Any extra for away fans - just in case we hang on to your coat tails!

 

[Quedgeley exile]

No. Away capacity will be same as this season.

 

[Modernist]

Pity they can't but the houses behind that little stand and get it redeveloped, it will look like a poor relation.

 

[PUSBCCFC]

Your situation is more an ownership problem rather than the stadium itself bringing you misfortune, no?

A mixture.

For those that have been to the Gate and have some idea of the existing stand sizes, this is a good example of the sheer scale of the new bits, taken a few days ago (the gap is almost filled now). Bear in mind the stand replacing the old Williams stand will be twice the height of the one currently being built.

Was there today, coming along quite quickly now!

So I gather. Unfortunately, I'm working in the grim north (Barnsley ) until tomorrow so haven't seen the rapid progress but hope to have a good nose on Saturday.

I was waiting for someone to add this photo. It's a great view which gives a scale that ground level shots don't. Based on the size of the new South Stand, the replacement for the Williams is going to be enormous. I can't wait!

I've been to Ashton Gate a couple of times this season when home and the new stand seemed big, this makes you realise though just how big it actually is and how big the new Williams is going to be, its going to be fantastic!

Seats?

Seats?

Great pics Tim!!

 

[Walkley_Owl]

As much as I take the piss that's looking good pretty good, will miss that old East end though, always enjoyed my trips to AG.

 

[Ciderup]

Hmmmmm...

 

[TTOCS]

Very cheap, 300 pounds for 23 days entertainment.

Totally agree bud. The change from u16's to u12's is a pain in the arse for me as my little un is 13 in November!
I might try the Atyeo again next year or possibly the new stand. No chance of getting a seat in the Dolman / east stand with all the Williams ST holders relocating.
S24 is a strange one as well.

 

[JJ1532]

Interesting to see you've switched the corners in which the away fans will be located in the Ateyo. Any reason for that?

I also find the mixed pricing for the Dolman amusing. What happens if you sit in an aisle seat in E32 or E30 that neighbours E29 or E33? You pay £429 whilst someone who sits across the aisle from you pays £30 less. Doesn't seem quite right.

The Atyeo move is because Cott's doesn't want away fans around the tunnel as they are at the moment. Once the new West stand is up the tunnel will move anyway.
As for the Dolman, the middle 3 blocks have always been dearer for some reason.
A question for my fellow reds if it's ok.
If I'm a ST holder in the Atyeo, the way I read the priority list, I cannot renew in the Atyeo as an early bird but can move to the South stand. It appears only the ex EE'ers who moved into the Williams can get Atyeo tickets as an early bird. Is that right or am I reading it wrongly?

 

[TTOCS]

Yes you are right Tim. Im in a difficult position again...
As an ex Wedlock STH from reopening until 12/13 I moved to Atyeo as a carer for 13/14. The chap I looked after for that season no longer goes, and as I didnt count as an EE transfer it meant I couldn't join my mates in the Williams singing section for this season. It seems the same situation will arise again for 15/16, very frustrating.

Also not sure what that s24 is all about? Anyone know?

 

[Indian Dan]

Very decent ST prices, them - especially for Championship football.

£425 for me at the CG - but then, we've got all these court cases to pay for!

I'm in a similar situation. As an ex EE'er, I missed out on a ticket in F block so bought one in the Atyeo (although I tend to get tickets from friends for F block quite a lot). If the EE'ers move to the Atyeo, like you I'm screwed as I can't get an early bird in there and there probably won't be any left when general sale is reached.

 

[TTOCS]

I'm gonna ring up on the first day and hopefully someone will see sense, instead of a computer says no approach. Don't fancy sitting on my larry again.

 

[Ciderup]

I'm leaning towards a family ticket in the Dolman 'wings' for £450 for the 2 of us.
EDIT: Scrub that, I can't even do that as an early bird!

 

[JJH]

U19's price been doubled, but apart from that - pretty damn good.

Where are away fans going when the new stand gets built anyway

The same place as they'll be next season. Left side of the Atyeo.

£5 a game for me in the new South Stand if I get a ST. Not sure if I will, but that's fantastic value for someone that's 20 years old. Credit to the club, it's the right approach - low prices for younger people are needed now that we're deep into the Sky generation. Love that they're handing out free replica shirts to the young 'uns, too many kids with Arsenal, Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea shirts in Bristol.

I hope the club promote the prices through schools and other suitable means.

 

[TheGas]

Surely when your new capacity is over 20,000 you can't keep getting away with giving away fans 900 tickets ?

They'll be on the opposite site of the Atyeo to this year. I reckon it's at least 1500 seats, probably 2000.

 

[City169]

I might be able to blag a U19 ticket but doubt it, was 2 weeks too old to get the U17 as it was for last season, but the U21 ticket price is still pretty good. Just need to work out if i will be able to come back from uni enough to make it worthwhile

What is S24?
