  1. Great Post The reason I've not been to AG in 6 years is the removal (and shameful way they tried to remove it) of lower rates for disabled fans. I appreciate that disability is a very broad brush, and many who qualify for that rate choose to not take it, especially if they are still able to work. However if you are unable to work, and rely on the state or family, you should get a reduced rate. If you asked everyone at AG to describe football in one word, I'm sure the word 'family' would feature highly. It is that idea of family, and belonging, which means we should make AG as inclusive as possible, not an exclusive club for Jacks.
  2. When the club went for our disabled fans 5 years ago, I handed my ST back and have not been to AG since. The club have treated fans very poorly for a long time. Sadly its taken bad football to make people angry. Don't renew, don't go.
  3. We’re pleased to say that your Nottingham Forest v Bristol City tickets will be available to collect from the Ticket Office at tonight’s Bristol City v Leeds United fixture. The Ticket Office will be open from 17:00-20:15 tonight. Please use the Ticket Collections queue, which will be on the left-hand side as you approach the Ticket Office. We strongly urge you to arrive as early as possible to collect your tickets at the Leeds United match. If you aren’t attending the match against Leeds, you can also collect your tickets at the following times: Saturday, February 3rd 2024: 10:00-16:00 from the Bristol Sport Store Monday, February 5th 2024: 12:00-16:00 from the Bristol Sport Store Tuesday, February 6th 2024: 10:00-16:00 from the Bristol Sport Store Wednesday, February 7th 2024: 10:00-14:30 from the Bristol Sport Store For those that are unable to collect from Ashton Gate at any of the above times, you will be able to collect at Nottingham Forest’s ground at the Away Ticket Office which is located at the corner of the Brian Clough and Bridgford Stands, approximately an hour before kick-off. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you at Ashton Gate for tonight’s sold out match!
  4. I've got a lot of issues with the club, and for that reason have been an away fan only for almost 6 years now. However something the club has got right recently is the pathway from the academy to the first team. I'd rather watch local players like Max, who may not be world beaters, than a team of Mercenaries.
  5. I'd always like the idea of encorperating the houses into the stand, with the front doors becoming turnstiles.
  6. You can't know what's happened behind the scenes. Promises may have been made and broken. Save judgement till you know all the facts.
  7. Always balance the books. To not do so is asking to be the next Reading. If you can give yourself the reputation of good football, and a proven record of moving players to the top flight, you will find good FL players will be more likely to join us as we're a good bet for their future. We won't get their best, but they'll give us better than most championship sides.
  8. 00s Basso 10s Adomah 20s Only been to a few away games till SL goes so can't comment
  9. No attempt to get her right leg down. Naivety at its best
  10. N.Ireland play in green without any green on their flag
  11. I adored Beckham as a kid. I even had the duvet set. Believed him to be the best player in the world. Now that was never true, but I think the soap opera that he created has slightly fogged our memories of him as a player in both directions. Some above posts talk about how overrated he was, and others how underrated he was. For me, you have to listen to those he played with, and against. Almost everyone points out how good he was to play with, how hard he trained, how professional he was, and what a good leader he was. For me, a deserved England great
  12. Personally I'd rather the club was financially stable, and not reliant on any outside investment. The steps made recently of bringing through academy players is great to see. Of course I'd like to see us go up, but we cannot mortgage the club to achieve that. Play attacking football Bring through academy players Harvest a good club atmosphere Might go down, might go up
  13. I've not been to AG for years now, but any football club who does not offer at least one section of the ground for £20 or less tickets for every game is a tragic excuse of what a football club should be.
  14. Providing both still avaliable, happy to take these. Dm me
  15. Not a drinker, but the Old Horse on London Road is good pub. Loads of local memorabilia, often a good atmosphere, and some good beers on tap. Do a good quiz on a Tuesday too...
  16. If anyone has 2 or 3 tickets they no longer want/need, please let me know.
  17. Stood in the shadow of the King power right now. Gutted this didn't make general
  18. I think loyal is the wrong word, but certainly the club has lost fans, like myself, over the last 5-10 years who no longer feel part of the club. I made my own decision to stop when they hiked the disabled fans and children's prices in 2018. It is callous and business orientated decisions like that which have made many feel not welcome, or less attached. My loyalty will always be to my fellow fan as I believe every club is the members of that club. My loyalty is not to SL, or to Bristol City Holdings Ltd, or to the players, but to anyone who calls themselves a Bristol City supporter. Sadly I feel the club, and English Football as a whole, have moved the overton window so much now, that ticket prices have gone up, therefore fan entitlement goes up, player wages go up and so on and so on. That has ruined atmospheres which in turn puts more people off. Now attendances have gone up over the last 10 years too, so clearly the club has done well in attracting new fans. But AG is not a place where people who want to create and atmosphere and those who simply wish to watch are catered for equally. Until those who run the club change their mentality towards the atmosphere, nothing will change. However, fans can make them change, if the voices are loud enough.
  19. Some of the first images of the current AG had the entire lower Dolman and South Stand designated for safe standing. This was a promise to Bristol Rugby fans to replicate the experience of the side terrace and thatchers end at the mem. Putting the barriers we have in S82 across the lower Dolman and SS would help with atmosphere, and actualise a promise made to Bristol Rugby fans.
  20. Till Watson is gone, I'm a neutral Browns fan. Jumping on the bandwagon of whatever team is the overachieving underdog. I think the Bears could be a lot better than people think they will be.
  21. Did Inter in December 2016 so more or less the same. Holidays are not that popular to Milan in early December before the Christmas rush, so I waited until the fixtures were confirmed before booking anything, as it wasn't too expensive. I made the mistake of going in the ultras section. Most Italian fans are a bit right wing and it was uncomfortable, so I'd sit at the side of the pitch. Milan is cold in December, and when I was there, there was a lot of fog, which made it feel much colder, so wrap up warm. The San Siro is iconic and hauntingly beautiful, and is one of my favourite places to watch football. Really recommend it. Security is a bit more rigorous and don't forget your passport or they will not let you in.
  22. One for me this year is a visit to Goodison Park. It's an iconic British football ground that I believe has hosted more top flight English football than any other ground. Might be its last ever season. So if you're stuck, it may be an option
  23. I'd never buy either, but if you offered me one for free, I'd take the Polka
