  1. Glad to hear this, as a lot of eastenders wanted the standing to go at the back. Any idea when we will know what the final design looks like

     

     

     

     

    These are the drawings submitted for planning in July so this is pretty much what will be built:

    Plans and sections towards the bottom

  2. Putting it bold doesn't make it any better a figure.

    37 boxes is hardly the financial knight in shining crusader armour, is it?

    What's the profit on those? 370K?

    Is a box at AG going to generate 10k each a year? Not a hope.

     

    Be lucky to get 5k each- we are in L1 don't forget. Now 165k isn't to be sniffed at, but surely the whole point of this was to attract "corporate" income - and we are only building 37??

     

    Not having a pop at you mate - thanks for the info, but not building as many as possible, when you have a once in 50 years chance is madness.

     

    I'm very surprised this hasn't got much more attention on here.

     

     

    No offence taken

    Was merely trying  highlight the fact that there are more thank 18 boxes in the redevelopment.

    The problem with limited room an the Ashton gate site means balancing capacity against boxes.

    More boxes = less capacity.

    How many boxes would there have been at the vale ??

     

     

  3. I assume that away following could be reduced if we get a lot of new home fans? 5,500 seems an awful lot.

     

    The boxes on the other hand - 18 seems ridiculously small. Why bother with just 18?

    I went to game in a box at Carrow Road, they had loads of them, each ranging from 20 - 100 people. Easily 100 boxes.

    If AG just went for 18, then I truly would think the club has finally lost the will to live.

     

    I would hope the boxes are the first concern - if we can fit 200 in AG, build 200. International Rugby Union and League are a given after the redevelopment, and the club would be chasing all kinds of events surely.

    18..no,no,no, that's crazy.

     

    There are 18 exec boxes in the new Williams.

    If you add in the 15 being added to the back of the Dolman and 4 in the corner of the new Wedlock the total No of boxes will be 37.

  4. Not for me. A shiny new Stadium with all the added benefits would have been great and my preference but this is a very good "next best thing" IMO.

     

    I won't be at all disappointed if/when we re-develop Ashton Gate.

     

     

    Agree

     

    I am all for the Vale and my blood boils about how a few people have scuppered it but this is still a good alternative.

    If City had never mentioned moving and come up with these plans on day one most people would have been pretty happy with what is being proposed.
