MC RISK77 Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Was having a chat with the guys I sit next too in the dolman about wednesdays game, a few of them cannot make it and while you like to think their tickets have got too deserving fellow reds, the thought did cross my mind that I could end up sat next too some plastic Utd fans. I wonder how closely this would have been monitored by the club in the race to sell out 27k tickets? And is etiquette should they do pipe up during the game a cheeky right hook back down the dolman steps :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Grovesy Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 I would imagine it would be impossible for the club to police. If a City season ticket holder can't go and gives their ticket to a plastic Manchester fan, nobody will know until Wednesday night. If they sit on their hands, read the programme they bought and keep warm with their half 'n' half scarf everything will be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Island Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 They won’t be singing cos they won’t know any of the chants. They will be recording their big day out on an iPad though. And have a half n half scarf. So yes they deserve to tumble down the Dolman steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 The club did all they could to reward fans. If you want to blame anyone, blame those who sold, or gave, their tickets to said plastics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Not a problem round me. All are going on Wednesday apart from one who has his works do and he`s given his ticket to his son who`s in the navy and didn`t know he could be home for the game until last week.

Andy082005 Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Got a horrible feeling there are gonna be a fair few plastics in the home end. You know the type...live in Bristol, seen Man U about 5 times in their lives, and will probally think they can treat this game like a friendly and cheer when/if United score Can see one or two getting slapped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 My theory is that most United fans will be in the Atyeo home blocks. I think the atmosphere in there might be a bit odd. This is where the vast majority of availability was when the last priority period started, which required a membership but no previous bookings.

Bar BS3 Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 I think it’s exactly what these plastic scumbags need, a good slap, IF they don’t tow the line. They must think that football is all fancy images, touchscreen analysis and friendly banter, because that’s what they are shown on TV. If some plastic Manc is sat near me quietly, respectful of their surroundings, then just let them get on with it, before crawling back under their stone. If they think we are “only Bristol City” and give it the big ‘in, then there should be a very lenient line taken online dishing out a quick route down the Dolman steps. Imho.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Who’s to say all the plastics will be supporting United. Suddenly decided to support City because the Mancs are in town, but never to be seen at the Gate again unless we make the Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreedyHarry Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Two seats next to me have been empty all season as the goal view is blocked when people walk down the steps. Hope to god I don't have to resist the urge to wallop a gobby Manc as I really don't want to get kicked out myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 There will be some randomers sat next to us in S21, basically because three of the regulars STHs forgot to buy their tickets in the first period of sale. They will be members so I don't expect any plastics at all. Welcome to S21, people! I hope you enjoy the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 All well and good this 'no tolerance to plastic Mancs' or those who have no reason to be sat in the home end, but be tolerant of any kids, especially those at their first game. Maybe you can go a bit Billy Graham on them, point out the great deals for kids to their guardian or parent and suggest they get themselves to the Gate again soon.

Maybe they’ll catch the bug and come back. Anyone in the home end at this game who isn’t a STH has invested in a £20 membership in addition to their match ticket (rugby STH aside). So if they are supporting City they’ve at least made a pretty substantial investment to do so. I’d far rather we welcome newcomers rather that turn our noses up at them. Growing the fan base benefits everyone and a new fan who doesn’t know the songs is still better than an empty seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a Bristolian, and the first matches I watched were at Wolves where the likes of The Doog and John Richards were the first strikers I adored. One season onwards and my Dad sat me in the Dolman and I saw games v Fulham and v Sun'lun. It made a pleasant change from the Waterloo Road Stand. As we lived in Bath at that point.... well it made sense to follow City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be gobsmacked if anyone was stupid enough to think they can come to Ashton Gate and take liberties in the home end. Weather we like it or not as a club we have a reputation and anyone with any sense will know to sit down and keep there thoughts to themselves if they are indeed cheering on United from the home sections.
