Somebody said it was against the law (sorry, forget who and can't be ar$ed to look back), and I mentioned it was interesting as I know a fair few fans bought tickets in Coventry end when we won the league; but nobody mentioned it then and the club turned a very lenient eye to it if it is lawbreaking.

Bristol Rob Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Just received a text from a colleague. 'You follow Bristol, can you get me 8 tickets for the United game and I'll give you the money'. The 'hahaha' reply was met with 'Don't you have a season ticket?' To be discussed on Monday.

Say you didnt realise he was so keen to watch Sheffield or that he missed the Leeds game. In other words be really dense about it/act like Robbored.

Tell him Bristol aren't playing a team called United, but you can get him as many as he wants for the game against Rotherham Titans a week on Saturday.

wendyredredrobin Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 A few people I know have been slightly tempted by offers of £200 for their Manchester tickets. We have 3 and £600 would be quite helpful, but watching on Sky just wouldn't be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone who’s interested enough to have a season ticket be tempted by £200 for one of the biggest fixtures we’ve had in the last 30 years..?! Unless on holiday, I can’t think of many other reasons that anyone would miss a cup quarter final at Home to Man Utd. My son (3yrs old) won’t be using his, but his ticket allocation will be going to a City fan at face value, not a plastic Manc, at any price!

I won't be giving up my ticket but some of the figures being bandied about would be very tempting for someone struggling financially with Xmas approaching. £200+ per ticket for 90 minutes of football you can watch on TV Anyway? Not everyone is swayed by live atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screech Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 My biggest fear of the game doesn't come from playing Manchester, my fear is the guy with the microphone at the side of the pitch getting starstruck, screeching and gushing like a TV games show host. And please when announcing the attendance, just announce it by thanking everybody for their attendance. They don't want to feel like they are witnessing a Wonder of the World.

The likes of Preston, Burton & many others seem to get the big 6 clubs in cup draws fairly regularly. We’ve been waiting so long for one, the over enthusiastic reaction is kind of natural. The fact it’s in the quarter final of a major competition, rather than a lucky early round draw only magnifies the appeal. Maybe big cup ties will now come along like buses and we can look forward to another one in FA Cup 3rd round in January. As well whoever we get in the League cup Semis, obviously...!

Pretty sure he'll be watching on Sky! That is the myth that all plastic Mancs like to use. It is fairly easy to get European tickets at OT and if you are willing to pay inflated prices (why not, for a day out at the team you supposedly “support”) you can get hold of tickets for most games. You did very well not to just punch him in the nose for being a****! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 It'll be interesting to know when ticket arrangements are going to be announced. Given our good form this season, there has been a shortage of OTIB meltdowns, and tickets for the cup will hopefully bring a bit of normality back to the forum.

How many season ticket holders do we have 12- 13k? It can't be more than a 1 for 1 sale can it we don't have the capacity to do it any other way. Unless they give those who have attended cup games as well priority and an extra ticket, in which case I will miss out as I have been working away for every one of them.

At least he might actually know some of the names of the players for this game. It’s cringeworthy when he can’t pronounce names that anyone with even a fleeting interest in football knows how to pronounce - and just confirms that he’s in the job despite not giving a shit about football!
