In all fairness Miah,when you come on here you are dealing with the world leaders of iffy penalty decisions!

What's a penalty?

And how do we get one?

Point of order sir....

In the same way that Krakatoa was actually West of Java, you, Ipswich and Norwich are a trip East from Bristol.

Must be why so few rovers fans turned up.

They all thought it was a trip westwards and so are currently somewhere in the Atlantic trying to make the game…

290 of them there tonight, fair play to all who went, one hell of a midweek trek. Can't imagine we'll hear many of then crowing about their away support tonight though...

I know of a fair few with tickets who won't now be going given the lack of trains.

Wasn't the lack of trains known an issue before tickets became available?

How many will make this trip do you reckon? Think we took less than 200 for a Monday night game on Sky one year, 300ish possible? 

We've sold 250 thus far apparently, I think our good form persuades a few more London folk to make the journey. Could be looking at 400 plus with a win on Saturday 

Realise its almost getting boring praising him but my God what a player. 

Ran the show today, best teenager in the football league right now? His potential is huge and its a joy to be able to watch him in a City shirt, sublime player

8,821

200 away

£10 tickets & quid a kid.

#build a bigger stadium 

Compare that to our 22k home fans against Sunderland on the first day of the season, with a similar ticket price offer (£15 to £10). 

Mind the chasm...

How did Tanner do as emergency CB? Odd choice, but shows our lack of depth there.

Offensively he provided good support on the overlap down the right, and acted like a right back by getting out wide and making himself available. 

Got caught a couple of times in the first half, let their forward player have way too much space to get their only shot away and was turned too easily a couple of times. Don't think he's a ling term option there, but he did a job against the reserves of a lower league club

Sour grapes though, as is usually the case when one of the clubs best players forces through a move

Doesn’t look like it, a lot of the comments are about his attitude and lack of desire. Seems like he’s a talented player who doesn’t  have the work ethic to go with it and disappeared when things got tough, we’ve had a few of them in the past few years for sure!

A transfer saga spanning all summer, sorted for a fee of….£200k. Christ. 

And Wimbledon fans celebrating wildly on their Twitter page because they have sold him…

At least the 350 of them that got in saw a few goals.

Bet the 10000 locked out were gutted to miss out on the action…

Quiet. 

Those people that are here are all Coventry fans.

£3.60 a pint though...so some upsides.

 

3.50 for mine!

Where did the neutral venue information you heard about come from?

 

A friend of a friend who works at the club. Sounds very vague I know but I have no reason to doubt it. Looking at the state of Covs pitch I’d be very surprised if it went ahead there, so a neutral venue makes sense, even if it would be a logistical nightmare I’d imagine

FFS, I was holding off buying them given the uncertainty - now I may not be able to go.  Absolute shambles. (Not City's fault though - but possibly!)

Don’t take my word for it yet!

As far as I’m aware stuff will be announced this morning, but the club are keeping the details very quiet

Tickets have been taken off sale. As far as I’m aware it’s going to be played at a neutral venue with only people who have pre purchased tickets allowed entry, not totally sure where though

A) not reading the guardian.

B)that is some insane amount of wall.

 

 

What is the prediction?

If you'd bothered to read the opening post before replying you'd see that the OP has copy and pasted it out for us!

Anyone know if these tickets are being sold online or by phone?

Nothing on the tickets section of the website!

They come on sale at 10am tomorrow, so I doubt there would be anything about them in there yet!

Wow, is this genuine?

Yep, straight from their twitter.

Not massively surprised vince would write something like that considering his straight talking nature

FGR pulling no punches here!

What is the outcome for the successful side in the final?  I know nothing of this so i'm unsure if it is a promotion, kudos or curly wurlys.  

Because we have a category 2 academy I don't think promotion is possible and thus it is just kudos (and presumably a trophy!)

They're not noisy though 

Fair play to them, even if they didn't make it today it was a hell of a turn around this season. And personally I don't care much for them until they're actual rivals.

Happy for the sound gash fans that contribute on here too 

Does this make the guy who scored for Barrow 'the gash Colin daniel'? 

Nah, thats Dean Windass. 

You know, the guy who stopped us getting to the Premier league after we'd finished 4th in a league they could only dream of being in...

Fair play to them. 

Let's not forget, they're still a division below us, they've scraped promotion ahead of Northampton on the final day. The gap is still huge in every way possible, them spending a year in league one won't change that

A comment from their Twitter page, they really don’t help themselves do they?

’We could probably fill out a 30,000 seater for occasions like this. Absolute sleeping giant we are, get us the new stadium @waelalqadi and we will be premier league in 10 years.’

Plenty of comments underneath saying that them selling out on Saturday is ‘proof they need a bigger stadium’. Who’s going to tell them that selling out a restricted capacity once a season isn’t proof you need a bigger ground…

Indeed. It would be an interesting comparison to show what we were taking away in the 07/08 season when we obviously got to the play-off final and led the Championship for many weeks..

Every away game i seemed to go to that season we had sold out so I’d imagine we were averaging close to 2k every away game? Would be interesting if anyone has the data on that season’s away attendance's..

https://www.bcfc.co.uk/fanzone/away-days/away-days-200708/
 

The club have all away attendances from 01/02 to 17/18 available to look through (not really sure why they stopped to be honest!)

Manor Farm beat frome 3-1. 1 win away from the southern league premier now, the highest level the club would have played at I believe, been an incredible season for them
