Depressingly accurate. The point on the Bristol Derby is a good one, our rivals are so pathetic we can't even muster up a punch up once a decade. 

So unless you have a season ticket already in the SS, you'll never be able to buy one again? Or have I misunderstood this?

The empty seats in the SS where season ticket holders don't turn up are just going to be replaced by empty seats of unsold potd tickets.

We have 2 "ends", neither ever full of City fans. What a mess.

I got heat for saying I'd renew a few days back but I will be. The only reason is that I have friends I go/sit with and more I see after the game. Football is a valued part of my social life (even though the game itself offers almost nothing of late). I'm not sure i would otherwise, instead opting for a membership.

 

The difference now, is that I'll rarely be declining invites for other things this coming season, should they clash with a game. In the past the match would come first.

You don't have to justify yourself if you choose to renew. If City is something you enjoy and you get value our of it then it's no body else's business what you spend your money on.

I think what grates some is that there are people who talk a big one on here, make a lot of noise, but end up renewing anyway

Agree. What a position of strength we came up in , in 2015 . Slowly eradicated 

A proper manager in charge then. Great times. 

I hate that we've got into such a mess, this seems a legitimate option. 

I hate it though. 

Until I see the words "Club Statement", next to a picture of a corner flag, i don't want anything to do with this ******* club.

Cmon City. It's time.

Good for you. Make sure you do it, a lot of people feign distain, but slap another 500 quid into Lamsdowns pocket when push comes to shove. 

The only thing these people care about is money, cut the cord.

Atmospheres at nearly every ground surface n the country is shite compared to years ago , it’s just how it is , don’t think Ashton gate is any worse or better than anywhere else , it will have good days and bad days ,results and performances will go along way to creating the atmosphere and I’m afraid our home performances haven’t been up to much for a while now , 

Proof is in the pudding = Southampton decent performance decent atmosphere 

Man Utd = superb performance superb atmosphere and so on 

I'm sorry but I disagree with that. We're not even a top 40 fan base. There are loads of British teams still making a din. We've become to entitled, to comfortable... dare I say it, to middle class.

I don’t rate Stones  

It fine to just say you don't watch football

They need to do something atmosphere is shite and has been for years.

Personally I'd put standing in the whole of the SS and have the whole lot unreserved.

You'd upset some but it might drive more back.

Fair play to you. I've seen your posts on OTIB for a while about staying away and you were ahead of the curve I have to say.. 

I won't be renewing for 2024/25, not because of the money but out of protest to how the club is being run. 

I preferred the old Ashton Gate too and find the overall matchday experience now very watered down and dull. I think this is what the fat cats wanted and have no ambition for us to really kick on.

Hopefully they sell up soon and things change.

If anything I was a few seasons late. Dean Holden should have been my exit route, but I hung on thinking they'd not do anything like that again ... (they ******* did )

I gave my season ticket up last year after 13 on the bounce and I can say for a fact that it's been a weight off my shoulders.

I drink less, my heads in a better place, I'm genuinely happier and it's so easy to watch City from home it's almost pointless going to the ground anymore.

Yes I miss the limbs, the banter, but actually I haven't rated the atmosphere at the club for a long time and actually a lot of it is just East End nostalgia that no longer exists. 

It's hard to let go, I understand, and a lot of people renew out of habit but my advice is vote with your feet guys, demand better. 

Also just thinking about it. City have not made a single attempt to regain my business. I can't go a day after cancelling one of the millions of subscriptions I have without someone calling or emailing me offering me allsorts of discounts/incentives to come back (and I often do).

City just just don't ******* care I swear.

Any seats that aren't renewed won't be made available to buy as Season Tickets and will be made available on a game by game basis.

Will this include S24/S25? ... there's are never POTD options for this corner 

The three year banning order was way too tempting after watching that game.

It saddens me to hear talk of giving Manning money in the summer, but what is even more depressing is that it'll be for "one or two" signings ...

There's absolutely no way in living hell Manning has the talent to turn this squad into a top6 outfit with only 2 signings.

That's not going to get bums on seats is it Brian ... IS IT BRIAN. 

The Bristol sport bots are back again. 

I watched that game on a stream for free and still felt ripped off. 

Would take Southgate in a heartbeat here cmon now 

Manning doesn't need more time, he needs the sack.

This club shouldn't be a training school for prospective managers to learn their trade. Either bring something to offer, improve on what came before or piss off.

This is a big boy job in a big boy league, wish we'd have some self respect and take hiring a manager more seriously.

Results business I'm afraid. Only Rotherham have less points from the last 10 games. Not good enough. 

Fewer not less. My bad.

Thankfully we can't point the finger at him tonight 

We gave it a good go but let down by individual mistakes 

I'd be asking the players where the effort like that tonight has been the past few games 

Let's hope this version of City turn up on Sunday 

Results business I'm afraid. Only Rotherham have less points from the last 10 games. Not good enough. 

Manning out

What a difference having a decent winger (Burns) makes.

If only we could produce players like that

Burns has absolutely ruined Pring tonight ...

You could see that penalty happening ages before ....
