We've already sold all 2k tickets for Swans, haven't we? I don’t think that was his point at all....he was bemoaning the ticket costs....

Will probably be October before the sags have taken that many away from home. **** 'EM 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the **** acts like that? Not tarring them all with the same brush but FFS!! Ruined a great day out.. I got strangled by one as an 8 year old, he was in his twenties, I only walked past his house with my dog and let it poo, I’m now in my 30s and never see the man around 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Let's not forgot, it was 8 quid cheaper for them to go to Peterborough... Every year they pick out 3 or 4 games where they took more the season before, but for some reason they miss out the 20 other games where they take nobody...

Tbf I've been taking my kids in pubs on the Gloucester Road in their City kits for years and never had a whiff of confrontation from any gas, just some good natured piss taking. Disgusting way to treat you and your kid though, I hope he's not too shaken up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of where you saw them, city heartlands bedminster,knowle Hartcliffe etc!! Ok take the mickey, but threaten violence?? No not in the slightest.

glynriley Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Loyal and true....

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 2 hours ago, BS4 on Tour... said: To be fair, they took more fans to their first away game this season (Posh) than we did...and the two trips were pretty much the same distance - 172 miles vs 178 miles each way.... Once in a while that sort of statistic is going to happen and there’s a variety of reasons for it. It would be equally ridiculous to compare our attendance when we play against Swansea with their attendance against whoever they’re playing away next. The facts are, despite them claiming to have superior away support, we have higher average away attendances than them every single season. From what I’ve seen they rarely sell out their allocations so they can’t even blame smaller grounds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a common thing with gasheads ,I have already posted on OTIB about the 4 drunk idiots in the bus station after an England game recently . Shouting abuse at families going home after a day shopping then picking on a solitary City fan they singled out .Gave him nasty abuse in front of his wife .

But games haven’t been available on the Sky red button for free, or via bctv for a tenner before. I think that’s going to have quite a big effect on numbers that might otherwise have travelled. Again, I hope that I’m wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
