Bar BS3 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just out of interest, have people who joined in on the previous "not going to Wembley" thread changed their mind and decided to embrace the occasion, or have we sold nearly 40k tickets despite some regular fans not having any interest in attending?

RumRed Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I guess with almost 38k so far they're pretty much all going. It's Wembley and as much as we think it's a piss pot trophy its a day out. I hope this is the last appearance in my lifetime. We're not going to get there in the FA Cup, never want to go through a play off final again. But more than anything don't want to be in this cup again. Let's say goodbye to Wembley in a positive way with all fans, old and new supporting the team.

timothy bird Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'm not going, but i hope that everyone who does has a great day and that we win! I'd rather save my money for league games at Oldham Preston and Chesterfield. Hope that's ok with you bar bs 3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Red Rich Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I started that not going to Wembley thread and am still not going, but to be fair I wouldn't say I don't want to go, it's just that circumstances arnt allowing me to go and I'm not overly dissapointed. My wife is due a few days after and was early with our first, the last thing I want is to be in London trying to get back ASAP after having had a few pints etc and facing the wrath of potentially missing the birth!! Plus, with the impending new arrival and adding in a trip to the Gold Cup next week I can't really afford it. Plus having been to both Stoke & Carlisle games I'm just a bit bored of the JPT, LDV or whatever they call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Im not going. Largely because the JPT cup doesn't excite me one iota. I'd rather watch it live on Sky and hear what the "expert" pundits have to say and if they are not gushing in their praise of the mighty Bristol City FC, I'll give them a slagging.

chipdawg Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I said I was going to go on that thread but I'm not. It's a lot of money (live up north so I can't jump on one if these coaches or minibuses) and I couldn't justify it once I'd priced it all up. I'll be there in spirit though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderInACan Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 It's the least important game left of the season, but it'll be a good day out. Why can't we get the thousands of fans hiring minibuses & coaches for the much more crucial-er games at Oldham, Preston, Bradford etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 No, I'm not going. Hope everyone who is enjoys themselves and we recruit a few new young fans, but as I haven't seen a single JPT game this season and regard the competition as an embarrassing irrelevance it would be hypocritical to go.

alandicks Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I didn't want to go, I was at the previous four, but now have two children who have never been to Wembley. I would rather take them to see their team at Wembley rather than lose them to a Premiership team !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather save my money for league games at Oldham Preston and Chesterfield. Hope that's ok with you bar bs 3! What's with the attitude..?! It was a simple question to see if peoples initial opinions had changed as time has gone on. I agree with what some have said and if we were to lose one more game this season, then I'd prefer it to be the Wembley game. Promotion is all important, ahead of winning the title. Win or lose at Wembley won't really effect it being a good day out, although winning the double this season would cap it of brilliantly and make this probably the best season in my 25 years as a fan.

Barrs Court Red Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I could take or leave it. Given the opposition I wasn't hat bothered, but said yes to go anyway. As it is we're looking at 70k and a good occasion worth attending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myol'man Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 If we go to Wembley still 10 points clear and win the JPT it will be a fantastic day out and a lifelong memory for any City fan there.

cider-manc Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 If we go to Wembley still 10 points clear and win the JPT it will be a fantastic day out and a lifelong memory for any City fan there. Apart from financial, health, work commitments or other personal circumstances I can't understand why anyone would choose not to go I remember seeing an interview with Lee Sharpe in which he said the reason he celebrated every goal with a stupid dance etc was because every single one could of been his last. That's the way I'm looking at this, It may be the Paint pot trophy and considered by some as a waste of time, but it might be the last time I ever get to see City play at Wembley, for that reason alone I will always try and get to any games we play there.

Admin phantom Posted March 5, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 As I was trying to explain to two ST holders that I know that aren't going, it may possible be the last time we get to see City at Wembley in a long time! Hopefully we go up this season and then stay up for a very long time - this would mean no for FLT in the future That leaves just the FA Cup semi / final, League Cup or Play off final in the future..... may be a long time before we go back again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 For a club who so rarely play a final of any description, and probably only visit Wembley on average every 7-8 years, I do struggle to understand why anyone wouldn't want to be a part of the occasion. I think we all recognise the competition isn't very prestigious or important, but it's still a great day out in front of a crowd around 6 times the size we normally attract.
