The Swan and Cemetery Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Was at the other end. City loud throughout and very, very loud at points. Must have kept the 11 on the field going as their legs started to turn to jelly. Didn’t think Man City were all that bad, just a typical home crowd when team playing rubbish (by their standards).

Harry Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Sometimes with such a large support spread across the whole end AND two tiers, the atmosphere can suffer - often you’ll have one group singing one song in the top left, another group singing another song bottom right etc. But for some unknown reason it just all seemed to come together last night, with almost every song spreading across the whole away end.

Dogged, gusty, determined, just like last night. Scoring first sending the massed hordes behind the goal into ruptures, just like last night. For the young un's last night, that's what Forest away was like. 'Bouncing round the ground' the equivalent of all the surging on the terraces. Magical nights that we'll never forget.

Hi Matt, You might be aware already, but many people are pretty frustrated by the apparent rules we are bound by via SAG which apparently mean it’s unsafe to have the stadium internal lights lowered during play at night games. In mine and I believe many other people’s opinion, it makes the football viewing at these night games a far worse experience. You can’t fully relax and concentrate. It’s distracting and sometimes the glare can be really offputting. I appreciate the club has stringent health and safety rules to abide by, but this one seems really unnecessary.

spudski Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 What pleased me the most last night, was how much the fans got behind the team, when Man City were bossing it around our box and knocking it about trying to find an opening. We were so organised and composed. The more we closed a move down, the more the fans reflected what they were witnessing with loud raw passion. The fans felt like another defender on the pitch.

I’ve had Man City fans contact me to say the same. People have also commented about how good it was to hear our fans rally immediately and get behind the team when Man City equalised. It does make a difference and I think on the run in for the rest of the season we should all keep that in mind to give the boys that boost. Regarding the lights I’m aware of how fans feel about this. Some of my earliest memories coming to Ashton Gate in the 90’s was when the strip lights would turn off at the start of each half and on again before half time and full time. I have mentioned a few times I’m in the process of compiling buckets of feedback to then sit down with the right people to discuss further. The lighting question is already on there so rest assured it will be addressed by me.

I appreciate that and the fast response. It’s good you can relate to the issue as a spectator because in my opinion it really detracts from the viewing experience. I’m sure you’ve got lots on your plate all at once but would be great to have this raised when you get the chance to pool together all the feedback. Thanks again.

Matt @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO Hi matt regarding the lighting issue, SAG have come up with an excuse that they leave the lights on to help the fans see down the steps. Could you find out why this group have allowed the club to paint the edges of the steps black? which are now wearing away. Before the redevelopment they used to be yellow for health & safety reasons. In the event of a powercut during a night game it helps fans see more clearly down the steps. That's why the emergency gates on the pitch are painted yellow. Could you ask SAG to get the steps repainted in either white or yellow please? I do feel they have overlooked this issue. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
