Didn't think anybody would buy them..... Would say he must have lost a bet to be out in public like that, but this is from the same club that wore a tesco carrier bag for a while..... I reckon it's the moron who has "windyass 9" on the other rag it wears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate who is a season ticket holder has said the same thing for the last few years, said it is crazy how there isn't hardly any kids. How are they going to get anyone from this generation apart from the ones who aren't dragged down by their parents? Older ones will be passing and not getting replaced.

Bristol Rob Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Chatting to a bloke last night, he went to that tattoo convention at The Gate over the weekend, his first visit since the redevelopment. I hadn't realised he was a Fewer until he mentioned it, anyway, he was massively impressed with the convention, the stadium, the speed of service for drinks and the prices (five and a half quid a pint), was even impressed with The Robins where he'd gone before hand. Clearly not one to be converted, but he did say that the more he visits other grounds, the more desperate the Mem looks. So evidently we are doing something we'll if a Gashead had nothing but praise for the stadium, organisation and even the local area! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have mentioned this before but an ex-colleague is a Plymouth season ticket holder and each season half a dozen of them go to an away game and make a weekend of it. I can't remember who was promoted or relegated but one season they were newly in the same league as Rovers so I asked if they were going to make that their away weekend, given how easy it is to drive to and that a night out in Bristol is usually decent. He said they had ruled that out straight off because they had been before and the conditions and facilities for away fans were absolutely terrible. I think they went to Charlton in the end. Having a good, or bad, ground really makes a difference to your attendance figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, any honest person would be pushed to find fault - I visited for a concert a couple of years ago, and the only bugbear was the parking, which is pretty much the same at any sports stadium these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myol'man Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Here's a couple of posts from the Fruit Loop thread on AssChat Demand for office space is on the decline, retail struggling as so much now online, there are fewer music artists capable of filling a big venue. Traditional advertising biz in decline due to google ads etc. Build a 40K stadium, have low ticket prices to maximise capacity and make more from merch, food and drink or build a small stadium and have very high ticket prices? & How long do we get to have an approved Ground when we hit the Championship next Season? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, their average attendance last year was 7,500. So if they need a 40,000 seater stadium (5.33x the average), then surely we need a stadium that holds just a touch over 100k... #gaslogic 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it from me Matt, as a 'Woody of some vintage, we were a rarity back in the day when Kingswood was most definitely gas. Apart from the Cobbler, pretty much every pub was blue and white. We were a united but heavily outnumbered group back in the day. Still loud as **** mind! That said, we've even taken over their Kingswood heartland nowadays!

I’m 51 and the street I grew up in had more city than gas, but maybe that was an exception.I think a lot of kids like me who’s families didn’t have a connection with either team naturally gravitated to City being as they were in the old first division back then.I reckon when I was in secondary school my year was about 50/50 city/gas. As you say in the ‘wood’ we are definitely taking over these days and hopefully that will continue! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m Kingswood born and bred, I’m coming up to 41, when I was at school 25+ years ago there was more Sags, although there was always plenty of us Reds around.

Never felt like home.... Lived there nearly 20 years but still spend most of my time in South Bristol as parents and mates still live there.
