Padlad Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Yesterday on the timelapse the pitch was in full rugby mode. http://www.bristol-sport.co.uk/ashton-gate-rebuild/ Looks like some sort of attempt to cover it up the lines has happened. But they are still pretty obvious. Will be interested to see what they're like on Saturday. Can't help but think no matter how state of the art the stadium will be rugby lines scream compromise and is not befitting of our great home....

Unfortunately it is not our great home anymore, it is one of Steve Lansdown's great homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 I seem to remember the last time this happened. During our promotion season battle with Watford the lines were very obvious during the home game, very poor. I hope for better with the new technology.

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted September 4, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 I remember that. I have a feeling it was from american football, but like yourself my memory isn't what it used to be That seems right, but as many visits to the gate have needed post match libation, quite often to excess, my memory is also hazy.

Red Homer Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Was definitely egg chasing of the American kind - I was stewarding that season and can remember being sat in the Williams for the post match briefing thinking how bad the pitch looked.

RedRock Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 From Day 1 of the link up, this was the issue of greatest concern for me. One only need look at our National Football Stadium to see the disaster that multi lines are to the football watching experience. Something like looking at a 5 aside match in a local authority gym.p. Sure though Bristol Sport have sussed how to obliterate the egg chasers lines though, just like they've managed to sort out POTD ticketing and home ticket printing issues. Every confidence in them.

lou-peters-dive Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 We need to move on guys. Before the Atyeo was built I remember the chant "Harry Dolman build us a stand" For god sake we need to move on. 21st century stadium. I'm sure I can put up with a little bit of green dye to hide rugby lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fat Controller Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 UPDATE: Can't see any rugby lines. Also, can barely see some of the football ones. (Can't see the centre circle from up in the corner of the Atyeo) Can see where the rugby posts were (6yard line) but don't think this will effect anything.
