Tinmans Love Child

62 tickets left across the ground as at 14:00, albeit I'm sure others will pop up over the rest of the week

I think it may have sold out? as it was only offering hospitably on the website when I looked earlier? (I have 3 sons, so the posh dining option is not an option, even if I could make it to the game, which I can't!)

Tickets went on general sale at 12, bagged 2 in the South Stand easily, there were quite a lot left from what I could see

A lot of Wednesday fans blaming Palmer for goading the crowd before it happened, including the Owls Till I Die podcast.  Apparently if he hadn’t done that then he wouldn’t have got abused.  Knuckledusters

It's very hypocritical of some fans who goad players with chants during the game but when the player goads back all of a sudden it's the player who is out of order!  Weird logic!  

Regarding Wednesday fans justifying racial abuse, the mind boggles!

I presume we are still under contract with O’neills? Central badge, please. 

That was a quick win on the new kit bingo moan list:

I want a collar it looks well smart innit

No Collar please looks old fashioned 

Chest Badge, more traditional

Central Badge, more modern

Sponsor logo is the wrong colour

Badge is not embroidered 

Badge is a splat 

Colour red is wrong shade

Looks like xxxx kit

When people ask you who you support, do you say Bristol, or Bristol City? 

Bristol refers to the Rugby club imo.

It doesn't matter what I say, the look of sympathy when I reply is the same

Stop calling us Bristol.

I have no issue with this as it implies there is only one team in Bristol so no real need to clarify the City part!

There is a bit of City chat on this weeks Overlap (forward to 49mins), and earlier Roy Keane mentioned he was at AG for one of the women's games as well:

if you haven't watched the Overlap I can recommend, there are some great interviews with various ex players and the weekly chat is pretty entertaining.

Makes me laugh when players , managers and fans say they would rather not have VAR and will just accept the refs decision on the pitch even if was wrong /an error .

That never used to happen and won’t change even if VAR went tomorrow.

Football is too tribal for the rugby type “refs call is final so get on with it “

But obviously VAR needs to change its level of use and better communication.

Don’t think you can really ever get the consistency and reliability on decision some crave as it’s all too subjective as it always was before VAR.

 

One of my pet hates is rugby fans banging on that the players call the ref Sir and all that, who cares!

Second half yesterday a few others and myself were stood watching the game on a stairwell. I didn’t mind but somebody would have got hurt if we had scored again!

It was carnage. 

There were empty seats all around the south stand and Lansdown from my view point

Many older fans that recall the us beating Chelsea in this competition will have had their fill, by, now, after so many years, of this type of "ruffling a young boy's hair" coverage from one of the nationals. How we long to be the big gun getting turnt over by a tinpot and then going back to the big boy football at the top of the game .....

I'm officially old at 45!  Damn!

I think the Bears have the record attendance at the "new" Ashton Gate 26,399.

Segregation for football means its unlikely we can surpass that, but we had just over 26k for the League cup quarter and semi finals so I would assume that would be the most we could cram in ?

The Atyeo did look quite full and I was surprised it was only 3,338 announced.

There were sections either end which I assume people weren't allowed to sit in, only a few hundred probs

I definitely only scanned the bar code. Surely you can use either?

I guess my point is that it's potentially confusing, takes longer to get through, with 25,000 people it won't help put it that way.  In front of me people were trying both as one didn't work.

If you think most people have got use to tapping there card or phone but everything last night was a ticket (either printed or on phone).

Anicdotally there seemed to be people that had booked for there friends/family but hadn't printed so were trying to use there phone to scan each person in so everyone was waiting while they tried to load the tickets from there email in a crowded area where the cell towers are overloaded with other people trying to go through there emails to find there tickets. People just expect to be able to download wherever and whenever they want. The tickets do say to print them.

 

The tickets are a mess currently and give mixed messages::

At the top it says 'The barcode only allows one entry per ticket' but actually you scan the QR code to get in, not the bar code.

Re: printing it actually says 'If you can, please print your ticket in A4 size or alternatively scan via your smart phone' so people have every right to scan tickets, and I would argue a lot of people don't have printers now, a lot of workplaces don't have them these days. 
 

It's well within the clubs remit to make the tickets better.

We had huge queues when we entered SS, they gave out a message saying that the problem was that people were trying to enter using the wrong bar codes on their phones. 

To be fair they have qr codes and a bar code on the ticket so if you don't go that often you wouldn't know which one to scan

Too many "Heart in your mouth" moments from Zak for anything higher than a 7

First half especially we were so deep and started every goal kick the same I.e. passing it out, and invited pressure from the off, so any slight bad pass put us under immediate pressure.  Second half the sending off eased the pressure so we had more time to do this.

The game against Rovers in 96 was called off for this reason.

Moved 24 hrs - not exactly a postponement.

Isn't that the very definition of a postponement?  I'd delete your original post quickly

Stupid question, I guess you can scan the bar code in the emailed ticket rather than actually having to print it? I don’t know why this wouldn’t work but thought I had read you had to print it?

It says on the ticket, albeit in small writing so easy to miss, that you can just scan the code

Just 29 tickets available now all in the Lansdown 

More importantly what's his chant going to be?  

Red red Twine

You've gone to my head

Don't let me forget

That I love you so

It's just not how many seats are possible as many other factors need to be taken on board around building compliance. I.E fire systems, safe egress, lighting, extra seats may also trigger local by laws on car parks etc.

Yeh I understand the process, I didn't feel I needed to clarify every caveat, it's just a general comment.  As I said I think they could have designed this section differently to include more seats, whilst still delivering the other stuff.  It's irrelevant anyway it's done

Easy to say but difficult to do. To fill in the corner between the Lansdown and the Atyeo would require the media centre to be demolished and the Atyeo roof to be changed. The opposite corner is equally difficult as the Atyeo extends beyond the pitch as a result of the pitch being moved as part of the redevelopment. 

I must admit the media centre corner or whatever it is does seem like it's a touch overkill in terms of the space it takes up within the ground at the expense of seats.  Not sure why they couldn't have designed it slightly differently so more seats were in that corner

Why is it that when I see Ross McCorie I immediately start sing Oasis Morning glory. Maybe that should be the basis of his song, "Whats the story Ross McCorie".
