Bristol City Football Club Formed in 1897

Ashton Gate is located in the south-west of Bristol, just south of the River Avon. It has an all-seated capacity of about 21,500, with an effective capacity (depending on how many away tickets are allocated, and how they are segregated) of around 19,100. It was the home of Bedminster F.C. until the 1900 merger, and the merged team played some games there the following season, but it did not become the permanent home of Bristol City until 1904. Visiting fans are housed in the Wedlock Stand at the south-east end of the ground, which was built as a covered terrace in 1928, converted to seats in the 1990s and was the traditional home fans' end until 1994. The Williams Stand on the south-west side, which includes the directors' box and press box, was built in 1958. The lower part of the stand was converted from the Grand Enclosure terracing in the 1990s. The Dolman Stand, which lies opposite it, was built in 1970. At that time it had a small, flat Family Enclosure in front of it, which was later built up and converted to seating. The most recent addition to the stadium is the Atyeo Stand, which was built in 1994 to replace an open terrace, and contains new dressing rooms and a large gymnasium.
