  1. That’s the allocation everyone gets these days. Aside from that, there’s been near full scale riots between City & Plymouth down there before. Always a lively place is Plymouth.
  2. Your logic is all wrong. West Ham we were given 9000 tickets. Plymouth we got far less and is 3 months later in the season.
  3. Yeah, really enjoyed that game.
  4. If the area around AG is fine then the game will be on. We had this against Sheffield Wednesday a few years back, the rest of Bristol was hit quite badly but around BS3 it wasn’t so bad and the game went ahead.
  5. That relentless rain we had in December has killed everything. It seems all it needs is a bit of rain during the week to top it off and games are cancelled again. Doesn’t help that it seems to rain every bloody Thursday which doesn’t leave much time to dry out before the weekend.
  6. It’s Truro’s ‘home’ game as well. Only the 200 miles and 3 1/2 hour journey from where it should be played. When was the last time that Truro City played in Truro?
  7. Tammys 1st cap for the U21’s was the month after he signed on loan. He’d also only played about 40/50mins for Chelsea’s 1st team at the back end of the previous season before his season with us.
  8. It’s still not a situation that needs an over reaction though. Young player needs regular game time against adults to gain experience. Who out of our celebrated academy players currently playing for 1st team hasn’t gone down this path before becoming a regular?
  9. Tommy not making his first team debut has no bearing on this. Tommy wasn’t ready to play for the 1st team at the point he was sent out on loan to Bath and neither is EY. Going on loan to Bath doesn’t stop him training with City or the 1st team. He can still do both whilst gaining the experience of playing against adults on a regular basis which having watched him, he looks like he needs.
  10. How so? Ephraim looks a million miles off being a Championship player, currently. Playing regularly against men will help him improve more so than playing for the U21’s, much like Tommys loans did.
  11. Was there this much of an overreaction when we sent a young Tommy Conway out on loan to Bath?
  12. Would have also meant I wouldn’t have been going regularly since 2015 though. Since then I’d say I’ve spent well over £1k per season at AG.
  13. If you restricted cheap season tickets to just the family section then many just wouldn’t bother. In my case they wouldn’t have had 8 years of me buying an adults season ticket to go along with my sons U12’s. As it is, my son’s now hooked, I’m paying for his in the next catagory up with the likelihood that he will start paying for an adults ticket when the time comes for that.
  14. I’ve said it before, the growing of our fan base in recent years is a success story and much of that is probably to do with getting kids involved and watching the team from an early age. Talk of removing cheap kids tickets or withdrawing the offer of a free shirt because a few people might not be attending is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
  15. Try Yatton to BNS. Will have to change at Temple Meads but from there it’s a direct service to BNS. There’s a tram stop 2 minutes away from there to the Hawthorns which takes about 15 mins and is as cheap as chips.
  16. Are you travelling from Bristol? I’ve just looked, doesn’t look like there are any issues on the trains that day. Direct service to Birmingham New Street with the price being around £40.
  17. It’s not just the Lansdown where people move to, there’s a lot of young un’s who get into S82 from elsewhere in the ground.
  18. Literally took less than 2 seconds to know that site was a load of bollocks. Don’t know how anyone could look at that and think, yeah that looks legit
  19. There’s some absolute dribble there. I wouldn’t be taking anything on that page as fact. According to that, we have some lad up front called Sam Bellis FFS
  20. Wasn‘t it Russell Martin’s Swansea side that went to Forest the other year, had 70% possession yet got pummelled 5-0. Massive difference between possession and good possession.
  21. It seems so needless having a subfolder for ex players/employees of the club. About time it was moved back to the main forum.
  22. I think everyone’s just pointing out the appeal that some will have in doing games like Boro.
  23. So you do see the appeal that people have for doing Middlesbrough away, a weekend in Newcastle.
