BCAGFC Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I really don't understand the delay in producing renders, I won't be using the stand when it's finished but it would be nice to see what it will actually look like when finished. I think all EEers know that the roof will not be how they wanted it to be and that safe standing might or might not be installed at the back depending on what the authorities decide in the next couple of months. So IMO, there can be only 3 factors stopping renders being produced: 1) waiting for decision on safe standing 2) some mysterious design feature that fans might not like 3) saving money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy bird Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Done worry guys, I'm sure the fans Parliament will forensically scrutinise the plans and make sure the club delivers, the club promised step by step consultation with the fans and surely they are upholding this promise by coalition with our elected representatives who all have minds of their own, and are not the boards poodles in any way shape or form.

To be fair to some of the Fans Parliament bods they did say the consultation was a box ticking exercise, or maybe that was a box kicking exercise, but it was one of them.

WolfOfWestStreet Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 That looked quite interesting until you get to the bottom of the page The chosen applicant will start the role ASAP and will report to the Head of Marketing. Although this role is unpaid, expenses will be provided. The successful applicant will carry out an initial three-month probationary period.http://www.bristol-sport.co.uk/about-us/careers/#graphic That's pretty disgusting to be honest. Club bangs on about community all the time, well I'm sure there are some extremely talented in the community that would love a job like that but couldn't afford to work for free. It's like the club think people should just be honoured to work for them, well sorry I think that's wrong. ******* pay the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timothy bird Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 The member of the fans Parliament who said it was a box ticking exercise has now resigned from the fans Parliament because it was a box ticking exercise, I believe ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted August 28, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 The member of the fans Parliament who said it was a box ticking exercise has now resigned from the fans Parliament because it was a box ticking exercise, I believe ! Indeed, and can be regularly found on the Ziderheads site explaining this point! It would be an architect who produced the plans, not a graphic designer. Graphic designers are concerned with making visual things look nice, designing logos, etc. Architects do architectural plans. Oh the irony of it all . . .

CotswoldRed Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Planners base their decisions on detailed plans, layouts, structural reports, design drawings etc not flash 'fly through' artistic representations.. That's my point really. If these plans exist then get a 5 year-old to colour them in and share with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The consistent from fans for a period of over half a year has been "what it will actually look like when finished?". The club engaging with support would then lead to simple decisions like "I will / won't be using the stand when it's finished". A follow on would be fans providing cost effective, sensible ideas, that reflect the clubs history and culture for - http://www.bristol-sport.co.uk/news/ashton-gate-rebuild-fan-consultation/ based upon what it will actually look like when finished. It is illogical to put forward an idea, or ideas for a stand you may have no intent using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFG Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Something like this. That's a fans edited photo, to show the safe standing at the back. Will there still be the sunken enclosure at the front? The stand might not look anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Something like this. This is a good example of what could easily be published. It may not exactly match the actual stand, as will be built, but the club could easily produce their version with hardly any effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted August 28, 2014 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 So it's been decided we can't use them has it? Nope.

WTMS Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Procedure in what sense? Timescale for finally releasing South stand images for fans, Pricing, priority, seating arrangements - unreserved or otherwise, who will be leading this and on. BS and BCFC should not confuse fans being widely in favour of safe standing as a guarantee of a overwhelming vocal section of support will instantly gravitate in numbers to this South stand when complete.

Don't know any of that, but hopefully should all fall into place pretty quickly if and when the authorities give the green light for the use of rail seats. Until then everyone is really in a bit of a state of limbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Personally, I'm not too worried if I see a picture of it.
