Bristol Sport, the body responsible for the £45million rebuild of Bristol City's Ashton Gate Stadium, have just appointed main contractors for the project. The redevelopment is expected to take two years and it will transform Ashton Gate into a 27,000 capacity multi-use stadium and one of the largest conference and events venues in the south west of England.
The scheme consists of three separate phases to the Wedlock, Dolman and Williams Stands. The first phase will see the existing 86 year-old Wedlock Stand demolished and completely rebuilt, with new conference facilities, administration offices, a sports bar, café and shops.
The decision to redevelop the Ashton Gate Stadium was taken after the club pulled out of plans to build a new stadium on Ashton Vale.
