Midlands Robin Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 One thing that occurred to me is that with the way the draw was conducted to decide home or away, they put an equal number of home and away balls into the pot to begin with but, as each ball was pulled out they left it on a tray in the middle. So, as there were about 6 red bulls pulled out in a row, the odds of having a home tie for teams still left in the draw shifted significantly so that later teams had more chance of playing away. That's not really fair. It should have been an equal 50/50 chance of home or away for each draw. What they should have done is just had two balls, one marked home and the other away. These would be returned to the pot after each draw so that the first club to the last club had an equal 50/50 chance of an home or away tie. As I said in an earlier post it is an overly complicated and totally pointless way of running things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie BCFC Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 So with both us and the g*s playing in London will one of our ties be switched so one of us are at home? If so surely we would be the home team considering they cocked up the draw massively with our tie v Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is stands, the 23.30 train from Paddington to Temple Meads that evening is likely to have City and Rovers fans on it. Vicarage Road to Paddington can be done in just under an hour so I suspect there will be City fans getting this last train back to Bristol. It would mean most likely having to miss the last few minutes of extra time and / or penalties if the game goes that far, but I'd wager that there will be a good few of our travelling fans who'll book this train. Surely British Transport Police and / or the Met would have realised this by now (and before someone points it out, yes I know Watford isn't covered by the Met, but Fulham and Paddington are)? I can't imagine they'd be happy with the possibility of both sets of fans being on the same train. EDIT: unless of course I've missed an announcement that either our game or Fulham v Rovers has been switched to the Wednesday (there's nothing on our website at present and the Fulham and Watford websites currently show the games taking place on Tuesday 22nd).

As for both Bristol teams travelling to & from Padding ton together; a few years ago the Transport Police realised that Forest and Derby were both in London on the same day, so had one game delayed 24 hours to avoid mayhem on the trains and at St Pancras.
