People are cautious about going, and others may be in different tiers. Anyway. Can't wait. Have tickets for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Yes of course. Absolutely nothing to do with people being worried about a global pandemic, people living in Tiers that aren't allowed to attend, website issues, and only being able to buy tickets for one game out of a possible four... Personally, despite our dismal form I can't wait for this. Been far too long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything to do with it I'm confident the club have enough safety precautions and measures in place to make it a safe experience (like EVERY OTHER ground that have so far had supporters back) Boxing Day is my birthday and usually I would want nothing more than to watch City, no matter where in the country that is. You couldn't give me a ticket to watch the rubbish we're being served at the moment, the LJ years were bad enough, and we've gone back to such negative football watching paint dry would be more entertaining. Being away from the ground for so long helps make it an easy decision. For reference, I'm in a whattsapp group of City supporters, the other 35 in the group feel exactly the same way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a very good and pertinent point. For years I couldn't understand my mates missing games. Fast forward to the first corporate seats in the Williams, we got brilliant seats after relegation from the Championship with Benny, but they realised they could sell out seats to firms and said we could keep them for double the price. I realised it had become a habit, it was the social side keeping me going down (echos of last year under LJ) so I stopped. Giving up my season ticket after about 15 years and only missing the odd game before that, was hard to start, it got easier. City will have to be careful when things get back to normal. I have a feeling they will lose quite a few SC holders, could be thousands if they set the new prices wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfOfWestStreet Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 If you take the "day out" away from the experience it's just sat down on your own watching a terrible bristol city 11 in the cold. I'll watch the 30 second highlight clip on my phone to see our solitary shot on target instead. 45 minutes ago, 1960maaan said: That is a very good and pertinent point.

I never dreamt when I retired that I would not be there for every game until my lid was screwed down. Now, having been away since February by the virus, I am beginning to doubt whether I will ever go to watch City again. The last three seasons has been dire entertainment, the most boring three seasons since I started in 1950. And that includes the Fourth Division!

Alex_BCFC Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 It’s not to do with the football that I wouldn’t go - it’s fact you can’t sit in your seat, it won’t be packed with away fans and you can’t go for a drink with friends etc. Suspect same for many.

sh1t_ref_again Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Last year my mate who I have been a season ticket holder together with for 35 years, was saying he had enough as the LJ brand of football was so sh1t, I persuaded him to keep coming, as it stands I am now coming around to his way of thinking, the football is dull and boring and I am quite happy to sit at home and watch on tv which takes little effort. I use to be so passionate about the game, going mental when conceding a goal or the ref gives a bad decision against us, now i find I am just a bit disappointing but not that worried. (bit like the team really) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time that I can remember, going back to the mid 70s, that I am not going to a home game, not because of work or holidays, but because I dont want to.

OneTeamInBristol Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Personally I’m not bothered what the game will be like it’s almost secondary. Simply looking forward to the normality of getting back down the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 There is not a chance in hell i would pay money to watch this team.. i can think of so many better ways to spend my Saturday’s then to watch a Bristol City team that are lucky to have a shot on target all game. Dean is a lovely bloke but i am tired of forking out my hard earned cash in support of ‘’lovely blokes’’ **** that for a laugh..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that, I wonder if some people are attention seeking and claim to not want a ST after back to back defeats, but as soon as we win a couple all is alright with the world, :laugh:.

Oh Louie louie Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 I saw margate vs calais cup game, last year. The calais players, didnt want to shake hands, time wasted, made gestures to the crowd, and then they didnt thank the tealady. Bunch of merciless sods.

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 It stuns me that people who lived through the tenures of Keith Millen, Derek McInnes and Sean O’Driscoll (not to mention Joe Jordan second time, Tony Pulis and Brian Tinnion) now say that the last three seasons have been the worst they’ve ever experienced. We’ve been competing in the top half of one of the strongest divisions in the world. Yes, there have been ups and downs, but I’ve been a City supporter for many years and the last three seasons (which presumably includes the cup run to the semi-finals) have been far from the worst.
