Guest CHL Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Have to admit can't wait for them to knock it down. No backs on seats, supporting pillars. Really is a shoddy stand and ruined the overall look of the ground having watched the game on sky plus last night. The dolman and atyeo looked impressive but imagine what a nice new big stand would look like. Would make the gate awesome looking. Though thank God they replaced those ugly wooden seats. Shame they can't spend a few extra bob and sort out the bottom tier though. The top half of the Dolman looked like 2007, the bottom half 1987. Oh well it could be worse, could have to stand at the mem in the pouring rain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I think the poster meant it looks outdated, which it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Red Rich Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Yes, it does look very outdated. However, our plans for a new stand look to have found themselves filed away somewhere very far away, probably soon to be joined by the R*vers new stadium plans!!!

forbespm Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 i was in the williams,not a brilliant atmosphere in there but the cheapest tickets.i,d much rather be in the east end.i agree the lack of fans in there made it stand out like a sore thumb.

SUPER REDS Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Yes chatting to Man City fans since there move they have no end now,and they miss it,only a few regular songs song,as from them last night. Credit to the lads last night in the E/E probably out numbered by 4 to 1 Man City fans but still sang longer diferent songs and probably as loud keep it up lads its working the whole ground was singing again last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringbacktherobin Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 You could actually buy tickets for the east end on the night, if they continue to sell them then they will be sold at the last hatch on the DOLMAN TICKET SALES HUT.I would still rather have a stand like the East End than the Ateyo, but its good were all different otherwise it would be boring.

Riaz Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I would still rather have a stand like the East End than the Ateyo,I've said it before, but why not give the atyeo to away fans??!! Especially now they shut the gates!!Shyte atmosphere in there anyway..... and would improve the grounds capacity (by not having seats covered for segregation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPER REDS Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 This is why its ridiculous they have siad E/E only for overflow,then tickets are for sale on the night far end of the Dolman huts perhaps at last they are considering the lost income,if the E/E had been open I reckon another 250 fans would of gone in there,I think they think supporters sit anywhere but they do not have a preffered stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPER REDS Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 To be fair mate it has not had a fair chance,I agree season ticket sales were dissapointing but the QPR game was about 700 I say,so thats not bad out of 1000 available,I am sure if City kept it open it would have 500 to 1000 regular in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EASTEND WURZEL Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Well i enjoyed myself last night, and well done to everyone in there sang yer hearts out for the boys!!! but i must say i was very dissapointed with gate 14500 for a premiership side, not very good was it?. so glad i bought a season ticket now.

bristolcityup Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Have to remember though this was only a carling cup game, man city had a weakned side out (although they looked good on the night), around £23 a ticket, night match, game on Sky ect..

Flaxbourton Red Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I agree.And be assured, if Sexstone is involved in it, it won't happen - Bungle will screw it up then claim it as an outstanding illustration of how he saved the club a fortune.coco the clown has got a lot to answer for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CHL Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I don't understand this obsession with the east end. It is so shoddy, you cant see a thing and no backs to the seats. What is the point. I'd rather watch a decent game from a good position. Rather than from a cow shed. What a waste of money. Can't even hear the taxi load of City fans in there anyway. Sorry guys.

bringbacktherobin Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 CHL, why do you want backs to your seats when people in there are stood up anyway. Also, people don't knock where you want to watch the game from so why knock other peoples?Some people perfer to be in that stand, where they find it easier to stand and sing. If that isnt for you then thats fine but i don't see why it should effect you.glos boy it is true, i rang up to get a ticket for my mate a few hours before kick off, put on the, its for a mate comon help him out act.Went to pick up the ticket and they were selling them!!

Can't even hear the taxi load of City fans in there anyway( Not surprising when your sitting at home watchen it on SKy). Sorry guys.Have you been to the two home games his season, because the EE has been the catalyst for there rest of the ground on many occastions. Yes the numbers have been low,but they would be higher if the club would pull there finger out. I'm sure if you ask the people who are in there, have they enjoyed where they are sitting this season? you will get a resounding answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATTBCFC Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Because people don't want to move from a seat giving a decent view with decent facilities to one giving a crap view with crap facilities.The low numbers in the East End when it has been available (not withstanding the clubs c**k-ups) is a clear pointer to just a few wanting to sit there.Spot on. Why should I give up my seat which is one of the best views I have had in AG in the Atyeo to go and sit in some run down shed with metal supports in the way ??? Just so the few that do want to sit there get their way !?Some of the pro EE guys on here are so blinkered with their views - I loved it in its prime, I used to satnd on the EE, but now its time to move on, improve our ground and capacity.

barry_mack Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 What is the point in improving a ground/capacity if it has no effect on the players? Unless you are Sexton, the only reason would be for The 12th man effect, which almost completely comes from the Eastend. You can see how the Eastend has a knock on effect on other stands when it comes to generating an atmosphere and getting behind the boys and it was no wonder when it was reopened at the end of last season that the players ran to the eastend to applaud the fans. You might see it as blinkered, but you are in the minority, as opposed to the rest of us, including players and manager who beleive it is the way forward.

EXETER RED Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 CHL, I have to agree with you about the state and veiw from the EE. But i bloody love it in there, I love the atmosphere, I love to sing my heart out, I love to lift the team, I love to try and out sing the away support, I love to try and intimidate the away team, You can take the roof off in the winter and I will be in there singing with my Boveril.But to be honest CHL it being open has made a diff erance to the atmosphere at the gate, even for you guys who see it on the telly.......

Guest DanC Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Yea the East End does stick out like a sore thumb but not for the reasons you suggest. It sticks out due to the fantastic support it gives the team for the whole match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STA-BS14 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 dolman b was outstanding last night, belting out song after song.as was said on an earlier thread, the club stopped people buying tickets for the EE for man city game, to be honest it looked embarrassing to have what must of been 100 ish in there against 1500 man city?
