Bristol City issue statement following Dolman Stand issues during Birmingham City win

Block E34 of the Doland Stand was packed for the 4-2 victory over Birmingham City with supporters gathering there as it represents the part of the ground closest to the away supporters congregated in the Atyeo Stand.
