there are lifts, but there is still some stair walking involved as they only take you to the upper tier and then you have more stairs to get to your seat depending on how far up the upper tier you are.

Bar BS3 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 The stairs are a bit of a climb but it's really not that bad. My 2 year old walked up unaided for our second switch up their and for the first I carried him up there. It's comfortable enough for anyone who's not disabled or infirm.

JasonM88 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Only 91 seats avaliable in the lower tier, upper tier selling very quickly. Could we genuinely be looking at 24/25k here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Why are so many paying such close attention to how many seats are left for sale..?! We will find out the attendance on Sunday week, we know it's going to be decent, so why are people getting so obsessed by it..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I have booked a seat in the front row of the upper tier. I can't wait to leap the barrier at the final whistle to get on the pitch to celebrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be leaving an hour and a half earlier just in case... Yeh I agree I'm driving down from Scotland staying overnight before in a hotel :laugh:. Just hope they make it worth my while :laugh:.

We'll be on the train rather than drive - 10 minute drive to Keynsham and then only about 8 minutes to Temple Meads. Leg it to AG in 25 minutes. I wouldn't even think of using the car for this game. Train booked! Worked out not much difference when considering petrol and that. Can have a few ciders now! Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
