weepywall Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Wouldn't be surprised to see at least 1500 from Luton, they have been travelling really well this season despite their away form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natchfever Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 The reported attendance will be what it will be, but will be interesting to see how many are actually in the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Despite my frustration with our abject manager and poor displays, the team have still been better than our home support this year. The worst home support, man-for-man, since I've been going in the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our home support has been poor because too many people are over reliant on Section 82, hopefully the whole ground will be bouncing tomorrow which will spur on the players, not holding out for much though.

MrBibs Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Exactly a year ago tomorrow we (eventually) beat 9 man Rotherham 1-0, starting a long winning run. I’m sure the mood was similarly bleak then, and if Rotherham had held out it could have got really nasty for Johnson. Who’s to say tomorrow can’t be the start of another such run, against similarly lowly opposition? I’m as hacked off as anyone with the way it is at the moment, but I always want City to win. Would happily give it a miss tomorrow mind but the youngsters I take won’t let me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poland_exile Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 What do they deserve? The sense of entitlement displayed by some fans is something that's really starting to grate - we have a nice stadium and 20,000 fans, therefore, we should be in the promotion places. What utter crap. Personally wouldn't mind if we lost a few of those fans, Ashton Gate was a happier place when it had 7 or 8 thousand people in, mates having a laugh and backing their team. Different times I know, but back then the expectations seemed more aligned to the reality of what our club actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of clubs with stadia and facilities plus infrastructure- as well as gates of course- similar to or above us at this level. That said, I do believe criticism or concern about the performance level is perfectly fair. Especially when some similar issues seem to be recurring (for me, 4-3-3 or a lack of a genuine and consistent one, hinders us for sure). However regardless of individual views, think most would agree that performance levels, something isn't quite right, hasn't been for a while. Would also add to an extent 10, 20 years ago even. Sure was more than 7-8k that you refer to but noise etc per head now than now? EastEnd had excellent acoustics which helped too, as well as proximity to away fans.
