Obviously it’s not as exciting as a brand new stadium or a £10m signing but I think the ground improvement work is very impressive. It’s still FP but more convenient.
We have actually caught up about 25 years in the last couple in terms of our facilities so well done to all concerned sez I.
Agree, it's not as exciting as a new end but it's had a lot more work done to it than I realised like the extension of the gangway at the back.

Its a complete bodge. Every stand has obstruced views apart from the FE.
If anyone is content with that then you obviously have no ambition like our owners

Some obstructed views aren't as embarrassing as the Milton End bogs were.

I’ve already apologised profusely for that! Serves me right for going to Ken’s before the game waning to relive my uni days.

£12 million. That's an awful lot of polish

Given we have lost some of the bigger teams in the division and the ability to configure the Milton End 1000, 2000 or 3000 away fans should be a good few games next season where we have plenty of home fans in the Milton end - well from Autumn anyway.

can anyone clarify why they kept referring to having 100 or so fans test out the milton end for the Forest Green game .....when the Carabao cup game in August vs Forest Green is an away game?

I not sure if it was definitely Forest Green at home but last season they had a match when they sold 100 tickets for the Milton End as a test event for licensing purposes before the opened it more generally later in the season to home fans

Milton end was looking very impressive yesterday only the North East corner to complete not sure if safe standing was being used as Bristol supporters were mostly standing anyway
Certainly a vast improvement over the previous stand

Yep agreed the Milton End is really taking shape now and once it’s completed will be a decent place to watch a game of football.
