    Not at all. Over the moon with it. Why would it be inconvenient?

    Oh yeah of course.....I forgot.... "I want us to fail". 

    Behave you nugget 

     

    Of course you don't want us to fail. That wasn't my implication.

    It's inconvenient because it doesn't suit your argument that we will be relegated and it will be what the board deserve, which apparently you've "been saying for weeks" - your words not mine.

    For club that has no club song and whose fans can't even put their heads together to adopt or write one, its quite amusing seeing rover's chants/songs being criticised.   Maybe you should talk to non Bristol fans who have been to both grounds and see which they say has the best atmosphere, but you wouldn't like the answer.

    I don't tend to engage with petty Rovers debate much, but this is truly laughable.

    I might be wrong but I suspect "One for the Bristol City" is probably about us for starters.

    Serious point, do you think the reduced AG capacity would have enticed fans to get STs and bump up the attendance in the event that if you had a good season they wouldnt be scrabbling for tickets.

    How many STs did you sell out of interest?

    This is an interesting point and there may be some truth in it. However, as a member rather than STH, in my experience just being a member has been enough to guarantee a ticket even this season. This is proven by the fact that all of our matches have, I believe, reached general sale, rather than sold out to members.

    Since membership is a no-brainier for any fan attending more than 2 or 3 games, this does also suggest that we might not see that big an increase in attendance next season. Perhaps some STH will drop down to member level next season with the pressure on availability now gone.

    I expect us to average around 16-17k unless we are pushing for promotion.

    Ground capacity will be 27,000 next season. I am assuming that 'football capacity' will be more like 25,000 due to segregation. There are loads of variables like night games, atrocious weather, poor form etc but all things being equal we should attract 25,000 gates for Cardiff, Newcastle, Aston Villa and possibly QPR, Derby and Forest. Not sure we'll reach 25,000 for the mighty Burton Albion.

    2,000 seats lost to segregation?! That's half the Atyeo gone! Surely no more than a few hundred.

    No nerves here. With 8 games to play I'd say we're almost safe. In fact I'd be confident enough to say we will 100% stay up.

    The only thing I would say is that before the Cardiff game we had an 8 point gap and less than four days later it was a 2 point gap. So we have already seen how quickly things can turn around.

    I'm confident, but at the moment we are only two bad results away from another OTIB meltdown!
