MelksRed Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 No doubt we will all be looking a grossly inflated threads regarding summer transfer targets....both real and fictitious. Not looking forward to nearly 3 months of no Footy and plenty of speculation driven, in part, by the Post! Until next season..COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumRed Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Well this season can just do one, glad it's over. Highlight was definitely raining on Brighton's parade. Onwards and upwards, COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tin Soldier Posted May 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Just imagine the ground if the Park End (I refuse to call it anything else) was redeveloped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would look utterly stunning, I agree but does it make any sense? Assuming we would mirror the South stand, would there be any point as we would have to lose seats for segregation so wouldn't really gain much, if anything, especially given the cost. If it was going 2 tier, a la Lansdown then it would benefit but the South stand (including corners) holds just over 6,000. We would have already lost one corner in the Lansdown / North stand corner and then lose segregation space on the other side. The current Atyeo holds around 4,300 (?) so I wouldn't imagine a North stand a la South stand, would actually give us anything but a cosmetic improvement.

downendcity Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 As someone living away from Bristol can I just say that AG looks gurt lush and those of you able to attend home matches are lucky b*****s. Now all we need is a team as good as the stadium. Thanks to all of you for posting those super photos . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of one super massive single tier - but it would be dependent on the houses being demolished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they would build a mirror of the South stand at the park end as it's just not worth it. It would have to be a fair bit bigger to warrant the expense (price per extra seat) and, let's be honest, we don't really need it. It would be nice for the stadium to be fully upgraded but I can't see it happening for a long time TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you're going to mirror the West Stand , would be rude not to sort the South Stand to match and continue the curve On a serious note - I can see the Atyeo End development happening and that would give us a fantastic completed stadium for the forseeable If we ever then sold out on a regular basis that would be the time to consider the viability of any expansion We could always get some large marquees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I get you Havana. Are you saying the entrance building, where the police box is would be 'topped' with more seats a la Lansdown upper tier and the top tier wrap around to end where the Dolman is? Surely that would't work as the Dolman roof would block the view. If the upper tier ended pretty much where the Dolman side of the Atyeo ends currently, it would make sense as no view would be blocked and the lower tier could wrap round or be left open for vehicular access.
