Bristol City v Celtic

[Red Army 75]

First pre season friendly tonight. Shame we can’t go and watch this one but will be tuning in. I know friendlies don’t interest some people but I always look forward to seeing the new signings and the different formations NP will play. Also looking forward to seeing the new training ground being used.

We Will be hearing from SL tonight as well 

[phantom]

I wonder how many people will try and get to the HPC to watch the game?

There would have been massive interest from Celtic alone, I would be amazed if some people didn't try and get a view

[sh1t_ref_again]

Think the club are taking the p1ss a bit with pricing, would not have hurt to do a reduced price for ST holders at £5 per game, but to charge the same as a standard robins TV match when years ago ST holders use to get into pre-season games free, think they are loosing the plot

[sh1t_ref_again]

looking at Celtics WEB site they will be doing a commentary (if you can understand them without a translator) https://www.celticfc.com/match/first-team/2021-22/96a30290-ce90-11eb-b576-17a6cfb92053

Why have you got to pay to watch a friendly?

All preseason games should come with the season ticket, in person or “online” imo.

10 pound is overpriced. But I am buying the 3 game pass which works out 6.66 a game which is ok IMO. But understand that doesn’t work for everyone

To be honest it's been a while since ST holders got into a friendly against a professional side for free and I'd normally expect to pay a tenner. Therefore while I am disappointed I can't physically attend as I see it £20 for 3 games is a saving of £10.

For me it's a pity that COVID has wiped out the Community friendly which always proved a great family day out and benefited a local non-league side.

I agree no problem paying a £10 to attend the game, but to charge full robins TV match day price I think is a bit off.

[Selred]

To charge the same as the Villa friendly in person is insane. I won't watch any of the streams, only go to the Villa game.

Is there something going on at ashton gate which means it couldnt be played there? Im sure a few thousand will have turned up to watch it, got some money coming in

Working on the pitch. I think 

[steviestevieneville]

As NP said , it’s nothing more than a training games as all friendlies are . But the club want to charge £10

Only just relayed the pitch 

[mozo]

Even if I don't watch it, I'm just excited that City are playing again!

[Bristol Rob]

Guess the tenner is purely because Celtic are a huge club with a global fanbase and a large number won't think twice about shelling out.

Yep, me too, and my dad goes halves with me….you can watch on two devices under one payment.  In fact I once had 4 devices all streaming at the same time.

[WWred]

It's the closest we're going to get to a European fixture for some time so perhaps £10 isn't so bad

That's their bonus for having to watch shite Scottish football week in, week out.

I'm with you Dad xx

I am going to buy the bundle, but will be working at 1pm on Tuesday. Will I be able to watch the match delayed when I get home from work? I've never needed to do that before with Robins TV, so I am unsure if it is an option?

Good question. I assumed I would miss it due to work but hopefully this is an option 

I've used RobinsTV from abroad for three seasons or so now. This is an option that I don't ever recall seeing implemented. You cannot, so far as I know, truly watch it on a "delay" service. That is, if you get home at half time, you have to watch as live, from half time, and you can't "watch from the start" as you can on a service like iPlayer. 

They may of course have updated RobinsTV over the summer, but I've not seen it advertised if they have now implemented this service.

However, the club used to put up the full 90 minutes of a game a day or so after. I can currently watch any of the games from last season when I log into RobinsTV. I've no idea if they'll do that with these friendly games though, and it's probably not quite what you are looking for.

In the 1980's / early 90's did City have a pre season 3-3 draw up there?

I was out  of the country at the time and relied on occasional newspapers. (for you young'uns, no internet then).

Haha, I so remember going on holiday and having to wait a day or two for the papers to arrive so I could find out the result!  Good times!

I watch from overseas too. My subscription is not up until December. Thus I assume I will be able to watch, without paying extra....I guess we will see!

I remember my first trip to Benidorm n 75. The World service would broadcast the last 20 minutes of the commentary game globally and the results afterward. Bars were packed for about an hour. 

I was about 12 and was sort of paddling on the edge of the Med with my old man that afternoon before going to the bar. A small fish with a red stripe swam up to me....I said look a fish with a red stripe.....My old man said, Efing Sunderland supporters....:laugh:
