Midlands Robin Posted August 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 10 minutes ago, phantom said: Apologies if missing something obvious, but where was this confirmed? It's not mate. It was more of a question really. Steve Lansdown in his recent Radio Bristol interview, when talking about naming a stand for Terry Cooper says that Ashton Gate has two named stands, the Atyeo and the Lansdown. It may well have been a mistake but it does seem odd that our owner didn't recognise the Dolman Stand. I thought I may have missed something myself.

Coupon Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 I’ve read this several times and believe that Steve was saying - there are two named stands for obvious reasons (meaning Atyeo and Dolman); and this one (Landsdown) for not so obvious reasons.

The names of Des Williams and Billy Wedlock have been lost as stand names. No doubt Harry Dolman and John Atyeo will go the same way in time, although wouldn't have thought so while Marina's still around. Seems clear to me that the Bears are now a factor - Ashton Gate is no longer just Bristol City's ground. Bristol Sport Football Division 'til I die.

Selling off the naming rights would be a very easy deal to do for a 7-figure sum, you'd have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the whole purpose of Bristol Sport, and once the redevelopment was complete, I assumed it was nailed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dredd Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Don’t see why the Bears and the football need to call the stand the same thing. In fact in their rebranding documentation they renamed the South Stand the ‘Bear Pit’ (bit cringe) so if we call the South Stand one thing there’s no obligation for the Bears to do the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed.Maybe Bristol Badgers? Or Bristol Babbers.... Having seen a few of our badges btw I've gotta say I really like the new one. Very simple and clean looking. Have a look at Blackpool's....

Sleepy1968 Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 17 hours ago, Wiltshire robin said: The bears shouldn’t have a say in any stand names , taking city of the dolman was just the start It's all down to what the owner thinks - evidently he no longer regards Ashton Gate as city's ground. I think we'll rename the training ground to "The Terry Cooper HPC" or something similar. Given that he always desired a fantastic training ground (but never got it) I think that would be fitting. Either that, or borrow from the Importance of Being Earnest (don't worry I've only ever seen the film): "Well, at the football I am The Terry Cooper Stand, and the (or insert whosever name they want) Stand at the rugby."
