BCFC1512 Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Despite being an absolute dump I fully expect this to be popular with a small allocation. Any idea on sale dates. my two visits 3-2 and 5-0!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 We should take a good number to this - fairly easy to get to, somewhere we haven't played in a while and an old school ground that should help produce a lively atmosphere. I much prefer interesting away days like this to places like Barnsley or Preston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciudad Bristol Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 so much so that last time we played them I had to go in the home end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 It’s only a 1000 allocation isn’t it? If so I fully expect us to sell out, hope to make it although totally dependent on travel prices... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerox6060 Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Possibly the worst view from an away end I've been to, from memory of my days watching Steve Howard terrorise our defence every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red7 Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Went there to watch City many years ago. Luckily the game got called off (very late on), so didn't have to spend too long there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Crikey, it’s been a while since I’ve been there to watch City. Must have been when Wilson was manager. Not the most salubrious of grounds, but full of character and well worth a visit. If I remember correctly the entrance to the turnstiles looks like to have to go through someone’s house.

formerly known as ivan Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Remember going there a while ago be leaving at half time as we were 5-0 down! Dinning had just made his loan spell permanent from what I can recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampy Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 'Despite being an absolute dump' Why do supporters always have to try and start a row? It might be true but it's not your fault where you are born. The film 'Blinded by the Light' was based there and it was a half-decent movie. And they're a well supported side if you take the average crowd/population statistic. Using that figure, Burnley are the best supported side in England along with Shrewsbury. Great Bristol with a 750k population and combined attendances of 35k comes out very badly. Went to Luton many decades ago before that daft low level stand with its executive boxes and little else ... but as posters have said, a good old-fashioned ground. And supporters will no doubt (predictably) start a row with some sort of chant about them being just a 'small town in Asia' ... a reflection of the average football 'supporter's' IQ.

I used to be a Luton Town fan up until 1977 when we moved back to Bristol. The Oak Road in my day was the home end. In the old first division days my dad had to pay 90 pence through those turnstiles. I was charged a scandalous 45 pence. Regarding the small stand that runs along the side of the pitch, it used to be called the Bobbers Stand (named after the cost to get in ie 5 pence in old money).

pongo88 Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 My one and only visit to Kenilworth Road was when, as a schoolboy, a drunken Glasgow Rangers supporter tried to steal my rosette.

1960maaan Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Been there a few times, mainly positive but..... One game we got back to my mates RS Turbo to find someone had smashed the steering lock, could have nicked it with a screwdriver, that's how we had to start it. The other memory is just about to leave the pub only to be told the game was off. Went down to Watford, in with Wolves fans as they won 4-1. I think it was the replay we went back for , which was also called off, in the pub again. Finally lost 2-0 some 17 days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Fox Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Went to the League Cup match there a couple of years ago (lost 2-3) , had a couple of pints in the Conservative Club, followed by one of the best, and cheapest, curries i've ever had in one of the local restaurants, not so bad. First visit there was early 70's, we lost 0-3 , Malcolm Macdonald tore us apart, however the Luton Supporters club were happy to serve me cider , age 15, so could have been worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
