Kid in the Riot Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Noticed on Tuesday that the one next to the security office (owned by the club) is for sale. Think that should finally confirm that the club (or more specifically SL) don't own those houses and also have no serious intention of purchasing them, if they were aggressively pursuing them then they'd have already purchased that house prior to it going to market. Ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought at the time when they demolished the old EE would have been a good time to move the whole ground more towards the trading Est kfc, as they were going to build two new stands and redevelop the Dolman, that might have given them more room to make the Atyeo a bit deeper and higher with it being further from the houses, would obviously have cost a bit more but maybe would have saved a lot rather than doing it at a later date and with the trouble with the houses.

How would the Atyeo have been further from the houses in that scenario? It is where it is....unless you were suggesting demolishing the Atyeo as well?

Negan Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Atyeo needs rebuilding. It's an eye sore now. Plus could do with pushing our capacity over the 30k mark as we'd get that every week should we get promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you converted 6k seats into rail seats you’d get 9k in the same space. Voila, 30k capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue with the Atyeo is that it now looks aesthetically out of place with the rest of the revamped AG. I sure most of us can live with it tho.

Fpcity Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Is there anyway of filling in the corners to attach it to the dolman and lansdown, maybe not with seats but something ? Then a refurb like what happened to the dolman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Actually it’s a cunning ploy by SL. Most of the houses behind the Atyeo that go on sale are owned by Bristol Sport and don’t really get sold. The “for sale” signs are just put up to convince the owners of the few non Bristol Sport houses that that the club has no interest in extending the Atyeo. Thus, when one of these people decide decide to sell their house, it can be bought at a bargain price by Bristol Sport. You heard it here first!

reddogkev Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I want to buy that house! Can't afford it though, come on, surely we can all chip in a few thousand and buy the place... Imagine it, an OTIB house, a City hub, another place to relax before and after games, shooting the shit about all things City related. Of course, I'll still live there, if you guys don't mind. I'll stump up the first £500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allow for a full Atyeo , 4.5k away fans. That would leave us 23k tickets, we regularly get about 18k home fans now, add the pull of the Prem and I think we would be close, specially for the first year.

Let's say we did however, if you look at the cup games over the past couple of seasons. Bat the two Manchester clubs we've not sold out for any of the others. Now, I know the Cup is a different beast altogether but if we're struggling to get decent attendances against the likes of Huddersfield or Stoke (when they were in the prem last year) I can't see us getting 26k for that sort of side (lower mid tablr/relegation struggler) , never mind a theoretical 30k if we were to go up. Would love to be proved wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
