Dollymarie Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 With a new season upon us, the Bristol City Supporters Club & Trust is delighted to let you know that after two seasons of temporary arrangements we have now have a long-term matchday ‘home’. The new SC&T bar is on the first floor of the Sports Bar & Pizzeria (in space previously earmarked for a museum). As you can see from the photo below, it has been starting to take shape over the last couple of weeks and for the speed with which that has been achieved special thanks are due to Mark Kelly and Ross Wormald of Ashton Gate Limited, who have pulled out all the stops to help us get the bar ready in time for Saturday’s game. Not all fixtures and fittings will be in place on Saturday, but the bar will be open for business. So come along and see how it’s looking so far. Then enjoy seeing the final look evolve over the next couple of weeks. Access to the bar is via the Sports Bar & Pizzeria (doors on the corner of South and Lansdown Stands). You then go through the main bar and up the stairs at the far end, as though you were heading to the loos. Our bar is on your left at the top of the stairs (the lift takes you straight there as well). As in previous years, the bar is open to all qualifying members on a first come, first served basis (i.e. until capacity is reached). To check which levels of membership qualify for use of the bar and to join or re-join, please visit the Membership Page on our website. http://bristolcitysupporters.org/supporter-info/ If you have any questions about membership, want to check what level of membership you have or whether you are paid up, please contact our membership secretary, Mike Adams, at blagdonmike@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just needs a bit of a clean up first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderInACan Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 I'm sure we've got Donnie Gillies' famous Tam O'Shanter, John Atyeo's England Caps and Steve Brooker's dustbin to put on display somewhere else in the stadium. Definitely worth a fiver (plus Gift Aid) of anyone's money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wanted it moved from the back of the Atyeo given there will be away fans in that area from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted August 4, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Would have been nice to put it somewhere near where the players etc enter, they should realise this part of the club's history and the privilege it is for them to put on a Bristol City shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's a more important part of our history than beating Liverpool away in the FA Cup and that is somehow given a huge space in the SS to help us remember it. A great result no doubt about it but not necessarily worthy of such a lasting memorial. Thst space would be much better served with a huge mural of this as a reminder to everyone that there very nearly was no Bristol City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mkelly Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Work in progress but great joint effort from the Sc&t and the ops team. Good pressure from all in getting in over the line for tomorrow. Can only get better over the months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I meant more actual old stuff, not just graphic reprints as such. Even a collection of shirt designs from years gone by would be nice to see side by side.
