Rudolf Hucker Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 So what will the crowd be at the Mem for their League encounter with Sunderland on Saturday 23rd February, and what will be the Fewer's contribution to that figure? Sunderland have been allocated 1,408 tickets for this game appear to have sold out (and 1,918 for their Checktrade Trophy semi-final on Tuesday 5th March). I'm going for 9870 in total, 8462 Fewers. All only to see the Sunderland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All only to see the Sunderland. They’ll have near to 10k (include Sunderland fans obviously). Afterwards they’ll be all over Social Media claiming that this (once in a season) bumper crowd proves they’ve outgrown the Mem and have huge, loyal support that we can only dream of. Then it’ll be back to 7.5k tops for games against the teams they play most seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect but it’s bad enough trying to educate the 15ers about this. For a city fan not to know how Bristol sport operate is pretty poor.

SirColinOfMansfield Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Just in case you need to start your day with a smile ... "Quite often think how I would spend say, £100M from a big euromillions jackpot. I wouldn’t want to run the club, because i could quite easy squander everything and as a fan I’d probably be dumb with the money. I’d basically clear the debt, and build a ground. I’d name one stand, the safe standing one, after me. Or perhaps the ground would be the “Gregory Stevens stadium”. I’d like to be remembered for what I’d done for the club, but not really into running it. Ideally I’d clear debt and build ground and ensure the ground is held in a trust for the club alone, and I’d also have a cheeky 5% stadium profits. Never going to pay me back but I least my relatives will benefit when I’m gone. And they’d have some kind of say in it too, having an interest. I’d like to build it on the mem site. NCP could build a multi story to save space. Some other things I would inisist on: - smokers and vapers catered for with a proper covered area. Its no bother, and nice to treat fans like human beings. - family stand miled from where the boisterous fans. So we can all have what we want at a game - Family tickets to lower the cost for people with kids - an urn filled with the ashes of our arsoned stand with a mural saying “Fire doesn’t stop gas” and a range of photos of city pitch invasions, vandalism and aggression so younger fans know about the past and don’t believe the Bristol sport “family club” posters. - statues and pictures of key rovers legends on the way in. No nick higgs - free entrance for disabled war veterans and holders of military honours - a large safe standing terrace to lead the way in ground reform, and increase capacity - an app based bar with rapid pint pulling. Limited options - 1 lager, 1 cider, coke and poss one real ale. Just order and pick up from a dude rapidly pulling pints. No cash. - 2 types of steward. One “heavy mob” for sorting out trouble and ejecting people. One other type trained in customer service and there to help fans, sell tickets and improve the match day experience. Just a few ideas. Any other rovers fantasies worth a chuckle about?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
