MichaelRobartes Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 To be fair it was clearly advertised as bricks. The OCD in me doesn't particularly like the upper/lower case thing either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Sir / Madam, I refer to my purchase detailed below, I visited Ashton Gate Stadium earlier this week and was disappointed to see that the Wedlock Wall is not actually a wall. We were expecting a wall to be built, maybe a circular one around the Atyeo Statue, The end result has yet to been witnessed by myself, but effectively there are simply name plaques stuck onto a garage like hut - hardly that impressive is it? I have also noticed that the format's are random. Our 'Brick' was submitted and we assumed that Bristol Sport would decide on whether to use Capitals or Non-Capitals. It looks very bitty and I would have probably opted for Capitals had I known this:- DAVID & ASHTON THOMAS BOYS I will be attending tonight's friendly against Bournemouth to see the final look but a friend of mine did say that the 'outer wall frame' has simply been painted black and a sign has been stuck on the hut saying 'Wedlock Wall'. As mentioned, I am disappointed. If the hut is there for the long term, then I would have thought that your marketing team would have created something much better rather than using black paint for the edges? Surely some memorable artwork would have been much better to finish off the hut, pictures of Billy Wedlock, old images of Ashton Gate etc etc etc, I await your comments, Kindest Regards David You paid to have your name on a brick on a wall........and you have your name, on a brick, on a wall. What went on that brick was down to you when you submitted it.......if BS changed anything to make it all the same, many would have moaned. Jesus.....first world problems eh!

cidercity Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 I must admit i thought they would build a wall with the plaques fixed, and it is a first world problem but to a lot of people £55 is a decent amount of money, not everyone can fork out this amount and may have had to save up or even worse had it as a birthday present. I was going to get one with my daughters names on but i didnt get around to it, im glad i didnt now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put like that, I do find myself agreeing more with those who are a bit disappointed with the display. That said, it might be a case that it looks better in the flesh that the photo that has been posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just plaques that have been stuck on the wall of the hut. it is odd how the rest of the ground has been done well and then they have done this.
