Nice to hear that Messrs Al Qadi and Hamer continued their visit to other stadia (such as MK Dons) with a look around Ashton Gate this week.
It is good to see they are willing to look around at designs and facilities to pick up ideas, see what works, what doesn't, what could be incorporated in our design, and what tweaks or lessons learned they can take back.
I've not been to Ashton Gate for several seasons (might well go to a few Bristol rugby games now though) but I'm hearing it looks good and the bar area has received a big thumbs up.
I'm hoping they really look at the spectator facilities: like sightlines (Dribuild anyone!), concourses, and just the general ambience created. Things like how the bar areas are decorated, pictures of former teams and players around the concourses.
I really like the atmosphere that builds up, pre-match, behind the North Bank at the Mem, and when I mentioned outside facilities and landscaping at the UWE to the previous regime it appeared they were more concerned with getting the maximum car-parking space in before anything like that.
Wembley is a case in point with the grass banks outside and children's play area.
