I am somewhat confused by the early history as set out here. The infobox says that the stadium was built & opened in 1904, yet the article says "Ashton Gate was the home of Bedminster F.C. until their 1900 merger with Bristol South End who played at St Johns Lane, and the merged team alternated between the two grounds until Ashton Gate become the permanent home of Bristol City in 1904." Can someone clarify this and identify precisely when the stadium was built/opened? An article on St Johns Lane would be interesting as well. Daemonic Kangaroo ( talk) 05:08, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: No consensus. While a numeric majority of participants favored a move, opposing comments were by and large stronger in bringing up compelling arguments against the stadium being the primary topic for the name "Ashton Gate". As such, I find there is no consensus to move the articles. Cúchullain t/ c 17:05, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
– I think the stadium is the primary topic and that the shorter form "Ashton Gate" is its common name, rather than "Ashton Gate Stadium". My proposed naming would also be consistent with other football grounds in Great Britain, such as Anfield (Liverpool FC) and Anfield, Liverpool (its surrounding area) or Easter Road (Hibernian FC) and Easter Road, Edinburgh (a nearby thoroughfare).

Following the decision of no consensus, Jmorrison230582 ( talk · contribs) has now proposed a move at Talk:Ashton Gate. Simply south.... .. disorganising disorganisation for just 7 years 19:17, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved ( non-admin closure) Calidum T| C 01:50, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
– Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The stadium is almost always referred to simply as "Ashton Gate" (see the BBC's usage), and it is clearly the primary topic for "Ashton Gate" – the pageviews for the past 30 days are 3,613 for the stadium, 187 for the railway station, 178 for the district and 69 for the brewery – the stadium accounting for 89% of all page views (if anyone is concerned that the peak a couple of days ago skews the figures, the December page views were 2,909, 216, 169 and 65 respectively – the stadium still at 87%). Also, one of the three oppose !votes in the previous discussion was apparently due to plans to close the stadium – this is no longer happening and the club is redeveloping it instead. A hatnote can be added to the article directing readers to the (moved) DAB page. Number 5 7 23:23, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) – Material Works ping me! 17:42, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
Ashton Gate Stadium → Ashton Gate (stadium) – There is consensus that the stadium isn't primary topic. However, the stadium is usually called Ashton Gate, and not "Ashton Gate Stadium". Therefore it should be disambiguated by "(stadium)". 90.254.6.237 ( talk) 16:04, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
