Anyone going today - Is the Bulls pack full of Netherlands descent, Roid Headed giants like their national team? 

I was there; unfortunately the Bears didn't bother turning up

He's such a cry baby. 

They've had 8 days off since they played us. We've had to play. I'm sure with their premier league riches they have a big enough squad to rotate if they wish. They then don't play until Sunday after this game. Wouldn't surprise me if they flew to Bristol either. 

He's just annoyed they've missed out on going to Dubai. 

The fa cup 3rd and 4th round replays should be protected at all costs in my opinion as it gives lower league fans the opportunity to have a memorable replay like I hope we have tomorrow. They already got rid of the 5th and 6th round replays. That was the compromise. 

Poor lad; my heart breaks for him.

Presuming it's been mentioned before, but the rude Jamaican lady in St Nicks has someone of the best Caribbean food I've ever tasted. ackee saltfish and jerk wraps like you've never tasted before.

St. Nicks is street food heaven. The Spanish place is just awesome.

It's a bit of a leap of faith when they've not announced the entire bill.

Apart from the first x seasons of Casulty, I alsoremember Teachers, Being Human, Afterlife and recently Outlaws, being filmed in Bristol.

These 2 were exceptional to begin with, but drifted off a bit after about the 3rd series. Especially used to love Simon (Egg from This Life, Andrew Lincoln in real life) pegging it along through Knowle on his BMX then he turns the corner and he’s by the suspension bridge! 
 

Lots of the pub scenes in Teachers were filmed in the old Seymour’s Club in Barton Vale. I remember seeing the Wurzels play there supported by Fred Wedlock. It was bloody chaos!

Do Bristol Bear season ticket holders count as members?

Yes. I think Season Ticket holders get "membership" across all City/Bears/Flyers games

Hippodrome and saw Spamalot was on

Went to that. Marcus Brigstocke (sp) was in it I think. Marvellously silly.

Feel sorry for you mate, you'll be able to hear it.

Not above my screams of anguish, I won't. . . 

Still, car-parking eh. #kerching

Thank god I got tickets for the Foo Fighters at West Ham that day.

Thought it was gonna be someone good!

I really hope these aren't the "best" acts performing. We're in for a really disappointing line-up if so!

Another Q for all can you just scan the barcode from smartphone  (NOT wallet) rather than print the ticket ?

Yes - albeit you usually have to enlarge the barcode slightly for it to scan

Email took 17 minutes from my transaction completing until coming through so looks like the Bristol Sport e-mail postie is feeling a bit lethargic this morning.

Maybe it will be like when the season tickets were late arriving the other year. Maybe I'll get my email hand delivered by Scotty Murray or Lisa Knights.

Nothing to see here because you're also one of the ones thats abusing the initiative?

I have, in the past, taken advantage of the opportunity to upgrade yes. But seeing as City were always happy to oblige, in no way can I agree with you that it constitutes "abuse" - that is a ridiculous suggestion.

It's a great initiative for people like me who genuinely bring their child, however it is a system that is open to abuse and IS abused as seen on this thread. Do you happen to be one of these people? 

It's not really "abuse" is it - City are usually (or have been, in my previous experience) more than happy to upgrade as long as you pay the extra. This has been going on quite happily for years. What's the difference between upgrading in a likely sell-out v. West Ham or a dull league game v. Preston, for example? 

Nothing to see here.

Can’t see why the club don’t let me upgrade my granddaughters ticket to adult one. Can’t see her coming when she’s up at 7 for school next day. 
Surly it makes sense to allow me to pay a tenner rather than £5. 

I’ve done this plenty of times in the past and it’s never been a problem.

I don't know if the club will be interested in buying my bubble making machine?

I’m now sat here singing “bubble machine” to the tune of the Wurzels “Threshing Machine”. The magic of the cup, eh. 

Haven't been there for a few years but we have a work meal at Aqua on Welsh Back next week. Looking forward to it as have always had decent food there, going back over 20 plus years. Anyone been there recently?

It is now time to bring my experience in football, rugby and stadium communications into a wider remit as we continue to grow as a group. These are exciting times at Ashton Gate, including a world-class sporting quarter development for the city containing a 4000-seater home for the Flyers.

Not if ETM get their way.

I saw him at St George's Hall a couple of years ago. He was superb!

 

Didn’t he also play one of the last Ashton Court Festivals? 

Great thread. Like most people I had shitty boots at junior/senior school but the best ones I ever had were Hummel. Absolutely things of beauty, like wearing slippers in terms of comfort but just outstanding boots.

I have no desire to watch our players try and do well at Rugby.

TBF at the moment even the rugby players can't do well at rugby.
