    I'm reading this in a sense of disbelief. You will win, my guess would be 3-0.

    Suggestions that we will sit back and defend are well off the mark. We simply aren't capable of doing that, nor can we defend set pieces.

    The one hope we've got, outside of the unlikely event of another "worldy" from Chair, is to isolate Sinclair Armstrong against Rob Dickie. Armstrong is powerful and fast, but don't expect him to do anything with the ball once he has got free.

    I would say enjoy the match, but you will.

     

    We speak from experience. 

    Totally expecting the worst today.

    Simple answer for the SS kids STs is… we have a Family Area, you want a £50 kids ST with your Adults then you move up there and make SS kids £150 if you still want to stay down there. That will of course just make upper Lansdown empty.

    Apparently the actual attendance was about 19k on Tuesday, that’s 4k people who have tickets, not turning up.

    Says somebody who doesn't have kids presumably.

    Why should I be forced to either leave the seat I've been sitting in for years, or pay £100 extra, just so my son can sit with me?

    That "advantage" was less than 10/15 seconds so should have given the free kick to City.

    Even though we won, all these incorrect decisions do matter. They alter the flow of the game, upset the players concentration and generally give the points to the best cheating team.

    Are you honestly suggesting that referees should wait up to 10-15 seconds before pulling play back? That's a ridiculously long amount of time - this isn't rugby.

    Personally, I feel the ref got the advantage decision correct (if we're talking about the same incident). The ball got to the intended target, Mehmeti, who then lost the ball, which had nothing to do with the original foul. 

    There was another one though, where he played advantage and then should have booked Smallbone once played had stopped, but for some reason decided not to.

    Ashton Gate may not be sold out, but the South Stand is. Thats the issue here. 

    Many will be willing to pay 385 for a SS season ticket but not willing to pay the 460-675 for a season ticket elsewhere. 

    Same thing with potd prices.

    The issue is they can't buy them because of the large amount of u12s tickets that are purchased but not used/used by adults. 

    If the club suddenly got rid of all u12s tickets in the SS (not suggesting that) then the SS would still sell out so there is a direct loss of income because of the freeloaders and then possibly buying a few beers doesn't make up for that loss income. 

     

    Just repeating something over and over again doesn't make it true.

    I suspect that the main issue here is people buying cheap (adult) SS season tickets and simply going to sit in the more expensive seats. 

    I'd argue that if the issue was simply people buying U12 season tickets and not using them, the free seats would be odd ones scattered around rather than sections of seats together. 

  5. Why do some people get so annoyed by the fact that we might appear 'tinpot' to other people?

    The fact is that we've won sod all in our history, so why can't we just enjoy celebrating any little achievements every once in a while. 

    Nice kit, looking forward to seeing us wear it on Saturday.

    31% possession ...💘

    That sums up my hatred for the type of football that Russell Martin likes to play. The vast majority of their possession was passes between their defenders and goalkeeper in their defensive third.

    Bored me to death at times last night 😴

     Great result but what? Well, normally I give you a free pass but tonight you join the clickbateable society along with countless others that I follow on YouTube, please don't stoop to their level; it's not big and it's not clever.

    I'd hardly call it clickbait when 90% of posters would have known instantly from the thread title that he was taking the piss out of himself... Cheer up and enjoy the excellent win :winner_third_h4h:
