The atmosphere is also good I recently took an American to watch the Norwich game he described the experience as awesome. Hopefully your visit to Ashtongate is as awesome. Atmosphere in the Lansdown is good? There isn’t one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wife and I (American Bristol City fans) will be attending our first match vs Rotherham! We are looking at W15 in Landsdown, or E31 in Dolman. Would the experience be much different between the two? Or are there any other recommendations? Appreciate any help that can be provided! How tall are you both? The leg room isn't up to much in the Dolman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have numb knees by half time where they are squashed up against the seat in front. I worked with a women a few years back who had a false leg, and she used to book extra leg room seats on a plane, sounds fair enough, but she was only 5ft tall!

There isn’t one I find when sitting in the Lansdown the atmosphere is good as you can really take in the rest of the grounds atmosphere from that vantage point, even if there isn't any atmosphere actually created from the Lansdown itself if that makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 Should've created a poll I'd say Lansdown, if you're still reading. Nicer, newer etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good view but Dolman be more proper fans I would say . I had season tickets in the Dolman. Great view but what ever the weather is on the day. It blows right in your face Enjoy the game He’s from Chicago , “The Windy City”, so he won’t notice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBW Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 Go in the Lansdown stand. More legroom, more modernised and just a more comfortable experience. You can walk around the whole concourse pre-game so can see what the whole stadium is about that way. More interested in how you became fans though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WECANDO Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 17 hours ago, Dollymarie said: I’d say Lansdown because that side of the stadium is newer. (no offence to anyone in the Dolman, don’t all jump on my head! ) No way. Dolman better. I'm in E30 some 6 rows from the front. Superb view and close to the players especially with throw ins. Also we look at the Lansdown which is a brilliant view. Also like getting soaked when it rains hard. ?. Just renewed our 4 season tickets so all set up for our promotion season.

Open End Numb Legs Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 I went to a club baseball game (Yankees) when in NY once, we got caught out by the US national anthem being sung before the game. We were unsure what to do, hot dog in one hand, beer in the other. In the end we just stood respectfully until it finished. Just to say don't worry about our national anthem, that is only sung at international matches. Might want to brush up on The Worzels lyrics though.

Welcome to Bristol City, I would definitely say the Dolman as I think the view is better but probably not a huge difference. I'm a fan of the Bears and Cubs so great to see Chicagoans making the trip over the pond. Bristol is a great City so I'm sure you'll have a great despite the football Ashton Gate once had the claim to fame of hosting an American Football game but a lot of the stadium has changed sine then...

(Perhaps it was posted in my weeks enforced sabbatical) 15 years in Naperville and I was on my own. Now Lake Geneva (if you are from Chicago you know) There are a tonne of us across America who come over a lot and post here and one regular in Milwaukee! Have fun at the game today! COYRs!
