Bristol Rugby played there on a number of occasions since the 1920s, one occasion being on 27 December 2006 when they defeated local rivals Bath Rugby 16 -- 6 whilst selling out the stadium for an all - time record Premiership crowd outside of Twickenham. Several rugby internationals have been held, starting with England versus Wales in 1899. 100 years later, the All Blacks took on Tonga in a 1999 Rugby World Cup pool match. As of the 2014 -- 2015 season, Bristol Rugby permanently moved to Ashton Gate. It has hosted two England under - 21 international friendlies. The first was against Romania 's under - 21s on 21 August 2007.

Current stands Lansdown Stand The West Stand was completed in time for the start of the 2016 -- 17 season and when it was completed was renamed The Lansdown Stand in honour of the majority shareholder, Stephen Lansdown, who funded the Ashton Gate redevelopment. It marked the completion of the redevelopment of Ashton Gate and the Lansdown Stand is the largest in the stadium and has a capacity of 11,000. It has two tiers and is equipped with multiple executive boxes. The roof is covered in solar panels to provide a renewable energy source to power the entire stadium. The stand houses the tunnel, team benches, and beneath the stand are the changing rooms and offices. 3 blocks of the upper tier of the Landsdown stand is designated as the family area for football matches, and 1 block of the lower tier is designated as the family area for rugby matches. Dolman Stand The Dolman Stand, which lies opposite the Lansdown Stand, was built in 1970, making it the oldest stand at Ashton Gate. At that time it was built it had a small, flat Family Enclosure in front of it, which was later built up and converted to seating. In the summer of 2007, the original wooden seats in the upper area were replaced by modern plastic seats. It is named after the former club chairman and president Harry Dolman. This stand was redeveloped over the summer of 2015 as part of the redevelopment of Ashton Gate and has a capacity of around 6,200. Atyeo Stand The Atyeo stand is the smallest in the stadium with a capacity of around 4,200. It was built in 1994 to replace an open terrace and still contains the old dressing rooms and a large gymnasium. It is named after Bristol City legend John Atyeo, who played 645 times for City and scored 351 goals, making him the club 's top goalscorer ever. He died in 1993, a year before the new stand opened. After the demolition of the Wedlock Stand, the north - east section of this stand was used to house the away fans. After construction of the Lansdown Stand, away fans were situated in the western three - quarters of the Atyeo stand. The whole stand was made available for away fans from the 2017 / 18 season onwards and is closed for rugby matches.

Former stands Wedlock `` East End '' Stand View from the home section of the Wedlock Stand The old East End was demolished during the summer of 2014 and has been completely rebuilt to modern standards. It was built as a covered terrace in 1928, converted to seats in the 1990s and was the traditional home fans ' end until 1994. It was known as the East End to City fans. Williams Stand The Williams Stand was on the southwest side, which included the directors ' box and press box, and was built in 1958. The lower part of the stand was a terrace known as the Grand Enclosure until it was converted to seating in the 1990s. This stand was also named after a former chairman Des Williams. Demolition of this stand occurred in June 2015 in preparation for rebuilding to modern standards over the course of the next year. Redevelopment of Ashton Gate Following extensive planning and the failed bid to develop a new ground at Ashton Vale, and criticism of the failure of so many major leisure and sporting projects in Bristol, Bristol City finally decided to press ahead with a major redevelopment of the current site at Ashton Gate. This was approved in late 2013, with final clearance given in spring 2014, and work started in May 2014, following the final home fixture of the 2013 -- 14 season. The plans for redevelopment were as follows : Demolition of the existing Williams and Wedlock ( East End ) stands, to be replaced by new, larger stands, with executive boxes. Extension of the existing Dolman stand Shifting of the current pitch by 5 metres to enable the Dolman extension, and a new pitch laid to enable shared use with the rugby club Other works to the ground to bring it in line with modern stadia, with capacity of around 27,000 The works were completed prior to the start of the 2016 -- 17 season.
