Let's hope that there are toilets in the damned fan zone as that was a ridiculous set up for an a brilliant area I have a feeling there was a "Phase 3" of development work - but not heard if anything has changed over the summer?

Lewisdabaron Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 The Atyeo is now back to how it was - regarding the missing lines of seats which was done due to segregation last season- so the 'Bristol City' wording is back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't most of those already there? That whole area is already a bit of a mess and whatever happened to the memorial garden? I had a walk past the other week and it doesn't look like any additional work has been carried out.....certainly not externally. The Atyeo external area looks awful now compared to the rest of the ground As far as I could see, the lansdown concourse hasn't had any additional work where I thought at least they would have done the floor and matched the concessions décor in line with the south stand /dolman. Whatever happened to the rugby "clubhouse" they were talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Minor point, but half a dozen of the new Silver Birch lining the brook along Marina Dolman way have died off. As presumably a finishing touch in terms of landscaping, they now look awful. I'm sure Marina would welcome healthy looking replacements for the new season ( and for the groundstaff to water them while they bed in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, and well deserved accolade to Marina, but I'm sure she'd like to think the avenue will mature and still be there in many decades time. Looks to me the trees were thrown in at the last minute by the builders, not carefully planted by someone with a certain expertise - bit of a false economy looking at the result. Easily sorted out by replacing the failed trees, and improving soil quality if necessary, and I hope it will be. I consider it a bit of an insult to Marina if it isn't.

Spoons Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Something new is the car park barrier! Ticket to get in, 1 hour free parking or you have to spend over a £5 to get free parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they've got everything sorted I'm sure there'll be an announcement. The club don't want to end up with the almighty cock ups we had last time, mainly down to nimbys and the council.

Lord Northski Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I'd heard that Wicks are in the last year of their lease, after which City are moving in the bulldozers, presumably to increase the car park and to make the view of the West Stand a lot more dramatic with an unobstructed view back to Winterstoke Road. Clearly Dreams bed shop closed a while back and this tallies with why no one else has moved in. I was wondering if anyone knew anything else know about Midas next door? or the accountants (I think it is) on the corner by the traffic lights. Beyond that, I'd also heard that the old Braby engineering site, that's now full of cherry pickers had also been purchased by City (or Ashton Gate Ltd or whichever company the accountants are using) Anyone able to add anything on this or any of the other properties along there? I hear things from time to time about the Mercedes site, but as it's separated by a road, I wouldn't imagine it's of as much interest to the development of Ashton Gate as those on the other side of the road.

This will be a fantastic tribute if properly tended. Glad that they have gone for birches rather than the ubiquitous sycamore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 We've got a brand new carpet, some curtains and an extra gazebo to hold some of the locked out fans. Ooops, wrong ground. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cement was tidied and the plaque given a clean when the last batch of names went on. A concrete resin was also put all over it, to make it look neater and have a better finish. It hasn't been specifically cleaned since then, that I'm aware of. The club are now responsible for maintaining things, so they may be having the cleaning teams look after it. Lighting for the statue, and a closer security camera is also impending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Sitting at the front of the Dolman Stand, it would be nice to know that the tannoy had been fixed. So I don't have to guess the half time scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
