I see there is yet another new shirt with the bloody awful splat on it! ??

Yea the retro ones look good. Fancy a few retro England shirts. Yea send a few pics when you get a chance pal, that would be great. Thanks.

Looks decent that tbf. Probably better quality than the real ones! ? Can't complain for £12 that's for sure. ?

Brilliant, thanks. Thought that might have been the case. Tempted to get one and see what they're like. If decent then am tempted to get others, like European teams and retro shirts. How do you know which one to buy though, as there are loads of different ads and prices? Are they different sellers? Just pick one at random? Assume it is the same product?

A copy one, or the proper one from the shop? I'm referring to the knock off ones from China.

Yea aware its gunna be cheap, but wouldn't mind having one for just wearing around at home etc and am certainly not forking out the extortionate prices they are charging for the office shite! ?

What are those dhgate ones like? I mean I'm not expecting exceptional quality, but are they decent enough for the price? Also, have had a look on site and most pictures show shirt without manufacturer badge on chest. Do they actually arrive as shown, or do they have the manufacturer on too? Wouldn't want to buy it without, as would definitely look like a cheap knock off.

Does anyone have any experience or sitting in the corner or the South Stand where the rail seats are? When sitting, do the rails offer a restricted view for children? A friend of mine has bought season tickets for Bristol Bears in that block, but wasn't aware that the rail seats were in place. It isn't advertised on the ticketing page and the photo shown online was taken before the rails were installed (bit crafty!). Any advice would be gratefully received, so I can pass over to him. He has an 8 year old child, so worried he may have obstructed view. Obviously that section is not used for standing in the same way that it is for City. Thanks in advance.

Legend, cheers pal.

Hi, Can I possibly get an early request in for a couple of Mates Rates codes for the Preston game? If anyone doesn't intend using theirs, then I would be very grateful. I understand that the codes are due to be emailed out next Monday (10th July). I do already have a membership, which is also offering £15 tickets for the game, but as I'd like to take the family too then I'll need more tickets. I would ideally like to order 5/6 tickets, so would need 3 mates rates codes ideally. If anyone can help then it will be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Other thing is, if you order something from the shop as 'a reward', then do you have to pay for postage to get it delivered too? Hardly a reward if you have to pay £5 postage for some tat you don't really want! Useless system!

God, that was stressful! Went on bang on 10am and there were plenty available all over the stadium. By the time I'd then checked a couple of different areas for available seats, they were then showing as nearly all gone! I almost panicked and bought seats in an area I didn't particularly want, as it looked like that or nothing, but then went back in a few mins later and all the other areas had opened up again. I guess everyone went on at the same time and put loads of seats in their basket, but then released them when they decided what they want, so the system caught up again. Anyway, managed to get decent seats in Lansdown Lower in the end, so happy with that. ?

Can anyone confirm that I will be able to buy tickets for other members tomorrow morning (have been to at least 4 matches this season) as long as that person is linked to my account? When I have ordered tickets before, I have just selected 2 seats and then in the checkout I change 'assign owner' so that each seat has a different member applied. Is there any reason why this wouldn't be any different for this game? I have tried calling the club today, but didn't fancy staying on hold for an hour! Also, will the system automatically recognise that the other linked member has also attended at least 4 matches, and therefore be eligible to book, even though it was myself who actually purchased the tickets (bought 2 tickets)?

For anyone who thinks it's too expensive, take a look at the prices for Bristol Bears. Home game vs Newcastle (not one of the 'big boys') in a few weeks is £62 for adults in Central Lansdown! So they have to pay those prices every single week, this is just a one-off special event.

Same thing though really. I don't think there will be anywhere near as many Bears members as City ones, and the ones that are probably won't have much interest in football and not want to go anyway. Anyone can buy a membership, and if anyone plans to attend a few matches a season and would like the priority access for big games then it is a no-brainer to have one.

I don't think it will be to be honest. The best chance of getting a ticket would be to sign up for a membership. Most supporters who attend regular matches (home and away) will likely be a member anyway, as it pays for itself after attending a couple of games, so they are already rewarding those that support the team regularly.

It will be exactly that. ST holders, then members, then general sale. Hence why the club have been promoting the membership ever since the draw was made, trying to get people to sign up for a membership to make an extra £20! There will be around 22k seats available to City fans, so assuming they only let ST holders and members buy 1 ticket each, then there will likely be at least 5k available for general sale.

Got it now. Thanks.

Can anyone get a stream that works? Hesgoal not working for me.

IF we win this, then interesting to note that the 3rd round takes place only 2 weeks before the start of the World Cup. Therefore if we get one of the top teams in the draw then chances are that their top stars will not play, so could be a good opportunity to beat a 'big team' and progress further.

Yep not sure where he goes from here either. Wilder would still be a huge fight I guess.

AJ can't get near him. Usyk's movement is superb! Usyk win every round so far I reckon.

100%. Just chasing the big money. As if they need any more money! Could have still earned huge amounts fighting in a stadium over here, and could have also been involved in one of the biggest events of all time. Joke!

Hrgovic just looks like he doesn't even want to be there! Looks disinterested. Very strange.
