richwwtk Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Not overly fussed, but all the talk about the game being huge, on TV etc is way off the mark. It would only be a big game if you're in Bristol, and wouldn't be picked as a TV match - they will need one of the big premier league teams from this point on.

Unan Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Playing Rovers is a lose lose, if we win then we'll hear "yeah and of course you should win with all the money you've spent" and if we lose then we'll never hear the end of it.

The JPT game in 2013 was one of the best I have enjoyed in all my 40 odd years alongside some of the play off games because it meant something What a night. Still love JET for that.

simon uk Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 I would be well up for rovers at home, that sizzle in the air is just hard to beat! Though its a slight issue that they might raise their game 5 notches and beat us, but hey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree outside of Bristol there is little to no interest in the 'Bristol derby ' which is a sad indication of how football in our city is viewed. Rovers wouldn't sell out the Ayeto, there would be comments of how they don't feel safe etc, etc. would love to see the gate full for a top six premiership team, that's where the club would get the exposure and make money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcshorey Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 The fact that there will be no live coverage of the draw (https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/city-await-early-hours-draw/) I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of "Tasty" ties.

Septic Peg Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 I'll be honest, I'd like one of the big boys at home (Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal etc) but the two that most appeal is us at home to the Gas and Liverpool away so we could re-create the purple and lime and Marlon Pack scoring a worldy ala Tinman...

Think of a the overtime!! on a serious note , what would be the difference between us playing the blue few to us playing a team where there is a history of disorder between fans? Is it an increased police presence in the city centre for example, or the fact the police can't really control where people are coming from in respect of fans making their own way?

The problem is with Derby games is that you are right, both sets of fans are from Bristol and the mixed areas for instance city centre become on the day an area where fans don't want to be mixed! it would almost be easier having a derby every year as then the game would revert to a yearly event and not one where a few people get a little out of control over the game. The planning is basically the same as any high risk game, just generally more policing numbers needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhombrecito Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Never really understood why anybody would want us to drawn away to a top Premier League team at this stage? Half empty stadium, playing against a reserve team, and most probably lose. Don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol_South_End Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 The JPT game summed up for me why I don't want us being drawn against Rovers. The game itself was fantastic, 2 of the best goals I've seen us score and a brilliant atmosphere, all marred by a bunch of brainless thugs causing problems at the end which resulted in fines for the clubs and proper football fan's names being pulled through the mud again in the national press thanks to the actions of a few. These games always attract those types, they never step foot inside of AG except for the chance to run on the pitch/get into a scrap/spend the entire 90 minutes shouting at the away end. Not for me ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WessexPest Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Would it sell out though? Judging by the tiny crowds this competition is attracting I'm not convinced. Reckon we'd have to meet them in the latter stages for it to be a full house. Blackburn-Burnley tonight will be an interesting litmus test - crowds at Ewood have been pathetic but the prospect of facing the old enemy will swell the attendance, however still potentially balanced out by the Carabao stay away factor.
