  1. The SC&T's 'Fans for the Future' tickets have unexpectedly become available for tomorrow. It's three adults and five U19s in the Lansdown Upper. If you want to take a group of kids to the game, just get in touch and the tickets are yours. First come, first served. BTW, the Huddersfield game on 13 April is also available. Details and contact e-mail address here: https://www.bristolcitysupporters.org/kids-be-our-guests-take-5/
  2. Yep, that game was at Bootham Crescent, squeezed in between red brick terraced housing. The new ground is a small identikit job on the Monks Cross retail park.
  3. No idea. But that figure sounds plausible.
  4. At present, there has to be a flip-down seat. In future, who knows. That may change. Personally, I think it should, because it is a safety hazard to have wobbly seats accessible to fans in areas being operated as standing, since fans then can - and will - stand on them and could thus fall off and get injured. In conventional standing areas (terraces) structures on which fans can stand are banned. So, logic says that this rule may follow in due course for 'safe standing' areas too, with a requirement for the seats to be secured upright when the area is being used for standing. As, indeed, is already the way things are done all over Europe and, for instance, at Celtic.
  5. A valid point. Reaching the younger demographic is a challenge that we've faced with other surveys.
  6. As I said, it's very early days, so my discussion was very non-specific, In any case, the whole point of consultation is to find out the views of as many fans as possible, not just of those with a particular interest in this topic. 18 months is ample time to do that and to put in place the necessary arrangements should it transpire that a large percentage of our fellow fans would support changes being made on this front.
  7. Point taken. Yes, it was probably an opportunity missed. He did though respond to my mail, which wasn't a given.
  8. In JL's defence, I should say that I 'reached out' to him following his comments at the Q&A session about being open to exploring new ideas surrounding standing/atmosphere, and he put me in touch with Tom Rawcliffe, with whom I then had a meeting. It's all very early days, but the wheels are in motion for a possible consultation exercise, almost certainly involving the SC&T, which may or may not lead to some changes in time for the 2025/26 season. It has to be that far away so that, IF the consultation shows a desire for change, this can be organised and communicated well in advance of an annual round of season ticket renewals. So, the topic hasn't been ignored.
  9. I was abroad at the time, so missed the game. That font of all knowledge (ahem!) Wikipedia claims that the away following was approximately 10k. The attendance is quoted as having been 36,892, so 10k sounds more realistic than 50% of the crowd. The reality is that there is probably no accurate record, as we paid cash at the turnstiles in those days. Today will have undoubtedly been the highest in the fully ticketed / all-seater era.
  10. Is the Coventry figure documented or just folklore? I did wonder if that game might be the record.
  11. Sorry if this has already been established and I missed it, but was today the biggest away following in the club's history for any game other than a final?
  12. Yes, Germany is a big country. See mileages between host cities here: https://www.euro2024ingermany.com/travel/car-and-coach Even by train, John, it takes some getting about!!
  13. In Munich? https://www.euro2024ingermany.com/groups/group-c
