People complain about mistakes made by Bristol City / Bristol Sport, but La Rochelle may have topped the scale, they didn't send the tickets over for Bristol supporters for this Saturdays game

So all Bristol supporters have to queue up to collect their tickets from outside the ground in France

Poor old Janet Marks! I don;t understand why they didn't just email print-at-home tickets or even post them. Much easier and what someone I work with did weeks ago when tickets first came out. 

Total lack of class and dignity from Cardiff. Irrespective of the ins and outs of it all.

Walked out of the ground yesterday feeling like the world had ended! Gutted. And then for Newcastle to win as well. 

Over 14,000 tickets sold now. C’mon Bris. Huge match. 

It was a good guess I’ll admit

I would be there, but it's the wife's birthday, and I'm not sure it's the romantic trip that she's looking for... 

Not sure the attendance is going to be that great, as they haven't really mentioned how the sales are going and I've noticed it's been heavily advertised on social media! 

Sure I saw somewhere it was up over 13k so far

PS. Three of us City ST holders were at Wales v Ireland. Great atmosphere but one of the three wasn't very happy, cos he's got Irish in him. 

Who was the Irishman? Gerald Fitzpatrick or Patrick Fitzgerald!?

Maybe he'll throw his stick out for one of they 'blind dogs' (as they were called in the 70s, before the political correctness mob got involved and decided to call 'em guide dogs instead).

Reckon it must be perpetual darkness for then blind dogs.

#ProperLogic.

Crikey. A thread of "Things that were acceptable in the 70s . . ." would raise a few eyebrows mind

WTF is quilting?

I might go dogging instead, if anybody fancies it..?

It’s free for City season ticket holders too. 

3pm ko too? It'll be light still so I take it you like a bit of added danger? 

Seeing as we’ve got no game to bother with and the England game is Friday night, I just wondered if many City fans will pitch up at AG for 3pm Saturday at the Bristol v. Worcester game? 

Its a massive game and a home win will go a long way to securing Prem status again next year. I expect a decent crowd and am quite surprised the club haven’t don’t more to encourage City fans to turn up and show their support. 

Would be nice to see the crowd swelled by a few who still haven’t had the chance to catch a rugby game.

Pretty gutted as it will be the first League game I’ve missed this season.

You’ve done well then. I’ve missed Bath and Glos!

Massive game v Worcester now. Win that and all but safe, lose it and Newcastle beat Sale at home and we're right back in the shit.

Huge game. Amazed there’s not free tickets or mates rates for City ST holders seeing as we’ve got no game that weekend. Pack the gate surely! 

Massive result yesterday. Expected one point but to bring all five home was awesome. Looking good.

And if it goes tits, he can get a bailout.

And a service wash 

Yeah you’d have assumed that @Mr Popodopolous would be better at money laundering than an analysis of FFP performance! 

Never. Gonna. Happen. 

Very interesting thread. Will be watching with interest.

We were able to pull out of the Metab? Transfer after everything was all agreed.

Agreed is one thing, actually signing on the dotted line is quite another. I don’t think he ever actually signed. Bit like “buying” a house, nothing’s for certain until completion.

Is that not two games in a row theyve beaten us due to a last gasp penalty try? 

Yup! Not as last gasp as the one in the league game, though! We’ve matched them in all 3 games so far this year.

65-9, decent win

An absolute mullering. Fantastic result. Could  win the group. 

Team’s up. Hopefully we can get at least a point. Wuss and Falcons both home (v. Barf and Quins respectively) also Leics v. Glos and a big game as Wasps host Saints. 

Hugely unexpected BP win for Saints last night v. Chiefs. Hopefully Wuss and Sale will get nowt at Sarries & Glos respectively. Simply must beat Falcons tmrw.
