**** me what a load of bollocks that video is

It couldn’t have been installed sadly, as it wouldn’t have been able to of been used for football as they wouldn’t recognise it was seats. In short I still believe the club messed up badly with where “noisy” fans should go and now we are stuck in a position with no possibility of any changes being made.

@phantom Found them, not sure how to post pics on here http://stadiumdb.com/designs/eng/ashton_gate scroll down to the 2013 pictures you will see lower half of south stand standing, upper seating From the pics you can see how early ones it’s like the club wanted to put effort into where fans went, standing lower south stand, all along lower dolman, then the newer photos are what we ended up with.

I didn’t attend many of the redevelopment ones, I just attended a couple of what would had been the “standing areas”. From memory there were 2/3 designs, I don’t think the paddock idea has been seen online since the meeting but I might be wrong. Im sure it was held in the Williams stand too, so we’re talking before they got bulldozers out properly. I really liked the look of the paddock idea, it wouldn’t work now as it was at a sunken level so everyone could stand there and the rest of the stand could sit, it would of helped the atmosphere massively as you would have had an actual end and people who were not standing would of been able to join in a lot easier.

I’m sorry phantom but there was official consultation as I was at one of them, there was probably about 40 or so fans there, it was mainly the lads who were putting flags out in the atyeo at the time from how I understood the club talking to them. @Dave L “hosted” it too, he could confirm,. One of the photos shown was explained by one of the designers, and there was another one where a sort of sunken area at the front of the south stand, almost like a paddock or what you get abroad at times, but fans at the meeting were saying it limited the amount of fans if more wanted to stand in the future. Then it appears the club just gave up on anything like that, and here we are.

Oh Robbored, please try to use facts. The supporters club and trust merged in the summer of 2012, around July 2012 Sextone left in may 2012. So how many discussions did you have with sextone while being part of the Supporters club and trust, When the two were not even merged at that time? Your quote is below, you were never directly involved with sextone when you were involved with the SC&T as it simply didn’t exist at that time. ”it was the reason I was given by the late Colin Sextone when I was directly involved in the SC&T.”

I know Silva. I thought he had changed since his ban for being utterly offensive but it seems to be creeping back in again now.

They were housed in the open end as it was the worst stand at Ashton gate, the same as many clubs still employ now when allocating away fans.

You were never part of the trust as it wasn’t formed then, you were chairman of the supporters club for a while. If you want to lie to make up facts, you need to make it believable.

Going back to the point , I’m pretty sure the actual lads within section 82 haven’t demanded to be relocated ? (just spotted James has put up a post explaining from the groups position)

Think that is a harsh on the lads who are within section82 and not the whole standing area, I highly doubt they would view themselves as that.

Phantom, I know I keep saying this but to have discussions when there are no open ideas on what could happen, in my eyes is daft. There are such limited scope on what can be done, the club should be open and go “this is what we can feasible do, do any of them sound good”, then put it out to fans etc. With there being limited options, you basically have the following You make the back of the south stand standing,- 1 you annoy season ticket holders 2 your just spreading fans out move to the upper lansdown - hardly going to be a massive uptake wanting to do that . Other than that, what would work?

I didn’t think about that, I get very annoyed when it’s big cup games and I have to tell people to move out the spot I’ve been standing in for years now, regardless of where my season card seat is I have no idea. Then you get some bloke who I’ve never seen before waving his ticket saying it’s his seat etc.

It’s almost like Arsenal are a bigger club with more fans willing to buy tat for points, I imagine the uptake on our rewards scheme was minimal.

On the grand scale of crimes at the minute, I think running on the pitch is one of the more mild ones!

There is so much wrong with this country at the moment but two kids running on the pitch isn’t one of them. As I’ve said previously a lot of you on here seem to have such sheltered lives with no idea what’s going on.

We are absolutely ******

Young lads have been wanting to fight each other for 1000s of years, it’s nothing new, the trouble in the video masks anything on a city centre nighttime etc I do wonder if some posters on here have very sheltered lives on how bad parts of this country is becoming etc.

I don’t think being on tv makes a blind bit of difffence for players anymore

Another post on the same matter exactly what’s needed

There’s absolutely no chance of that happening,

I think people are simply getting bored of the style of football and the atmosphere etc I’ve had to miss a few games this season due to work and I haven’t been at all bothered I’ve missed it, watched the last 25 minutes on robins today and was glad I wasn’t there.

Surely we need more than one win?

On the plus side lads, it’s going to be a hell of a run when we get into the top 6.

Im pretty sure that the women’s club isn’t connected to the men’s club, financially at least according to the charts.
