Seems to be just standard in modern football- if someone has purchased a ticket, or is an st holder the official figures show them as having "attended" even if they have not! Club will have access to both sets of figures but there certainly were not 21,000 there Saturday IMO. We were a couple of thousand short of that figure imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City oz Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 I tried purchasing tickets for the dolman stand and other areas but they came up as not available mainly due to season ticket holders which is no problem. However there were a massive amount of seats empty in areas where tickets could not be purchased. My estimate of the true attendance would be somewhere between 16 and 18 K. At best. It’s a great stadium compared to others in the same league as city but for some reason it does not seem a stadium that can promote atmosphere - well That’s another topic for another day.

Bristolisredd Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Why shouldn't fans be aloud to leave early ? if the players don't turn up then why should we Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsquirrel Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Tuesday night we were sat in the south stand end of the dolman,on 80 mins had neck ache after watching 35 mins of the ball in our half in front of the away end. didn't try and get 1 goal back until millwall had scored 2. that was much the same as the first half and I could have quite easily have gone home at half time.

You mean twiddling with yer phone, then waiting for a parcel to arrive? People can't be bloody bothered at the moment cos 1. It's cold/wet, and 2. It's sh1te.

Wrongagain Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Been shite or at least underwhelming at home for more than just the last 2 seasons! i can understand Parson st closure causing early departure on this occasion, but I would point out that I never leave early, no matter how bad Johnson serves it up! Do I believe this year will be the one we move into the prem - no I don’t! Will we ever make it? Perhaps, but definitely not with LJ at the helm. Too clever by half and it’s obvious the players don’t rate him either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderrider Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 I did something I've never done before and left at half time. Me and the boy had been feeling shitty all week (hence we missed the Millwall game) but thought we'd make the effort. Couldn't believe what how crap we were, and when he asked to go home at half time I couldn't be bothered to argue. Utter dross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a fair few that didn't Certainly didn't look like 21k to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Person A:I hear you went to X event last night, how was it? Person B(standard response) :it was pretty good, only took me 30 minutes to get home. You may laugh, but it would need to be a very special event to persuade me to go the NEC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTeamInBristol Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 The opinion that people can do what they please as long as it doesn't affect anyone else is correct but with leaving early this isn't always the case. Few times a season I sit in the Dolman (ST in South Stand) and as soon as the 85th minute comes about dozens of fans start descending down the stairs and making people get up to let them out completely blocking the view of hundreds of people in the blocks around them especially when the ball is near the touchline. At the Wolves cup game it got tasty between the early leavers and the fans in the block next to them (quite rightly) having a go as they couldn't see the end of a very exciting game that we were pushing for the equaliser in just so people can skip the queues.

My seat is midway down the old B block in the Dolman and it’s bloody annoying when fans from higher up decide to descend with minutes still to play. They all stop and watch if anything promising is developing and guys around me all yell to keep moving but it makes no difference...........

I start making my way down with about 2 mins of injury time left...by which time there's usually a couple of end seats near the bottom free, so me and the boy dive into those to keep out of other's way. Being at the back and getting the train the only way to see all the match is to do this, but we do try to get to the bottom quickly to minimise disruption. Sadly many others don't show the same courtesy, and the stewards do nothing to shepherd them out either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
