myol'man Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Before this gets dumped onto the non-football thread, very strange timing for this offer. City season card holders and members can watch Bristol vs Sale Sharks at Ashton Gate this Friday night for £10 Oh, hang on a minute City are playing away at Barnsley, live on Sky. Conflict of interest methinks. Great to encourage cross sport support but maybe more thought could have been put into the timing of this offer?

BRISTOL86 Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Slightly off tangent but do season card holders still get a free rugby game ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 They did this a couple of seasons back with a cup game that clashed with us playing derby away on sky. I decided to go to the cup game which Bristol won 63-0 as we drew 0-0 v derby... It is definitely a weird time to do it. @BRISTOL86 it looks like that deal has stopped this season, although I may be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnsley was originally a Saturday match and changed to Friday by Sky TV, so I believe. Even so, those City fans who want to be at Oakwell in person, will be. I don't know how many City ST holders also have a Bears ST but it is probably several hundred. I'll be there, watching a live game and following City on Radio Bristol or by text. So where is there a problem? And by the way, many Bristol Rugby fans are interested in how City are doing. Certainly, several who sit near me ask how we're playing. And one guy in the row in front, lives in Coventry, follows both Sky Blues and Bristol, so we chat about our clubs news. Following two different sports is not unusual.

I'll be watching the City match in a pub somewhere instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 I’ll be at the rugby but trying to watch City too. Will it be shown in the sports bar I’m wondering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
