Intent is there to widen efforts into the Dolman via the Atyeo pub and lower Dolman.

It is hoped that the Atyeo may make Bristol City and Bristol Sport look further at what it does e.g. club policies within other stands to help create a more vibrant fan culture at BCFC. 2 minutes ago, WTMS said: Check Harrys detailed post regarding the corner of the Dolman. That arguement does not hold for me, A&B are pretty full so again no room to expand. It's highly unlikely any pub wouldn't allow Dolman fans in as it would reach capacity pretty quickly with the Atyeo fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 All seems to be getting a bit silly to me. Is there no way the Atyeo seating configuration can be reorganised to safely facilitate home and away supporters - like what they tried to do when creating that narrow strip of segregated seating, but much less of a bodge job?

Ideas presented to Bristol Sport in December were that the Pub would be open to anybody. So clearly the intent is to include others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The City! Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 As a former EE going in the Atyeo just doesn't sit right with me. The SS is my traditional end. Others views may have changed but not mine. Once an Eastender always an Eastender.The Ee is my traditional home and the SS is a worthy replacement and has great potential to be a proper home end. When the Atyeo is replaced it will be when were in the prem. That could be in as little as a season. Fans will find themselves homeless and without an area as the rest of the ground will be sold out. The Atyeo will also be a very corporate stand to take advantage of our position in the premier by maximizing income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a few hundred is all you're basing this alleged fraternal link on then that's hardly a ringing endorsement of it's popularity among a fan base in the tens of thousands really, is it. The club have been pretty consistent in their apathy towards it too, it would seem. It's great that a few of you get a decent welcome over there in Willemsburg but that doesn't really add up to much imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Above all it has been fun. It adds a bit of interest to a traditionally under performing club, or part of what is our club. It is more fun than commercial links with Interflora or Morphy Richards .. Lot more fun. Long may it continue and grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you start a new thread aimed at everyone that wants to create an atmosphere but won't be going in the Atyeo? You could all put your heads together and pick a block, say one of the back ones in the SS and all agree to get season tickets in that block. There might not be enough interest to make it worthwhile but there's no harm in finding out, there seems to be a lot of people on here who want a singing section in the SS so you never know. It would be great to have a noisy group of fans at both ends of the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 My one genuine fear about the dialogue between the club and various groups, is that it will ultimately result in the current group that sing and create an atmosphere in the Atyeo, being divided still further. They'll get shunted around again and again, until they tire and give up. It's highly likely that the club will use another excuse to re-locate that group again next season. It'll be away from the Atyeo, probably claiming excessive costs for stewarding in that stand, if there's no segregation required, that'll mean less stewards and less cost to the club. Peoples noses are going to be put out no matter where they end up going. If they don't decide to do it themselves this year, I fear there'll be nowhere offered to them as a group, and there won't be anywhere large enough to locate them which is acceptable to the club. The club will then release a statement saying "BCFC have tried their best to accommodate this group of supporters over the years, while listening to and trying to keep them together during the difficult period of redevelopment of the stadium but, there's now nothing more that can be done without affecting our other supporters adversely. We will do our best to keep friends together wherever possible and recommend that they contact our liaison officer with their requests as soon as possible". You are an endangered species, the club are getting shot of you, grab the bull by the horns and take the initiative. Take the South Stand, make it yours.

But wouldn't it be like one of those AFC football clubs like FC United? Which group would be the real Eastenders? The current group already had the numbers and our know. I would rather be one United group rather than two divided groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider head Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I think i will reflect on what has been done and is being done and which we will continue in the Atyeo as it is working and I am fed up with trying to break things that just are not broken and fed up with moving around. http://s1303.photobucket.com/user/LionsBS3/slideshow/S82%20Flags%20Banners?sort=3 Rather not go with hot air of what i should be doing when others are not doing but just talking, 9 pages of talk while lads are busy with flags, banners, stickers and wanting the best atmosphere they can for this Saturday which does mean big st george flag surfer going in the Dolman (anyone care to help?). Much goes in to that little minority they call the Atyeo, a lot of work goes in to it just to give it up now. Expansion means the whole ground getting off their arses and taking part, doing something and maybe then other fans won't have to look at 1,000 odd being relied on to light the fuse paper.. If want an atmosphere the get off your back sides and create it,,ALL OVER ASHTON GATE.. If you don't leave them be to get on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main problem I see is that the lower dolman is still fairly expensive (up to £38) for frankly a poor view, trying to get people to group together there could be difficult. The idea is nice, but practicality could be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
