I enjoy food from most cultures...my least favourite being North American. They'll deep fry everything. I like Tapas...because it's social and tasty and can be eaten from bar to bar. So many types of Tapas too EMB...perhaps he's just cooking stuff not to your liking. It's so varied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried tapas back in the late 80's in and around Marbella and up in Mijas and more out lying areas of the mountains, tried it all of the Canary islands, I just think that it's overrated, my son always says one day somebody like Jamie Oliver will boil a turd in his own piss and people will say they enjoy it, it seems to be the world that we live in. 3 minutes ago, spudski said: I had that in Orlean...agreed ;-) Like you you I have tried tapas and continue to do so, just not a fan, I have tried andouillette, so at least I am coming from a position of strength, I know people who hate fish but never eaten as much as a sardine, which really is strange imo. Tonight I had a foie gras, apple and cranberries in a pie and it was delicious and will I buy that again from the deli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 If this is a Bristol City bar for Bristol City fans, can we agree that there are to be the same number of Will.i.am 2 flags as there are references to Bristol Rugby. I understand that various fans have a connection to both. And we don't want SCENES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumRed Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 What's this thread? In summary I guess 1. Some people have had nice holidays, lifestyles and would love to tell us about them. (I'll get the kodiak carousel ready next time) 2. Some people like foreign food, some don't. However what counts as foreign these days is questionable 3. I bet the lot going on about andoulleitte weren't bought up on tripe and onions, pretentious hipsters 4. Willem II is still a thing. 5. If the bar gets built it will be a bar like any other apart from being covered in DC wxxxs dogs stickers. 6. Mary Berry - that's the tricky one but probably yes.

T R Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I'd like to know exactly how much floor space we actually have because looking at these plans they look different in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I'm very surprised the club is going to hand over space that is only going to be used perhaps once a fortnight for a couple of hours to a relatively small group of fans, ( by small I mean the capacity it could take not the number of 82 ultras or whatever the latest name is) I know for a fact that even with a huge expanded ground internal space is a premium thst has to be paid and accounted for, are you sure the club is donating this space for 'free' as such or will they want some sort of paid membership? Also the club are providing an area for the rugby and the SC and Trust people too, more likely all 3 groups will end up sharing the same space, though obviously in the rugby so case not on the same days, but thought will have to be given to decor. Maybe some of the supporters Trust people won't want to sit looking at stickers and slogans for example. Will children be admitted, again as far as the club are concerned they will want it 'toned down'. People are often shown around the ground, they will want the area suitable for all eyes to see. Will items have to be removed and stored in between matches like the current arrangement is now for the stand, this will let the club use the area for other things I between times, believe me if they can sell as space they will! If for example someone puts up a picture, flag etc, perhaps something rare or sentimental, whose property does it become in event of fire or theft, is it covered by insurance. Is it loaned or donated, big difference. What if a cleaner throws it into a skip?!!! No doubt much of this has already been thought of and discussed, but just trying to raise a few issues which may not have been thought of but will need sorting. Never take anything for granted, those Gasheads at least have taught us watertight is never watertight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never take anything for granted, those Gasheads at least have taught us watertight is never watertight! As said before the pub/bar would be open to all who wish to use it and not an S82 project this is why it is a must a door enterance is fitted via the car park, the bar/pub is said to add to current facilities at Ashton gate but also help to replace what some fans feel they have lost and it will give fans more choice. The rugby club can use it but it has to be said it will be a dedicated Bristol city football club decor orientated and let's be fair there are many fans who support both rugby and football so it should not be a problem and also Bristol rugby are to get a dedecated area in the new lansdown stand which I feel won't get taken up or down for matches of each sport, likewise this new Atyeo bar/pub. Adding to the choice the supporters club and trust are to move back to their old dolman bar space which free's up premium space at the south stand end for all the cooperate, hospitality and party functions which eases all the up and down time to these areas. These new areas have been asked for since the old supporters club went from the old Williams stand so this is nothing new or an S82 demand and also speaking to many I know sat in the old A block dolman say they are missing the old facilities within short distance to their seats i.e. The old dolman bar and Harry's bar which is now said to be a concourse of unappealing empty space, no chairs or tables or a homely feel to it. The club will not be handing over the space persay for free as I am sure they will still have a say on what is sold and would take money from the bar, this is more a project for a fans bar/pub area to get those involved in the decor and giving a missing piece back to Ashton gate. When the first meetings appeared about the redevelopment the questions were asked "how can we get fans out of the pubs and off the park wall from buying in the local off licence" and all this was given back then long before S82 and in those meetings the sports bar and grill was supposed to be the new Wedlock bar? But it was said give the fans a reasonable price on food and drink and some areas that reflect the mood, feel and ambience of some of the pubs of north and west street and fans will come and drink early at Ashton gate,, that said the car park area and sports bar and grill is ok (I like some of the bands that play) and it is suited to a fair group of fans but all we are asking is for this last small bit to finish it off for all types of supporters and we are almost there..

Interested to hear that the Dolman supporters bar is to be reopened, where is the access to that now? I would be surprised if the guys who drink on the wall will go in the bar, I've always assumed they like the fresh air (so they can smoke), and the cheapish prices of the off licence (or BYO). Are you expecting the drinks prices to be lower or the same as the existing bar prices? I have read a number of times that anyone and everyone is welcome to contribute ideas to this facility, I was wondering how many people attend the meetings with the club as I have to confess I've never seen a meeting advertised? Personally I would like to see a Lions mark 2, I only go in for the occasional pint on a match day, but the way the place is decorated is spot on.

I think the members of the supporters club and trust may have more of an update about the Dolman bar. As for expected lower prices not really expecting anything just stating the obvious to the question that was put to us about how to get more fans in to Ashton gate before kick off using the facilities and certain ambiance and prices do help, although the odd drinks promotion wouldn't go amiss and that's for all over the ground. Agreed with the three lions deccor as it does strike up conversations when looking at the pictures and quotes on the walls. The meetings do get advertised on this forum from time to time for those interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septic Peg Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 @Dollymarie @Blagdon red Any news on Dolman bar aka SC&T bar? For what it's worth, I think that if we can get skittles teams in again (guaranteed revenue twice a week if not more), darts teams and offer up Atyeo bar for rental for informal parties/gatherings etc, I think it would make money easily.

Southstandoriginal Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 So if the bar is take up about half the space then either the police/stewards or groundsman / maintenance will have to be accommodated elsewhere.

Very achievable, in the club I am on the committee with in WSM, we've just had an additional skittle alley built. Basically it's dropped into the floor, which is then covered when not in use - think Rising Sun has something similar too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
