Red Army 75 Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 We have moved from the Atyeo. To the south stand. I'm really looking forward to the noise being created Saturday . The SS was loud at times last season. Hopefully with more singers in there the atmosphere will be better. Looking forward to it
RedLionLad Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 It will encourage fans in the Dolman and Lansdown to join in more often. Just hope the naughty C word isn't used too often.
Robin Goch Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 As a South Stander I can't wait for the Atyeo to join us. At times the atmosphere was cracking in the South Stand but hopefully now it'll be constant!

UREDS_91 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I take it we can stand in the new "singing section" also can someone confirm its unreserved... Just want to double check incase someone tries to move me on if i'm sat in their season ticket seat.

But there will be a relaxed attitude to it.

Carey 6 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I have a feeling the section the Atyeo have moved to will be ridiculously busy on Saturday. Lots now know you can buy a ticket anywhere in the ground & get around to it unlike before in the Atyeo. Unless the club have plans in place to stop this, can see it being the busiest part of the ground.

I think this may be the case too, need stewards checking tickets on the stairs at least, but this is what they did in the Williams so I would assume the same procedure will be followed.

No barriers or anything stopping you from walking from S20 (where I was last year) to S26. Unless it has been changed. You cant walk from the Dolman side into the SS as it isnt connected (dividing wall)

I was quoting Redlionlad by highlighting specific text and it's been mistakenly attributed to @Bar BS3. Sorry, mate. Agree. Aimed at our fans it's divisive but as we all sit together now, let's hope it won't happen. Don't really like it in a chant at away fans either tbh. For me if tiu you going to use it it should be delivered in person face to face. It demands that kind of reverence.

If you enter via the wrong "exit" for your block, you have to go back to the concourse and back up through the right one for your block. Maybe that's different in the SS.

Bar BS3 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I don't mean this as a dig, I think it will be great to have the S82 lot in amongst the rest of the support and hope it will add to the noise and spread around the rest of the ground, however, I hope they (some, not all) respect the fact that they are joining other fans, lose some of their divisive, "we do what we want" attitude and really help make the atmosphere flourish, including all other areas of the crowd, rather than act like knuckle dragging drunks who think that it's still the 1970's/80's.

Have to say we are all city fans. And I have been stood for many seasons and seen hardly any trouble. Probably more in other parts of the ground. As for the c incident. It was the minority . And rightly condemned. Me and my son can't wait for Saturday. And we can all get Ashton gate rocking. Should be good .

As of the end of last season, my ticket was never checked when entering the seating areas from the concourse. It is almost impossible, IMO, to "police" where people sit so it's up to everyone to be responsible and use only the block and seat shown on their ticket.

I clearly don't visit the forum enough as am not aware of the examples you speak of. If you could provide a few so I can have a word with the S82 boys let me know, sure they'll be happy to accomodate. FYI everyone I've spoke to is very keen on the new move and don't get all the negativity. There hasn't been 'proper' trouble in the Atyeo for years. From last season all I can remember is 2 Dutch lads getting chucked out. Can't see there being any issues aside from what existing people in the South Stand choose to make.
