elhombrecito Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Just got my tickets for the Glos game next Friday. I thought this one might be close to a sell out, but doesn't look like they've even opened the top tier, and there's plenty of tickets left around the ground.

Friday night. And half the crowd was Bath. Personally at £30-50 a ticket for non-members think they're pitching it too high. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 They seem to be good at picking up these bonus points, shame they couldnt have kept it to 7. Thankfully they dont have goalscoring points in football, we´d be screwed this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there and would guesstimate a 75% Bristol / 25% Bath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the gates since which suggest what you have said above is wrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 15,000 now sold. Not a bad crowd, but really should be getting at least 20,000 for this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Big game tonight, personally I think if we can get 17k plus that would be good, only Leicester get higher attendances. Can't see us getting anything out of this but hopefully we can give them a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, as a non-rugby follower..........why do they name their team so early, you don't get that at football, hour before, tops ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Certainly need a win, tough, tough game. I’m just hoping I don’t see a thrashing tonight and again at Preston tomorrow I don’t mind ‘impact players’ as it sounds like they are there for a reason, subs always sound like they are second best, didn’t make the team, which is what they are I guess ( in both football and rugby). ‘Impact players’ sound like they have a role to play, are needed which is nice.

Basically BS though ain't it . Had to call them "replacements" originally, to distance themselves from those awful "soccer" types ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
