Yes , hopefully we can continue our good start to the season. Many had written us off this season, but we have a good young side. 

Good game, hopefully no trouble and 3 pts for the mighty Swans ?

Ha Ha

2 good footballing sides 

If we have all our players fit we can take the points 

Afobe has been a revelation and a match winner 

Should Be a great game though

Ok. Just seems a bit strange not to open up the whole stand to away fans. Surely it’s better to have someone occupy a seat than leave it empty.

Depends how much trouble they're going to cause to be fair.

More trouble = bigger police prescence = more cost to BCFC.

Why open up the whole stand when the profits you make will be pissed away against some braindead bellends who have more interest in causing trouble than supporting their team?

If we can hang onto André Ayew we will have a good season (best player in the championship)

Swansea didn’t come close to scoring against us in 180 mins last season, let’s hope for more of the same

That was last season.

I forgot you get a full house for every home game. Didn’t you average around 16,000 the season you lost to Hull in the play offs.

I’m a bit embarrassed for you for this comment, I assume you’ve been googling to find out average attendances 10 years ago, unless you have a detailed knowledge of our attendances (I certainly don’t), problem is you didn’t also google how big the ground was 10 years ago as well.  Poor research.

For the Palace Play off game that season, the attendance was 18.800 or something. That was around the maximum number of people we could have in the old Ashton Gate for football.

I remember most games being well attended. It was the poor away support that dragged our average attendance down. The likes of Colchester and Scunthorpe bringing like a handful of fans.

Ultimately it’s bcfc , it’s not just this game and Leeds it’s for the season for all games FYI 

 

 

You say "ultimately", does this mean the police provide information, advise and recommend in these matters or similar and the club takes the final decision?

New to all this so explanation would be appreciated. :)

Well if Bristol has aspirations of being a PL club, they should be able to handle the away end being full. Just comes across as a small club mentality that needs to restrict away fan numbers.

Liverpool give 2,000 to away teams. I guess they have a small club mentality too.

I'll tell you what a small club mentality is, being in the premier League for a number of years and not expanding the stadium, or even buying the stadium for that matter.

No recommendations, just information received from Swansea football officer as to what to expect , we share info with both clubs and it is their decision

So no doubt it will not be a sell out crowd but there will be supporters who would have liked a ticket.  Daft!!  Imagine any other sport or artistic production where this applies.  Imagine segregation at the theatre between  ... god knows.  I have family in Neath / Port Talbot and the way that you Bristolians talk about the Welsh is actually far more than bordering on racist.  Bit it reflects a recent survey that quoted the average IQ of a football 'supporter' vis a vis a cricket or rugby fan.

Interesting view

my only question is : what’ level IQ would you have if you support all three sports? 

Asking  for a friend ?

No difference between the Welsh and your average Gashead imo

Do you not think it might just be something to do with how your lot behaved storming into AG last season?

Tbh not that I condone their conduct, obviously that'd have an impact but also being taken in that escort 18 mins late, I question the decision making there. Can't have helped the situation IMO.

In a similar vein in fact to holding back fans at the end. May seem a sensible solution but can create unforeseen issues too.

Believe our fans were held back at Plymouth one year and subsequently charged the gates! Probably not ideal for public order?

Amendment to the PL regs?

Only last time I looked it was 3,000 or 10% of capacity if ground held less than 30,000.

Clearly behaviour, standing in gangways, SAG orders, police 'advice' can all play a role with these rules but that notwithstanding how's it 2k?

Absolute carnage that day if it’s the same game we are talking about ? 90/91 season if memory serves me

Before my time (probably no bad thing haha) but I remember reading it on here a little while ago.

Would it be fair to say the holdback decision didn't go according to plan- or did it in fact mitigate things?

Totally agree with you on that, no doubt they weren’t too happy with it, can also add in the fact hardly any police where at that end either, probably all resting after a long walk, but it was just the way they stormed in, taking no notice of what’s happening on the pitch, just trying to incite everyone in the other ends which thanks to a couple of idiots from our end it worked.

Yep, a lot of puzzling decisions that day.

An escort of 'risk' fans which I assume they or many of them would've been in 20% late- problems on 2 levels.

Draws attention, helps to incite and of course their anger levels. I was actually Dolman A Block that day right near the top- fairly sure a reasonable chunk of their fans seemed to be applauding the 'risk' group in but I maybe wrong?

No police, no senior stewards to combine in that corner- should've been from the start.

There were plenty in the end but not until some issues had occurred- best way to prevent or most likely way anyway is to stop it before it begins, prevention is better than cure etc!

Obviously was watching game but was surprised at the time to see zero police, zero senior stewards looked like some young ones (students earning some extra cash?) and some old guy- senior by age probably but not quite what I mean by senior steward!

Puzzled as to why that arrangement would be in place for such a game...
