bartolona Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 I take it that the wooden seats won't be getting replaced .Did anyone hear whether we got the F.A grant or not?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnysummers Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 hopefully not - you can't sit slightly sideways in those horrible plastic moulded seats - give me a wooden one any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Boy Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 At the Ground yesterday.They are not being replaced but the club are well on with the Premier Club-Chairmans & Gold seating!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 I thought it was something like the end of June when we would find out about the grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted June 9, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 At the Ground yesterday.They are not being replaced but the club are well on with the Premier Club-Chairmans & Gold seating!! Great news!! I don't want my wooden seat replaced, I prefer it to the uncomfortable, sweaty plastic ones. And for those who argue about the look of the stand, they could be painted or wood stained and if the team play well enough, there should be enough bums on seats to make the colour irrelevent.

Guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I was wondering about this myself.There was a football trust grant which would cover the cost of new seats and a new PA system for the ground. CS stated it would only take 2 weeks from the point of getting awarded the grant, so its possible it could still happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 If they were being replaced at the moment, don't you think we would have seen an advert on the main site something like this...____________________________________________________________________________________________-'Don't miss out, own a genuine part of Ashton Gate.A nostalgic keepsake, buy your own wooden seat and keep it forever. Think of all the matches you have enjoyed sat on your piece of history. For a limited time only, available from your super sized club shop for £25, or £35 if you want a certificate of authenticity.

RedM Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Are you on commission?? If they hadn't thought of it, watch it happen now..............Sadly I'm not, but I can't believe the club will let a marketing opportunity go by. If they can sell bricks they can sell bits of wood!I want to keep my wooden seat too, I'm happy to paint it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_red Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 plus the wooden seats don't flip back up when you sit down, when i moved from them it was a biger blow than hugh grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTop Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I don't want my wooden seat replaced. We chose to sit where we did because we find them much more comfortable than the plastic ones.But if they do replace them, I will want to buy mine and would be very disappointed if the club didn't offer me the chance to buy it. I'd much rather get the chance to do so for £25 than not get the chance and see it thrown on a skip. I've spent the best part of 25 years attached to that seat and am sentimentally attached to it. It's not just marketing by the club - it's giving some of us fans what we'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just marketing by the club - it's giving some of us fans what we'd like. In all seriousness, the seats aren't complete individual items, the frames stretch along the row and the backs and tip up seat bases are bolted to them. If you were to buy anything, it would probably only be the wooden slats from the back and the tip up frame with wooden slats. Would that be so appealing?(Unless of course, you have an unfeasibly long lounge to put the whole row in ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, you do get attached to objects, I thought it was just me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTop Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 you do get attached to objectsThat was an unfortunate incident and the hospital were able to remove it quickly. I'd appreciate it if you didn't mention it again.As to the seats, well you'd need both metal struts and a saw to cut the wood. So it'd be fine provided the neighbouring fans didn't want their seat too! In ym case I think I'd be able to get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
