Super Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 2 hours ago, AdamB said: I don't think putting intelligence on to a public forum is sensible. The Millwall fixture is quite clearly high risk and the original discussion came from the Police to us as to whether it could be moved to a midday kick-off. We discussed it with Millwall, which we would have to do before putting an official request into the EFL, but Millwall didn't want it changed at all (understandable at this late stage, it would seriously affect supporter travel), so it remains a 3pm kick-off.

Portland Bill Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Why are people beating around the bush, we all know things will happen on August 19th, we're playing Millwall who will bring 2-3k down to Ashton Gate! The Police know the potential, the club know the same, and so does everyone on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the real problem is this fixture was announced (to the public) on Wednesday 21st JUNE, but for whatever reason our club then suddenly request for the kick off time to be moved less than a month before the actual fixture - from comments from Julie on here (it was not connected to the police) and from comments from Millwall FC it was not a request from them What happened between the original fixture being announced (by which point BCFC and A&S Police would have spoken about policing for the season) and now for this to change?

Big C Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 isn't all this making mountains out of the mole hills? There were discussions to possibly getting it moved, it felt it wasn't appropriate to do so , the game remains a 3pm kick off. What's the problem?

LondonBristolian Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 On an unrelated note, the away game at Millwall is on my birthday.

italian dave Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Just to add to the intrigue on this, I see that EFL have just published a "statement" about Millwall and their supporters and the coming season. It refers to "specific measures.....on how tickets are sold for away games", amongst other things. It goes on to say that there is "no specific timeframe" for this but that it will happen early in the season. So, presumably, there's a good reason for Millwall imposing some kind of additional restrictions on travelling fans, but not enough time to do it for their game with us. l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 I thought (may have been a dream...) the Millwall kick off time had been moved to a 12pm kick off but cannot find anything anywhere regarding this. Could someone confirm for me please? Much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistleHappy Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Gentlemen (&ladies) may I suggest we synchronize our watches, and, to be on the safe side wear two, one on each wrist... plus mobile phone alarms too .... 3pm K.O. .... don't be late for this one, if the Otib prediction league is any guide, it appears the majority of fans are expecting three points and a mini goal fest ... (3 - 1 seems to be a popular choice, (one person is predicting 6 - 2 ) ....personally I'm hoping things are gonna click for us tomorrow/sometime soon .. so I've gone for an optimistic 4 - 1 home win) Anyway, lets hope this wind blows itself out and the rain is all rained out and everyone enjoys the day (except Millwall of course) and our lot goes home warm dry and very very happy. .
