D.A.N. Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi all City fans, from a footy fan from Denmark I'm usually a follower of Brondby and Liverpool, but tomorrow I'll be in Bristol and I'm going to come along and support the Robins! So far as I can tell I can just turn up and buy tickets for the game, right? Looking at the official site it seems that there is usually a choice of seating areas -- where's the best place to go? (for atmosphere first, then somewhere when i can actually see the match without having a damn pillar in the way --- yes, that means you Everton...)You guys seem to be flying after your promotion! Congratulations (early day...), and here's hoping you go all the way!p.s. don't ask about Brondby this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fka dagest Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I hope you enjoy the game Dan. You can just turn up. Imo, the Dolman Stand gives the best view, but it's pricey too.How's Soren Andersen doing these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Youell Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 You should be able to get a ticket anywhere (except for the eatend that's for season tickets only) as I doubt it's going to be a sell out.It's up to the type of view you want i guess.I'd suggest either the Ateyo or Doleman stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringbacktherobin Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Get youself in the wedlock stand for a bit of atmosphere.O no wait the club wont let you do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Best atmosphere would appear to be the East End judging by reports from the people in there, but you may struggle to get a ticket as nobody seems to know for sure when and where they go on sale. Also, this stand offers one of the worst views of the game in all football.The official home end is the Atyeo stand but for the best combination of atmosphere and view I'd recommend Block B of the Dolman, most of the noise seems to come from towards the back. Other areas of the Dolman are more sedate but if you manage a seat in the middle of D Block it's one of the best views of the game available.Avoid the Williams like the plague if you don't like pillars.

Sir Colby-Tit Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi D.A.NIf you do come along please do not stand, smoke or swear. These things might be acceptable in Denmarkland, but are positively frowned upon here. Polite clapping will suffice thank you very much.PS How are Brondby doing?

D.A.N. Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Well thanks all, I think I'll be avoiding the Williams stand then, and just see how it goes with the other choices -- thanks for the tips and help knowing which end is the proper home end etc!Søren Andersen, well he came back to Denmark and played at OB I think and then back to his original team AGF. He got injured playing against the great beast (FCK) and retired I'm afraid -- that was some years ago.I have noted your points Sir Colby-Tit (and pipe smoking salesman...) I will just have to get by with a few relaxing beers in the stands then (oh, we're in England now... *sigh*). As for Brondby... dare I say 'relegation form'? *gulp* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringbacktherobin Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 D.A.NThe wedlock stand (east end) is where you want to try and get ticket if you want the proper home end. It will be hard as they probably wont sell you one but its worth a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Any of Blocks E-H in the Atyeo offer a good view behind the goal as well as a bit of an atmosphere or, failing that, go for either Block A or B in the Dolman but that's a side view of the game. The Williams is sedate at the best of times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wackojacko14 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Yea the Dolman Block B is pretty good, try to get high though, if its hot you don't want to be in the sunlight, trust me, learn from my mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Tin, isnt that where the boy boys sit?! It was once upon a time... until you had enough and moved out of the area! I reckon it's only cos of the free tickets that you're back and loving it at the moment! "Where were you when we were shit?!" Atmosphere my ass Tin, haven't heard you so far this season or you singing with your heads in buckets so we cant hear! HahaDon't get me started on you Jason! You're the most feeble singer I've ever seen.
