RedM Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 I have just been sent this photo from my friends at EliteAir.co, I thought you might like to see. (I will move it to the stadium section later, just abusing my mod powers a bit first!). Thanks to ElsieMae Jones of Elite Air for the great photo.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Nice to see all the red seats. In line with election results perhaps the rest should be blue? However, I am concerned about the identity crisis: Goalposts at the South Stand and Rugby posts at the Atyeo- although I'd still love to see that match.

Mendip City Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Does anyone know whether the Dolman roof is being replaced or just the existing one extended? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon uk Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Apologies for the daft question, is that white roof on the dolman the finished version, or the original red one sun bleached to white?! Ace pic by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Bit of an illusion, but looks like the pitch should be goal-to-goal from the Dolman to the Williams, not Atyeo to the South Stand! Though what this picture does show is the depth of which the new stand(s) will have, along with up-to-date quality. Looking forward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Looking good. But does anyone else think 27,000 will not be enough? 27,000 is pretty much spot on in my opinion. Any less would leave us short for the biggest games, and any more would mean the stadium would look more empty than full, more often than not. If we were to become established in the Premier League, then it might not be enough. Even then I suspect it would be sufficient for the likes of Stoke and West Brom, once the novelty of top flight football has worn off. But that would be a very nice problem to have.

Ace pic by the way! I'm fairly certain it's being clad over, following the roof support at the Atyeo end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Dolman looking like a new stand that's nearing completion - love that, and also how clever the roof extension is to be completely independent from the original roof. Very much like the "new" stand at Anfield (for anyone who hasn't seen check it out - now that is a feat of engineering to be impressed by). Also shows that the footprint has been there all along to make a 30000 seater - could've made Williams 2.0 even bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then I suspect it would be sufficient for the likes of Stoke and West Brom, once the novelty of top flight football has worn off. But that would be a very nice problem to have. I would say they have a business plan, for the Premier League (i am not jumping the gun here), that takes into consideration the capacity. As a capacity of say 27,000 - 33,000 is perfectly feasible for other teams, it certainly would be sufficient for us. As TV money is more a factor than bums on seats when dealing with the bottom line, the capacity these days, is more of a how can we handle the demand rather than, if we dont fill the stadium we will go bust.

CIDER NOT CIDRE Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Wow, looking very impressive! Makes the ground look square at the moment! Going to be an impressive stadium when the Williams is finished! Very exciting times these. Enjoy it while it lasts fellas and lasses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team In Keynsham Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Last weekend was the first time I had seen the new stand (only other game was earlier this season): can't wait to see the new Williams go up. The place is going to look great, albeit with a sad looking Ateyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Red Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 I ask now that we do not round off all of the corners. I do not want a bowl. Agree. If they ever bother doing the Atyeo i live in hope that it won't be joined up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CITYAREREDANDWHITE Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Agree. If they ever bother doing the Atyeo I have a feeling that if they ever do the atyeo, it will be done similar to the new williams after the houses behind have been brought. It will look a bit like Newcastle if done like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
