Bristol Rob Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 I presume that the FA just 'rent' the stadium for the night and have agreed to a pricing structure that allows City to discount tickets for season ticket holders. Quite a few FEWERS aren't going because they don't want to give any cash to 'they gurt Teds' but, if they just buy a ticket and don't spend anything at the stadium, they wouldn't be. Amazed at just how bitter they appear to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazed at just how bitter they appear to be. I Rovers fan I work with runs a junior side - they have their fa charter allocation & 50+ kids/adults will be heading to the South Stand. He's actually quite looking forward to seeing the stadium. I'm looking forward to seeing how depressed he is on Friday after he realises how far behind us they really are off the pitch (and on it in a non-footballing Desso v Mud Bath sense). Anyway, for me it'll be nice to not have to worry about the result for a change, and find out whether I can actually see anything from 15 rows back in the Upper Lansdown. That's assuming I can both work out how to get up there and be fit enough to do it. Come on England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a very family-friendly occasion with family-friendly prices, but on a weekday school night. Rules a lot of us out. One night will hardly damage a school career... When I look back to '72 I honestly cant remember one days exam revision but I do remember the night Ashton Gate hosted England vs East Germany under 23's … the Germans won 1 -0 in front of a 20,000 crowd. Future England stars that night included, K Keegan, F Lampard, M McDonald, Mick Channon, ex Gas Liverpools Larry Lloyd, etc.. Like I said, cant remember suffering from lack of a nights school revision but can well remember going to The Gate that night in 1972 and exchanging waves with the East Germans as their coach went past us in Bedminster after the game on their way back to behind the 'Iron Curtain' . Remember feeling so sorry for them and their lack of freedom compared to us in the West despite them being first class athletes. So I say C Red if you and anyone else wishing to go can get tickets, sod school, don't let that deny the kids a possible lifetime memory, it wont harm 'em, will it?

Do we know this for sure? Perhaps @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO can answer? Hi Phil, you should still be able to purchase 4 seats together as the upper tier of the Lansdown is open. https://tickets.bristol-sport.co.uk/en-GB/events/an england under-21 international - england v poland/2019-3-21_19.45/ashton gate stadium?hallmap Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 I'm looking forward to this game with real anticipation of seeing some very good quality on the pitch. I last saw an under 21 or maybe u23 back in 1996 ? ,when Buffon was in the Italian goal. Whatever happened to him? And with Lloyd, Tammy, and Jay in the squad plenty of local interest.

redsince82 Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 In light of recent situations regarding fans of Leeds being refused entry to "home" areas of the ground. Where does this fixture stand with regard to persons of polish heritage? Asking for a friend as somebody i might know may know of a perfectly harmless polish person who may or may not have purchased a ticket in an area usually reserved for, shall we say, "home" fans.

I've ended up in S82 as I completely forgot to book tickets. It's advertised as a unreserved area but as we all know everyone will have a seat number on their tickets as that's just the way it works. There will be a lot of non football regulars at this game so I am slightly worried there may be a few arguements in this area as people argue about people being in their seat.

The Ryan Air flight due to arrive at Bristol Airport from Warsaw at 17.45 will be greeted by a huge Police presence, and Vodka and Tyskie fuelled fans will be escorted to the ground (Swansea style) via the Knight's Templar near Temple Meads and will arrive at AG approximately 20 minutes late Actually, having been to many U23/U21 games at AG they are tremendous family orientated nights, particularly remember when we played Turkey around 1985 and they had a very vocal bunch of fans (more like 100 rather than the 3000+ Polish fans coming in tonight) in the centre of the old enclosure, all a lot of fun. Also remembering being in the Atyeo for the Italy game and being impressed at the numbers from all over England coming to watch, and I don't just mean locals who support Liverpool/Manchester etc. The fact that the ground has been vastly upgraded and it looks like being a near sell out, the fact that we have 2 current City players in the squad, as well as a very popular former player, is all good for the club and Bristol as a whole. Could not get to this one, will be recording on BT Sport, hope everyone enjoys the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
