Sargent Pepper Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 A few thoughts: If i go in the new West stand I'm defiantly entering the arena via gate W5. Nobody seems to use it! I especially like the laser that changes the pitch markings automatically, very revolutionary! I Nobody serving in the concourses, as usual! I am also looking forward to seeing Metallica play and just look at the size of the mosh pit!!! On a more serious note, there are a couple of mentions of adidas on the video which would be surprising given the acrimonious end to the recent contract but surely a mistake like that would be picked up?

City Rocker Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Very, very impressive. My only gripe is the Atyeo / Dolman corner, surely something is going in there? Never been clear what that corner will look like, and still isn't. My understanding is that corner will will house the press & media, TV editing suite and so on, also the police control room. But the detail, such as it is, looks different here than on the stills published a few months ago. I remember being shouted down for saying it doesn't look like a bowl. It still doesn't look like a bowl. It never looked like a bowl, and never will. The Richo, St Marys and the Madejski look like bowls. Ashton Gate does not.

Son of Nob Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 The Richo, St Marys and the Madejski look like bowls. Ashton Gate does not. It's going to look like Ashton Gate. For me, that's the most pleasing thing. Instantly recognisable, unique, awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jordan Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Really, really happy with that. Glad it doesn't look like a bowl. Looks modern and retains old-fashioned elements at the same time. Add on a few thousand safe-standing/unreserved seats at the back of the new East End and we're close to perfection.

BrizzleRed Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Looks seriously impressive and for me, really lays to rest the disappointment of us pulling the plug on AV. The only thing that concerns me is "Please note that this video is for illustrative purposes only and may not necessarily reflect the final build and fit-out". If we build it like it's shown shown in the fly through, then it'll be a stadium to be proud of with a real wow factor. I just hope we don't end up with a watered down version. This is a massive opportunity to put Bristol on the map and show we do have some ambition down here, so let's hope we grab it with both hands.

WTFiGO!?! Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Blimey. I do understand the legitimate concerns of a range of fans that the 'people' side of this is not right yet, and we could end up with a very vanilla atmosphere, and appreciate the work many like you are doing to try and make sure that does not happen. But are you suggesting the new build itself is bland? Must confess, do not see that.I'm not doing any more work than making 'internet noise', currently. My only knock is that I'd have the exteriors all red and be shot of the irrelevant 'Bristol Sport' symbol. Other than that, a similar video would have been befitting of the Mall Cribbs Causeway when it was first knocked up. It is lacking fountains, though. Still, it's the people that make a home and that can't be expressed in any animated video. Just my views, glad they're allowed to be expressed here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost black rat Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 wow that is stunning and from a practical point of view the turnover a stadium like this will generate will be huge as for the production the only thing missing was E.T flying of on his bmx at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you think it irrelevant, they are, after all, our current kit supplier. Adidas and before them, Puma, were fairly ubiquitous when they supplied our kit, so I guess the current lot are entitled to have a pop, are they not? What did you expect, Sydney Opera House, perhaps?

The renound saviour of all failing businesses has swooped in and restored us to our former glories* *There's been some financial musical chairs that no one seems to understand, nor neither the point of, that FKA BCFC are now a 'sub brand' of. The owner of which, previously tore up the 1982 agreement that stated no one person could own a majority share, very quietly, at a time when the club was in the black and, may I add, in league 1. He has since lost BCFC it's one major asset (Ashton Gate) and it is now expected we somehow suck the balls of Bristol Sport - and **** knows what the purpose of them are!

WTFiGO!?! Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Re AV, SL has my sympathy there. Bloody legislation in this country! That did take the piss. I honestly walked up to the Dolman turnstyles when it was all happening and felt consciously that I was saying good bye. I'm not bullshitting you that I was glad we stayed at Ashton Gate. Think it's a blessing in disguise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
