spudski Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 ...I came across this whilst drinking my morning coffee. Not something I was ever expecting to find tbh...but put a smile on my face, especially as it was randomly made by an enthusiastic Italian. The is a very healthy and active Subbuteo stadium building community...much of which based on old English football stadiums, mainly made by Italians. Weird...I know :laugh: Apparently the 'main stand' is a nod to our 1964 North stand. Made me smile and might bring back some memories for the older supporters https://fineartamerica.com/featured/bristol-city-ashton-gate-north-stand-1-october-1964-legendary-football-grounds.html?fbclid=IwAR0eZsXzeHj1wjsP38a-1pZJpzQYCoRKw1V7xeK0fHd-d2jTdX9VwXp0pMg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the year correct though, as I can’t remember seeing that stand, unless it came down 64/65? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the East End is now the South Stand , that could make either the old Open End / Atyeo or, more likely the Dolman side the North Stand. The old pre Dolman stand below.

miser Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Interestingly, the ratio of pillars to length is identical to Rovers new family stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other stand in the model does somewhat resemble the old wooden "No2" stand that once stood where the Dolman is now. That stand was demolished in (I think) 1965 or 66 - certainly it had gone when I started going in 66-67 season. The terrace in front of the stand remained though......interestingly this side had no separate entrance or turnstiles , you just entered via the open or covered end and walked onto that side. Many fans changed ends at half time back then so you were always behind the end City were attacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't raining, I stood there as I preferred a side of pitch view. Thus I can definitely assure everyone, that the Geoff Bradford goal in the 1958 FA Cup 5the round, WAS DEFINITELY OFFSIDE. I met Geoff in Supporters Club on day Atyeo stand was officially opened. I said "Yes you were" and he replied " No I wasn't, look at the history books!" with a big smile. I also stood there for cup tie against Blackpool when Thresher shut Stan Matthews out of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the reason the pitch was so hard early season was that the cricket club used it for a car park I think. I`m pretty sure Northampton couldn`t play any Saturday home games until the cricket season finished either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost 1-0 I think Yeah I went there with my dad in the early nineties. I think we lost 2-0 that day. I agree about the old ground, very weird atmosphere with only 3 sides!
