Nothing riding on it for us and I cant imagine there will be many South Brizzle neanderthals up in the Lansdown Not that it'll bother me as i'll be in the Dolman but i just don't want the brummie **** wits in our stands .

It just doesn't quite sound right to me. My theory is that if we played in an equivalent scenario at St Andrews, we could take 5-6k. If Brum have a similar fanbase, that's potentially over 3k after a ticket. But I accept most won't get them! They sold out fairly quickly tbf to them so since the last result i expect them to have bought a couple of hundred more. I reckon there could be as many as a thousand in the home ends.

gordie Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 According to official site Guaranteed crowd of over 24500 so still a few seats left yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somerset_redss Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Glad I switched seats for my two under 10's from the dolman to lansdown upper. Ironically thought they may enjoy it up there !

There is another thread we're someone is taking his young lad in the upper stand . And has concerns and rightly so . The club need to address this IMO . And try and put people's minds at rest . A Supporters Liason officer you would think!! I'm sure the club are doing all they can at least I bloody well hope so. This is a MASSIVE game for Birmingham and if our stewarding is as responsive as it was when there were just a small pocket of Geordies in the SS this then it could be ridiculous!! I dread to think how long it would take an appropriate number of Police to get to the Upper Lansdown if numbers slip through the net and it does get ugly. Another question for @JulieH I guess if only to put peoples minds at ease If they get relegated they won't go quietly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 I think people are worrying a little too much that we're going to be overrun by brummies. I'm sure there will be the odd couple of hundred spread around the ground but. This is our last game, we've stayed up, it's party time and it's cheaper. Just in the small circle of people that I know who attend every game, there are a great many more associates attending who only manage a few games per season. I think there's a great feeling of relief amongst supporters and they're taking the opportunity to have a nice relaxing experience. Our average attendance this year is higher and people want to be a part of what they see as a good thing. Chill out, enjoy the entertainment and if you see or hear a brummie, think yourself lucky you're not in their situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another question for @JulieH I guess if only to put peoples minds at ease If they get relegated they won't go quietly Worth remembering that our most hardcore support who might be more inclined to react to Brum fans won't be in the upper Lansdown. Broadly speaking it's going to be the more casual supporter up there. I'd be surprised if there was significant trouble, and since I'll be up there I hope I'm not wrong!

Xiled Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Who would believe it for a league match that has limited consequences for Bristol City? It's difficult to know who has actually bought all these tickets but I'm sure the revamped stadium is already doing its job in terms of bringing back good numbers of 'casual' fans when the circumstances are right. Even with the chaos of the Bristol 10k, it should be a great atmosphere and beer/cider sales will be pretty healthy. I can imagine the club are now ruing the decision to make the tickets so cheap. "Your queue number: 23133"!!! And "You are in queue for Bristol Sport Queue Management" - does anyone check this software before releasing it on the fans? Does that mean there will be more on sale once a few more Brummies have been rooted out? More than anything, I hope it's a trouble-free occasion. Just seeing 24,500 people inside Ashton Gate will be a pretty amazing sight after this roller-coaster season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Andersons dietician Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Some seats have now been released in S18 / 19 and also the 3 central blocks of the Lower Lansdown. Seems a bit odd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Small number of tickets in S18/S19. Also some of the padded seats in the Lansdown lower available in W13/W14/W15 (these seem to be at a premium price of £31.00 instead of the £16.00 in the rest of the ground) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 From reading our visitors forum, it seems like they're thinking about a pitch invasion on Sunday. I hope not as I can't see that ending well. Let's hope JulieH and the local OB are aware of this. In all the years I've been going to city, I don't think I can remember anyone invading the pitch at the Gate apart from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have an 'element' of our own that won't take too kindly to away fans on 'our' pitch. Let's hope they don't try to get on in the first place eh!
