If we win the two games coming up before then it's going to be a big problem I reckon. It will be because it will be easy to get tickets - I know about 20 people who live in Newport who could probs get one, at least 2 if them for definite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don't think that they've thought this through properly unless they are going to say all purchasers have to have home ticket purchase history which they may well have done I guess.......

Yep and that’s where the 2 of them for me come in to play - stupid decision from the authorities who will potentially be causing more problems than there would have been otherwise on a Sunday at midday - part of me wonders if that’s what the plan is.......

ChippenhamRed Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 49 minutes ago, Mr Popodopolous said: I don't wish to be or come across as a negativist- hopefully the allocation gets increased. A 50% slash in allocation is quite unprecedented surely!? To say nothing of it being plain wrong on their SAG's behalf. However, given we have a police officer on this site- which is no less an open forum- plus the club read it no doubt, posting about intentions to go in home end of a reduced allocation- well it'll form page 1 of their briefing won't it?? Police and SAG alike. They will know it’s an inevitability that there will be away fans in the home areas, particularly with the small allocation and no TV. But there is also nothing they can do about it as long as those purchasing aren’t using a Bristol postcode. The briefing will be to remove away fans who make themselves known, but that would be the same at any game. I don’t think anything we say on here makes any difference. Still a silly decision though.

Aaron-Bcfc Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I also can't envisage many going in the home ends. Lot of hassle to get there with very limited trains/bus replacements and it can be watched in the sports bar (beamback permitting). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
