Major Isewater Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Ashton Gate has become too small . Has no one thought about building a completely new stadium not far from the original ? I'm sure the people in the area would support such a fantastic project and a golden opportunity for the City of Bristol as a whole . No ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 15 minutes ago, Phileas Fogg said: Well it depends, if they are genuine United fans who have bought Bristol City membership for some reason before the tie was drawn (can't imagine there's that many if any at all) then yes, unfortunately there's nothing we can do. If they've bought membership after the tie - that's different. The club need to do checks on booking history and give priority to those on the system in my opinion. In any case, I reckon it'll be around 100 or so who slip through the net which is >0.5% - but that's still 100 too many. The club need to do everything in their power to ensure these tickets go to City fans. You are right, and I’m sure they will. Memberships purchased since the draw should be meaningless for ticket priority to the Utd game, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told them , " no tickets and no double glazing either " . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 3 hours ago, phantom said: Except they only have a seat from the Reading game so won't be a season ticket holder when the Utd game is played I argued this point too. But thinking about it the club can only sell half ST's in the seats that aren't occupied already can they. So they won't be jumping ahead of existing ST holders which should always be the first priority group. They will be added to that group or start least be equal with Membership I would guess.

elhombrecito Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Half season ticket holders should definitely get priority. The first half of the season ends before the Manchester game, so why not? Nice little advertising campaign saying that buying a half season ticket will secure you a Manchester ticket could be a nice little boost to attendances in the second half of the season.

Because then you'll have some Man Utd fans buying half season tickets that they'll never use, potentially blocking space for City fans as the season progresses. £200 isn't much to some people.

42nite Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Ok, half season ticket buyers, already on City's records before the draw get a ticket. The rest get an option after members (also on City's records as above) have taken their ticket. That might deter the Mancs/plastics. But I say let them buy a half season ticket..... they might even enjoy it. At the very least try to offload it to someone local who is slightly interested.....one fan gained?

Bv I say let them buy a half season ticket..... they might even enjoy it. But at the very least try to offload it to someone local who is slightly interested.....one fan gained? Anyone willing to pay the club £200 for a half season ticket is entitled to get a ticket for one game, even if they never use their season ticket. Mad you say though, chances are that they’d go Slong to some games and might actually get hooked, like the rest of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Peacock Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 I would say the biggest leakage to Mancs will come from the egg chasers STHs who will have no worries about getting their Manc supporting mate a ticket.

I hope the club is very robust in banning any STH who can be shown to have disposed of his/her tickets in such an irresponsible way. I also expect zero tolerance by the stewards.
