G Block Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but looking at the revised AG plans one of the changes looks to be the seat colour now a dark red. Could the kit colour be changing to a darker red next season? http://planningonline.bristol.gov.uk/online-applications/files/2333C29EB5F5E4A7E39ADB59B1F8919E/pdf/14_00751_X-D_A_ADDM._SECTION_4_AERIAL_VIEWS_STUDY-1110235.pdf You can see all the documents here... http://planningonline.bristol.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=N192TBDN00J00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I think red and black or red and white seats should be in place. I know black is probably our 3rd colour after red and white but it makes the place more intimidating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe changing to a darker shade of red would make us more distincitve? Don't get me wrong I'm not convinced that Cardiff changing to a red kit has really had any benefit on their fan base (maybe the far more tangible terrestrially aired home games in SE Asia did though). Nor do i believe Hull City name-changing to share their name with a Leicester based rugby team or a Detroit based baseball team will see any benefit. But, if marketing distinct aspects of sports teams are proven to be successful then I see no harm in changing to a more Crimson red.

RedM Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 The trouble with red is that it must be one of the worst colours to be affected by the sun, it fades so badly, making the ground look tatty in no time. Maybe if the seats are a darker red that's part of the reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIDER NOT CIDRE Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I think it probably is still red, but on the revised one the shadow caused by the roof of the Dolman and Eastend makes it seem like a darker colour than it is. The darker seats at the bottom I think represent the rail seats as Tomarse said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padlad Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 What I also noticed is that corner design seems to have changed slightly between the Dolman and Williams. Is this due to the change in boxes in the updated Dolman? Also there still seems to be 1 random pillar in the corner. Call me a perfectionist but surely in this day and age there is a solution to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowshed Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 It is been asked elsewhere. When can fans see finally easily understandable images of this ground design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowshed Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 There are images in the link provided - not a lot of change to the original drawings/images really. I have looked at images in the link. The Wedlock design is clearly not the one revealed at the open day in the Williams. Fans were told they would be consulted at every phase. That noble intent has not been met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillzider Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 One thing that does seem to have gone is the mid height walkway around the inside of the Stadium seating area similar to what Swansea have.Looks like it remains to the Dolman but has been omitted elsewhere.Looks much better with that gone.

beaverface Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 If you look at the document titled "D&A ADDM.

Sixtyseconds Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 The change is that there are no boxes and the standing has been shifted to the back. Isn't that reacting to consultation ? What else is there that the club could have done ? Best place to sell boxes is at the side. Best place for those rail seats at the back ... Straight b grade cse economics ... Everybody knows that. What else could the club have done? What they said they would in the opening sketch. It was a summer, a coach/manager and three, four or five pillars ago last time the club asked any chap what they thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
