Colombo Robin Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 My first time at the new Ashton Gate tomorrow. Got tickets at the front of the Dolman and just checked the weather. Does the new roof stop the front rows getting soaked like before the rebuild? I'm worried my prawn sandwiches might get soggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prawn sandwiches in the other side if you please Colombo. Us Dolmanites prefer a pasty and a pint! You can always sample a nice glass of Merlot under the stand though.

No. If it's raining, you are getting wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sepp Blatter Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 talking about the new Dolman roof, I think that there should be some writing on it. It looks a bit grey at the moment. I was thinking that "8 men had a dream" would love great on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, 'ASHTON GATE, BRISTOL' should be emblazoned across it IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if they were dreaming it would be that they weren't being asked to tear up lucrative contracts. Basically they got the shaft, but had the decency to help ensure no one else did. There should be some acknowledgement of this somewhere in the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 The Dolman roof needs to be done by Banksy, we all know that - the club even left out some ladders and a broom near the dolman... but he was a no show ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it maybe should be moved to be somewhere more prominent. Possibly by the clock in the Concourse, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never understood the '8 men had a dream lyric' it's a bit like dreaming to being made redundant with no pay off, more of a nightmare to be honest. '8 men saved our team, so that we could dream, tore there contracts up, so we could carry on.' etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard they can sell things in the Sky air atmosphere cloud nowadays with unlimited item shelf storage - hoping that BCFC wake up and utilize the space.
