8 men had a dream

Blimey - just checked my bank online, and there are now lots of pending BCFC charges!
For the £1.25 or £2.50 charges...

But still the transaction online wouldn't work

Same for me - can't pay with any card.
Being trying multiple times with 2 different cards.

Why do have to pay anyway! What's with the £1.25 charge?
If there was no cost to pay, I could have just moved my seat.

Phone line is engaged.

What a great system..... again

To be honest, I'm fed up of the usual easily-offended outrage-seekers constantly trying to find things to whinge about and spoil things for everyone else.

It's a tiny cross in a relatively hidden area the kit in a slightly different colour FFS and it's not even the first time someone's played around a bit with a national flag. (Team GB in 2012, for example). It's a minor design choice. And frankly, if someone is so insecure in their sense of national identity that a slightly different flag sends them into a panic then that says far more about them than anything else. I suspect the vast majority of us are secure enough in our sense of Englishness to not need to treat a minor change in the colour of one small cross as an issue. I feel pretty confident that - on Saturday, Tuesday and any other England game - there will be more than enough St George Crosses to compensate.

As ever, it's a tiny number of people constantly trying to undermine our sense of national cohesion and pretending they own the concept of Englishness in the way the rest of us somehow do not. I'm frankly sick of the neediness, attention-seeking and attempts to divide England as a nation. 

Yes I totally agree.

We are about to play 2 excellent friendlies, have a really promising tournament on the horizon and yet there is an issue that has divided England's supporters.

Reminds me about the Euros 2020(21) when the divisive issue was taking the knee - rather than everyone uniting around the England team.

It's such a shame things become so divisive these days.

It's the lead on the Daily Mail!! Surely there are more important things happening in the world.

Division results in engagement results in profits.

I regularly buy from these types of listings for my nephews footy kits, and I’m almost certain they are official ones that are either off the back a lorry, or stolen….or both. 
 

Saves you a good £100+ for anyone after one!

Not available anymore - have you got some new links please?
Or a link to the actual seller.
Thanks

They're pretty good. DHgate? (black swoosh, not blue and not red tongues on Lions)

So, with two games left to play, the replays are:

Forest v City

Southampton v Watford

Plymouth v Leeds

Villa v Chelsea

Coventry v Wednesday

Half a chance of ours being on TV? Villa v Chelsea & Plymouth v Leeds will be on I`m sure but provided there`s a winner in Newport v Man Utd & Blackburn v Wrexham I reckon there`s a chance.

With only us and Villa v Chelsea on the Wednesday (the other ties being played on the Tuesday), I assume we won't be on TV?

You’ve chosen a season ticket in the most expensive part of the ground, then complain when you are charged the highest price for a cup game - which still isn’t extortionate by any means.

Are you ever happy about anything?

Even though your season ticket might be in one part of the ground, for these FA Cup sales you can buy a ticket in any part of the ground.
I did that for West Ham

Have they knocked fees on the head now? I definitely seen a £1.25 fee when I first put them in my basket, but after doing some messing around and putting them back in the basket a 2nd time, no fees? 

I've never managed to get the fees to disappear... 
Today I had a £1.25 fee for a Print at Home ticket!

Yeah, I can't see that eurostar tickets are on sale yet? Maybe next week or two.

I think they are on sale and gradually going up in price I think.
I've seen people on the ESTC Facebook site put screenshots up of their Eurostar tickets.
I remember one was for a return to Cologne via Brussels at £220

My son got an U18 Lower Tier ticket but wants to swap for a Upper Tier Rail seating ticket.

If anyone wants to do that, please message me.

Thanks

Those Going via Train

Buy a ticket to Ealing Broadway, significantly cheaper and allows you to get off at Paddington.

WTF!! that is a brilliant tip!! I never knew that.
I get the train quite a bit with England games and that will save me a fair bit..
Thanks!

Brilliant guide - thanks Jon.
I imagine that site (and yourself), will get much busier once the draw is made in December.

Opened early again - 09:57 ish

Correct. The two tier North Stand. How it will be split I dunno.

I understand it- the sad and untimely passing of their chairman, want as many fans in the ground to pay tribute..I would say that our restrictions at Ashton Gate are off by the charts by comparison.

They:

*Usually cannot sell the Lower Tier v many opponents for alleged safety reasons. (Norwich seem to get it often or some of it).

*Have a separate walkway for away fans, which btw will be unavailable Saturday due to strikes iirc.

Interesting review which references Point 2 a bit.

"Have a separate walkway for away fans, which btw will be unavailable Saturday due to strikes iirc." what does this mean please?

Is the overland at South Bermondsey not available tomorrow?

Looks like the first league match you can buy tickets for E34 is the 21st October against Cov!
When there's 459 seats available...

I imagine nearer the time, the club will close that section off again for sale - just like they've done for the earlier games,

Seems pretty crap that. especially as it's the cheapest block to buy a ticket in the whole ground...

We had the "U12 free shirt with season ticket" email yesterday.
Went online to buy it....

Yeah thanks for the heads up.
We've applied and got tickets for a match - they will go to a very good home.

I was at the England game in Malta on Friday and saw this brilliant City flag.
The two lads were trying to tie it up on top of the stand but were made to take it down in the end.
It had a cow in the bottom left corner and Thatchers bottom right
Any takers on here whose flag it was?

Also met some nice City young lads from Portishead and Clevedon.
And a City lad and his mates from Withywood who couldn't get in so watched it in a pub.

* You make a valid point about the Albanians , though they are only one strand of the problem , albeit a significant one 

Nearly % 50 of migrants crossing the English channel on boats and dinghies are Albanians -

Not people fleeing a war or conflict , but economic , and , many , criminal migrants -

I thought your statistic was completely wrong about the % of Albanians...

But you're right. 

This year has seen the % change from the first half of the year of 18% to the period May - September rising to 42%. Quite astounding...

These England games on Friday evening and Monday evening is it done on purpose?

If you have had a long day at work(monday),do you really want to travel to London for an uninspiring match even if you have got match day tickets

Considering its also LIVE on Channel 4.

Why can't these games be Thursday/Sunday(3pm?) or Saturday(3pm?)/Tuesday

I like travelling up for the evening games,
The 19:45 KO does make it easier to get back to Paddington for the 22:30 back to Bristol.
At a push we might now get the 22:00 too....

So yeah I prefer 19:45 to 20:00
