Robbored Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Two questions, 1) has the tannoy speakers in the Dolman been replaced to be compatible with the rest of the new sound set up? 2) where will the SC&T bar be next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point number two, announcement very soon. Agreement with AGL has been signed. I'll just check with someone more senior that we can share the information before I do.

Is that still happening? No, I believe the old tunnel/changing rooms are now being used for the grounds maintenance team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That whole area is already a bit of a mess and whatever happened to the memorial garden? I had a walk past the other week and it doesn't look like any additional work has been carried out.....certainly not externally. The Atyeo external area looks awful now compared to the rest of the ground As far as I could see, the lansdown concourse hasn't had any additional work where I thought at least they would have done the floor and matched the concessions décor in line with the south stand /dolman. Whatever happened to the rugby "clubhouse" they were talking about? 5 hours ago, Nogbad the Bad said: Minor point, but half a dozen of the new Silver Birch lining the brook along Marina Dolman way have died off. As presumably a finishing touch in terms of landscaping, they now look awful. I'm sure Marina would welcome healthy looking replacements for the new season ( and for the groundstaff to water them while they bed in) That whole area will become the main processional walkway to the stadium, with a wide plaza so the ground looks amazing approaching from Winterstoke road, I suspect the Wickes sight will become a small indoor arena for sport (Basketball / badminton) and music. Then the bar / plaza etc will get more use due to more events and sports being played in the area. The other side will become the hotel ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in there when rumours first circulated that SL was buying the land. I asked someone working in there if she'd heard anything . She said the land had been bought by SL and the lease runs out this year . Just a bit surprised nothings been released. Although probably worried about getting their fingers burnt after the AV debacle . Be really interesting to know what else is going to be built apart from a hotel.

RedRock Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Assuming the problem with the Marina Way is the dodgy wall on the Wickes boundary. Think they had fencing up to provide a safe zone in case of collapse. Mindful of the rumours, the thinking may be wait until we get our hands on the Wickes site before doing anything more. Large Birch trees are notoriously difficult to successfully transplant. Really need tlc from lifting to planting and then good after -care. They are tolerant of poor soil though. Lovely trees, but have some of the highest establishment failure rates in the landscape industry. Truly the Lee Tomlin of the tree world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thornbury Red Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 It's one of the best things about first home game of the season. Congregating in our church and spotting all the little changes helps with the anticipation for the new season. Usually in ruins after twenty minutes of the game starting but that's another Topic!

Up the stairs like you are going to where we first had a space, but instead of turning right at the top of the stairs, you'll turn left, and we're in there. We'll have our own bar, plus security in terms of not being shoved out of the space, provided bar takings maintain an acceptable level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not I would like my stuff back that I donated to the club and I expect others would as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
