reddogkev Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 £15 for an adult ticket, plus it could be a game where we have to win to guarantee safety (wouldn't be surprised if it goes to the wire.) I would love it if we sold all 27k, how can we guarantee this? If we can take 40,000 to Wembley, then should be no problem with a game of this scale. Come on City fans, sell out the Gate, I want to see the ground packed to the rafters!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sglosbcfc Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 If there is nothing to play for (which I really hope as I want us to be safe before then) the gate will be 20,000. If we have something to play for then 27,000 (Brum will fill their end). If we both have something to play for then there will be fans locked out and it won't be pretty. Birmingham have some naughty characters following them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good points, and you'd have to take being safe, but I can see the trap of 22nd still being within reach come the last game, for us and even Birmingham.

Think those days are long gone, I remember with a strange fondness being chased around the top end of Winterstoke Road by about 300 Millwall fans in the late 90's, and even though there was only about 9 of us in our group, even to this day I wonder if we should have turned and had a go! Would I still be here today, God only knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Double the price! We don't want the negatives turning up and pointing out why they've stayed away!

Tin Soldier Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Back in the 80's, away days were always risky ref H+S, but the walk from the old St.Andrews ground back to the choo choo was well dodgy. Anyone on here remember a game when there was circa 300 of us on a route march back through the wastelands of Brum post match with the OB. You would not want to walk it on your own, Zulus were a top 6 firm in those days. Trouble in the ground during the game, several knife attacks post match. Trouble at AG with a Zulu jumping/pushed through a house lounge window by the park to escape a City mob. Crazy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a personal perspective, have season tickets. However, the missus is running the 10k and expect her to do about 70 minutes (starting in the c10.20 wave). If we have nothing to play for (hopefully as safe) will be watching her as opposed to city. If we need anything, she needs to run a new PB as I'm getting to the gate come what may. I can't think I'm the only one with conflicting 10k/bcfc commitments, and the presence of both on the same day for both traffic and practical considerations means irrespective of price, a sellouts unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
