I blame my wife. She kept commenting about the size of his thighs on Saturday.

Perfectly put.

Thanks. I could remember listening to cup games on the internet but wasn’t sure if league or fa cup

I listen on an internet radio or the BBC Sounds app, but it’s the same as the website. You can’t listen to league matches (as prohibited) but I have listened to some cup matches in the past on the internet so it may be the same on Weds - don’t know for sure though. If I can’t, I’ll use Robins TV audio.

OS says Weds for me. The app also says Weds for me but note the app updated today (Apple) so you may want to check you have the up to date version.

Wednesday. Because it isn’t a league match, might be able to listen to it on Radio Bristol on the internet (in addition to Robins TV audio). Will have to see but that has been possible in the past.

My wife’s season ticket automatically updated yesterday. I updated mine manually yesterday (by turning automatic updates off and on).

Yes I’m not sure whether it would automatically update while it is sitting in expired. I might wait to see if it does after the Brum match but this time I moved it back to live and manually updated it. As someone else said though, you can turn off the ‘hide expired passes’ functionality on iPhones. I’d prefer not to do that as would mean I have to manually remove other old things (eg used train tickets) from my wallet - they currently move to the hidden expired section once used automatically.

I think we may find that if we don’t keep looking at/for it so much, all of this may happen automatically! That is certainly my wife’s experience - she only looked when I asked her to check hers (after mine had gone to expired) and hers was still in live and already updated to Brum on 19th. Whereas I was looking at it regularly and then saw it had moved to expired.

@1960maaan have you found it now? (In expired passes)

I agree. My wife’s ticket auto updated to 19 Aug Birmingham without her doing anything - that prompted me to switch auto updates off and on which worked for me (it may have happened automatically at some point I guess). She tells me that hers worked because, unlike me, she doesn’t bother looking at it every 5 mins!!! That’s probably the best tip (although I think I’d still check it 48 hours before the match!)

Another tip: I just turned automatic updates off and on and it updated straight away to 19 Aug Birmingham.

Mine ‘disappeared’ from my wallet today. However it was sitting in my expired passes section - same as happens to train tickets etc - so it was still there and I just moved it back to the ‘live’ page. I don’t know if this is the normal process after each match and whether it would automatically move back to live when it is updated for Birmingham - but just thought I would mention in case others find it has ‘disappeared’ from their wallets and are concerned.

Interesting that some people’s phones have been showing Birmingham on 5 Aug. Wonder if the type of phone or whether phone software is up to date has a bearing. Mine is an iPhone with software up to date and I’ve not had that issue - access was also easy yesterday. In line with the FAQs, I don’t expect it to update to ‘Birmingham on 19 Aug’ until closer to the match.

That must be it as I was surprised to see the sprinklers on given the amount of rain in the run up to the match. We only play well when we pass the ball quickly - we were slow and ponderous yesterday but that was nothing to do with the pitch in my view.

Showing a bit more physicality as well I thought - knocking opponents off the ball etc. Good to see.

Hopefully the new digital forwarding process - once people have tried it - will encourage more people to share their ticket when they are on holiday (especially now not limited to 5 times). City announced the forwarding process details a bit late in the day for this match.

Nice programme, thanks. Bought one at the Raynes Road entrance. Good that the seller was right in front of the gate so really visible.

Scrappy affair. Don’t think Preston look any better than us to be honest. Still think we’ll win though. Half time stats

I don’t think you can say Pearson is full of BS. He just said that Scott had a knock on his knee in mid week; it’s ok but need the swelling to go down.

And digital tickets will be absolute chaos ?

Yep easy; I expected this notification (popped up as I approached the ground) - just like train tickets. No queues at the south stand - straight in. Loads of people in the concourse already.

I reckon Cornick will get the nod for the same reason - plus the weather might favour his physicality. Weimann’s birthday too today.

It would be ironic if the digital tickets work today but the physical tickets don’t!

Nope. Check you have NFC though ?
