Man City gave us 8k in a 55k ground and didn’t sell out the home end. We gave them what we needed to in a much smaller ground and did sell out the home end. Cardiff have a bigger ground than us and should be giving us a comparable allocation to that given to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Man City were entitled to 10% of AG capacity unlike the FA cup where its 15% I believe, but they gave us more because they weren't likely to sell out against us.

Man City were able to offer a large away allocation without any home fans missing out, we weren't, so they got the minimum permissible. And at the end of the day, more Manchester City fans watched the tie overall than Bristol City fans did. It's a crap comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's better! This is all theory at the moment of course in the absence of concrete evidence, but if the club do indeed get a paltry 1,400 allocation in a 33k stadium after we gave them 3,500, I hope @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO is prepared for the reaction!

Phileas Fogg Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Will be intriguing to see how they handle the ticketing when we play Cardiff over two legs in the playoffs - has a playoff semi ever been a bubble trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't normally advocate tit-for-tat but if the rumours about our allocation are true we should absolutely do the same if they come back for the play offs. The game would sell out so they wouldn't get the whole Atyeo anyway, but I'd give them the minimum and make them collect their tickets from Aberystwyth an hour before kick off.

BCFC J Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 @Mkelly @AdamB I have no reason to doubt the information but I hope that the 1,400 allocation isn't true. Can you offer some clarity? How on earth is this possible, given the regulations state a minimum of 2,000 or 10%? One steward assault doesn't warrant punishing 600 people who should be able to attend. 1,400 is lower than our away average this season, if this is true then it's an absolute joke. May as well make it a bubble anyway given there are very conveniently train works the day we play them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
