    However, for me football is about standing with your mates, vocally supporting the team and having a laugh. The initial plans for safe standing in the SS and the entire front of the Dolman looked really good. Although it wasn't allowed during the initial build, I hoped the club would eventually see that through. 

    For me, it's about watching my team play. Standing, sitting, alone, with friends, whatever.

    Care to elaborate?

    I thought the work carried out,build and additions with have been done well. Enhanced the experience and made for a more comfortable time, not to mention better choice for substance.

    Blimey, those concession stands are clearly branching out

    The way Ashton Gates redevelopment has been executed has been poor in my opinion. I was in favour of the move to AV and wish we still could

    Can you elucidate? I think it's been well done. Admittedly, I'm an occasional visitor, but it's a world better than the old AG. No doubt AV would have been better still, but there's nothing we can do about that.

    Crap Atyeo stand, poor atmosphere, nightmare to park, no future proof plan if promoted.
    Never really liked the new ground, much preferred the old AG.

    Think long term, we will regret getting turned down by the namby pambys of Bristol. But that’s Bristol for you.

    So the Atyeo's crap, but you preferred the old ground, where the Atyeo was the best stand?

    I feel sorry for the guy.  Something has gone very wrong there.  Remember him for MK Dons in our promotion season?  What a prospect he looked then…

    Absolutely, I think there's something really wrong there. Joking aside, maybe he needs to come and hide in somewhere like the Championship to get his head back together. Feel genuinely sorry for the lad, remember him playing against us for the MK Donkeys, he looked class even as a kid. Shame.

  6. It's an interesting question. I think it's certain that had England hosted the World Cup, we'd have got our planning permission - Mr Red Trousers would have been shafted from on high - and we'd be in there now. 

    I actually think the redevelopment of the AG ground and the wider masterplan for the site has been managed really well, and has resulted in us being in an excellent position - compare and contrast to FC Millet's, etc. I must confess, I've not tried the 'new' Dolman, but the other stands are truly excellent. The view from the top of the Lansdown is astonishing.

    The major drawback with AG remains access; I think that would have been the major improvement from a relocation, TBH. But I think the fact that we host international women's and U21 games, etc shows we have a good, modern stadium.
