Fat Cigar Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 1 hour ago, KingLear said: First of all fair play to the club for IMO getting the ticket arrangements spot on for this game. Coming from someone who is firmly in the priority 3 category What I wanted to talk about though is that I really hope we don't go down the cringey route of giving out clappers (see Huddersfield) selling half and half scarves and such like. At the most make it a red and white night. Just don't want to come across as a little bit 'tinpot' on television. Just want the club to be portrayed as though we belong and deserve to be there against that calibre of opposition (which we all know we do). What's others opinions on this? Anyone buying or selling these abominations should be put in the stocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you I suppose for a few on here this will be the biggest game they've ever attended, Manchester in a cup quarter final. Not quite the same excitement for those of us of a certain vintage.

AshtonPark Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 38 minutes ago, SARJ said: Well said. Was just discussing with a friend earlier today just how far the club has come now, especially in the facilities we have and general match day experience. We are no longer the small League 1 outfit with a restaurant in the Williams stand. We are much bigger and more professional than that. Hopefully this is how we come across on the day of the game. Im hoping a full review of the hospitality starts to appear in the national papers etc, it really is something to be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Isewater Industry's have prepared a special souvenir for the Manchester fans to commemorate the match . It comes with a rip off packet, pretends to be gold but is in fact cheap plastic and they are assured to lose interest in it directly after a defeat .

Lew-T Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 I don’t want the club to make this like an ‘event’ instead of a football game in the QF’s. Two games away from the final, I would expect City and club will do everything to make it a hostile environment for United. That goes for the fans too! It’s a massive opportunity imo.

Please no clappers distributed by the club or any camp scarf 'twirling' that they tried to make a thing a couple of years ago. Just leave the fans to it. Let S82 lead the way. Let us put out flags and surf the big Murray flag around the SS. Don't interfere. Couldn’t agree more with this. Keep it simple, keep it Bristol City FC. None of this copyright scarves, clappers shit like Leicester and Palace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 I just want 24,000 City fans singing their lungs out and giving David De Gea a bollocking as he takes his goal kicks. Give em a west country welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happily tell all the traders to stuff it and I hope others will do the same. I expect half and half scarves are being shipped from some sweat shop as we speak. Against WHam we had free scarves. I wonder? But no not cardboard clappers, there maybe a change people might open them and hold them up and offend someone! or think youve got the clap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 18 minutes ago, Major Isewater said: Never heard of them . Perhaps this will refresh your memory Major. Manchester United - premier league football team from largest City in Lancashire once managed by Sralex Ferguson, who in addition to keeping Mrs Ferguson happy with his 12 inch portable, also patented Fergie time, this being the amount of time needed after 90 minutes had gone for his team to snatch a winner. Under Fergie, Manchester United won every competition in the history of association football, which s everyone knows began in 1992. It is a well know fact that Fergie's career at Man U , and their subsequent success, is almost entirely due to a player who also played for Bristol City. Had Ferguson not signed Ralph Milne, then it is very doubtful that he would have remained manager for long and the Red Devils ( not to be confused with a well known brand of kitchen knives) would have gone on to achieve total domination of English and European football over the next 2 decades. as well as winning the Ashes and the Rugby World Cup. Ferguson was knighted for services to British music as a result of him fixing up David Beckham with Posh Spice and getting David to get her out of music and into the fashion industry, The fashion industry has since lobbied for Ferguson's knighthood to be removed because of the damage Mrs Beckham has since done to their industry.

The bench is very strong of course, but I’d fancy us to be competitive in a game against that 11. They definitely should not underestimate us - the occasion and sell our crowd should give our players an extra boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
