Don’t know if anyone else remembers it? I'm not familiar with Hanham but if that's true that's impressive as it must be 6 miles away or more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple truth is that if people sing, it improves the atmosphere. But they only do it now and then. Yep - people have short memories. Prior to redevelopment it was common to read on here that it was a crap stand for atmosphere because of poor acoustics. Simply not true and away followings have proved this over the years making some good noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had numerous good hidings on non match days for wearing a city shirt. Never one on one. They hunt in packs. Last time granted was a few years ago but the odds were at least 15 of them and 2 of us. It wasn’t pretty I remember I was in the glue pot a few years back and some lads must’ve clocked I was checking city score on phone. Came up to the table with violence in mind but thankfully managed to defuse the situation. There are a subset of idiots attached to every club.

Wolf Island Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 If stadiums are empty into next season this is the perfect time to demolish the Atyeo. Plans must already be in place and can quickly be put out for consultation. The SGSA’s interim report was v positive so even if we built rail seating to a similar footprint it would be an amazing future-proofed upgrade and improve atmosphere across the ground incl Lansdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YGBjammy Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 I'm yet to sit in the Lansdown stand just due to the prices; seems crazy to me. I will continue to have my knees squashed in the Dolman thank you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show Me The Money! Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Have people forgotten what the Williams stand used to be like?

maxjak Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 6 hours ago, JonDolman said: I've always thought they should have crowd noise blended in on the tannoy. Cheering them coming out or having corner or even chants being played. As long as it seems real then that could really add to the atmosphere. Yes...... lets also have cheerleaders, marching bands and have quarters instead of two halves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 7 hours ago, Eddie Notgetinya said: The Lansdown stand needs a club crest on each end - it still looks unfinished imo The trick I think we miss is to have something on the back of the Lansdown - `Ashton Gate. Home of Bristol City and Bristol Rugby` or something similar. It would smack you in the face driving down from Gordano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the county ground like when you last beat Man Utd...?! One that did disappoint me though, talking of Sunday lunchtime games. February last year, FA Cup. We'd won 9 on the bounce, in all competitions- in front of the cameras- I'm talking AG as a whole here, our chance to pit ourselves vs a top 7 PL side in Wolves- a top 7 PL side who we had competed well against the prior season in the League, it was us v Wolves, 2pm maybe? 1pm? Sunday lunchtime anyway! We'd won 9 on the bounce, the joint or perhaps the longest winning runs in the top 6 or 7 Leagues in Europe (I'd put Championship in that bracket) and vs a good side, shades of 2017/18 even if style not quite the same- we'd gone 15 unbeaten. Very flat in the circs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is always going to be a quiet/quieter stand. Which is fine but consider: Corporate areas in the Upper Lansdown Family areas- Upper Lansdown IIRC? Ticket prices. It's unfortunate as it is the biggest stand but those circs are going to combine to give it a pretty modest atmosphere- IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
