    Re: What is the new and improved Ashton Gate like?

    a totally different ground to when I last visited ashton gate in the 90s (it was a dump then) and we was frog matched in and out of the ground like cattle and us away fans were housed in the corner that evening
    Saturday we was given a whole end behind the goal i think enough room for around 2500-2800 half decent capacity
    not a bad ground to look at from the stands the 4 stands are different heights
    facilities though under the stand were shockingly poo well the away end anyway
    acoustics very poor (couldn't quite hear much sound coming from the other 3 stands)
    also the PA system was terrible
    getting in and getting out of the ground was not a problem
    the staff were friendly

    Past the flats that they used to chuck tins of baked beans at us now that was a walk and a 1/2, one trip in the early 90's we must have been walking for over 1 hour, some were worried we were going to get back to the bridge

    he did that's right Matt
    I think it was Carl Dale who scored for us
    we really took a beating on the pitch that evening
    could of been Mark Grew in goal for us I'm not sure on that
