Bat Fastard Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 With advancing old age and living 45 miles from Ashton Gate, I feel it would be wonderful if the club could broadcast live games in years to come. If they charged £10 per match and hosted some advertising - it must be a potential money spinner. For many years I lived in London and although I still attended most games, home and away, it would have been very useful to have had another option. The matches are filmed anyway so there is not a huge duplication of effort. Of course it will always be better to watch live - but the Dolman steps seem to get more difficult every year......... Does anybody else think the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted February 25, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Won't be long before they will be free to view from foreign broadcasters - every Premier league game is available now and also some in our league The problem with the theory above would be that it would be cheaper to pay the £10 maybe get a bar full of people then the club lose out financially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old gits who drive a 90 mile round trip do not consume any beer! With advancing age it may be the TV or nothing! The radio is a poorer substitute.

It basically allows you to watch the worlds tv without any subscription fee, absolutely brilliant!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I don't like the idea. If you (anyone) can't make the effort to get to the Gate, don't watch the game. It would have a detrimental impact on attendances so no, no, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After nearly 50 years of making the "effort" - are you really so mean minded to say that I should be grounded for being too old? I may achieve the 60 year milestone but beyond that - it may not be possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may sound harsh, but unless we are Premier league then our famous apathetic fairweather fans won't come within a mile of AG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been doing it for 66 years since April 1950 although I can still run up the steps to row 25 of the South Stand. Assuming the Club open up the new Williams upper tier, there will be lifts to use instead of stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am the mole Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Can't see the club charging a tenner to watch it when if you were a family of 4 and maybe got some mates over it would in reality cost the club thousands!!! Mans we might as well not built this stadium!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat Fastard Posted February 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Probably best to cull the old fans who cannot make the Dolman steps! Maybe if we had public shootings or hangings, it might even improve the crowds and sales of beer and pies! As for those fans who had chosen to take jobs in far flung corners of the World - they should be excommunicated. That might also improve the crowds....... unless they could buy beer and pies online from the club maybe???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
