Bought £10 tickets with no booking fee.

Well I guess that’s good in that case . At least we know it’s not anything deliberate, just random . We do like a tombola at The Gate

Were there any other additional problems to the below as the SC&T are meeting with the club next on the 23rd so I will feed back 

- Ticket prices being higher than advertised 

- Some getting additional booking fee

- Calling the club but getting no answer 

- Season ticket seat not showing on account 

- Previously linked accounts no longer showing 

I have a suspicion that the most expensive seats have avoided the admin fee (£25+) but the cheaper ones may have been loaded with the fee going by the experiences of friends / others sat near me . 

Apparently we’re trialing a new booking system called “ Horizon” supplied by Fujitsu !!

Routinely check mine on the morning of a game, as a precaution. Always been OK up to now, but this time it has not updated to today's fixture v Millwall and is still showing Hull 22 December. Nothing on the app to allow you to initiate an update, as far as I can see (iPhone).

Anyone else have this problem, or any advice on how to resolve? Thanks.

Go into settings . Turn off notifications then turn them back on and it should update straight away .

£35 quid as well for a ticket in the away end which given the time of year seems a little bit strong

Agreed . Really disappointing turn out on NY Day for them . Awful , but really not helped by the cost of the ticket .

I've watched dull football in my time ...but my goodness. 

It feels like we can win this but we need to change something. 

Not sure about Max not launching it once. I know his kicking isn't incredible but surely mixing in one or two launches might at least make the opponent think?

Not awful, but pretty flat and uninspiring imo.

We need Bell and Conway on for their pace . Nahki’s been passive so far . The game’s there for the taking if we’re brave ! 

Clear to see that we’re not a team that thrives on possession . We’ve beaten 3 attacking teams who were trying to win the game in recent weeks and Brums nervousness and lack of ambition seems to have stumped us ! 

Seriously wish the Robins TV commentator would actually commentate occasionally! I feel like I’m interrupting his cosy little chat with Mcrorie !!

If you turn your automatic updates off and back on then it should update 

Brilliant ! That worked thanks . I was still sulking that I was going to miss “ Saturday” game against Hull last night when I realised we were playing Friday !! Result

My season card hasn’t yet renewed for the Hull game ( maybe because I missed  the Sunderland game ) Anyone know how to refresh it ?

I actually hope he stays and (gets the team winning OR) gets the payout he’s due. This one is all on the board

I agree . But in that interview he looks like a man who has just spent two seasons trying to keep a team up and is failing ! No manager should look like that after 6 weeks !

I just don’t think he’s the right man for this squad, and that’s not all on him- think a lot of people can see what he’s trying to implement- controlled possession and intricate passing, but I don’t think the squad is capable of delivering that. I don’t think NP necessarily wanted to play the more direct game that we saw, but I think he realised that with Scott gone we didn’t have the requisite ball players in the team so try and hit channels quickly, possibly ala Leicester with Vardy. Big NP fan, but have nothing but sympathy for LM at this point

I agree to a point but he allowed himself to be flattered by a far bigger club than Oxford and didn’t consider the consequences it seems . Any idiot could have “ read the room “after Nige’s sacking  and realised that this was a potential disaster waiting to happen . If was his choice to take the ££ so has to face the consequences sadly .

There are only 3 people at the club who feel this is a “top end” squad. 
 

Nige didn’t think it. Liam hasn’t said it. 
Most of us were happy with 9th-13th ish this season.

ALL flak should only be going in the direction of the idiotic ones who came out with such bullshit about the quality of this squad and therefore heaped 100 tonnes of pressure onto the new manager. 

I can see the Coppell situation arising again here where he walks to protect himself .

Im totally with you , and it’s probably the angriest I’ve sensed amongst a lot of us

 

But , but , but

All I’m saying is if that happens , and I guess I know I’m p****g in the wind , but we are ultimately going to shoot ourselves in the foot.

I think they should be reminded at every opportunity of what they did and how they did it , but away from those 90 odd mins at the bare minimum 

I can see the fans having a major influence on any unfolding , to , ultimately our own significant cost.

Tbf it’s a individual choice but I’d hope a few would at least think it through

I’m pretty sure there are thousands of fans who are so angry it’s already gone way past rational and considered support . It will kick off massively on Saturday if it goes badly and I wouldn’t be shocked to see Manning walk over the next couple of weeks . Not his fault ( entirely) but he should not be there. Much like the Chairman , he’s not qualified or experienced enough . 

Never seen a Manager look so shell shocked after 7 games . Almost looked tearful at the start of that ! The poor guy has got carried away and has I fear , taken on a monster that’s gonna chew his arse off very quickly . I can see a very short tenure here !

In his Radio Bristol interview he said "I know there has been some frustrated people for not getting opportunities"

It just seems that the collective team spirit isn't what it was. 

Sounds like team moral has gone totally t@@s up ! I’ve never been so livid as a City fan as I am now . Had a season ticket for 20 years and barely missed a home game since 1977 but I really feel like I’ve had enough now .

That interview doesn't fill with confidence.

He sounds like somebody who thinking  WTF have I done coming here

And if we get rolled over by Sunderland on Saturday , the Chorus of “ One Nigel Pearson” will surely be heard . Can’t even imagine how that will feel for Liam Manning but pretty sure it’s coming his way very soon . Sorry Liam but you’ve been thrown under a bus by Junior with his old man behind the wheel ! Blind Ambition isn’t always a good thing buddy ! 

Dear Jon . Congratulations, you have sacked a popular manager who had managed at the very top level because your ego couldn’t handle your utter ineptitude being exposed by his experience and knowledge . In his place you appoint a total rookie who is rapidly appearing to be totally out of his depth and in danger of being swallowed whole by the brutal reality of a Division he’s neither played or managed in . Have the good grace to acknowledge that you are equally out of your depth because your ineptitude is about to undo 25 years of Daddy’s work .

It feels like everyone’s losing at the moment, he was clearly onto something at Oxford. May well have had a League title on his CV come May. Poor bloke looks downbeat.

He’s committed career suicide coming here . Other owners won’t be impressed with him walking out on Oxford after 8 months . He’s walked into a shit show where the fans didn’t want him and it seems most of the playing squad didn’t . Add in his total lack of experience and he really has f@@@@d up coming here . This will end badly for everyone ………… except for Junior of course who seems to exist I. His own little version of The Truman show

Where were we in the league when Pearson was sacked? 

I suggest you hold this thought until after tomorrow’s games . We could be welll in the mire this time tomorrow night    

1 minute ago, Mr Hankey said:

Pearson had these lot playing way above their ability. Unfortunately i think we are in for some tough times ahead.

Absolutely. We had a Premier league manager that was producing silk purses out of sows ears and we replaced him with a manager who was a total rookie in League 1 !!! Wtf were the board thinking ?

We look like relegation candidates

If this score stays the same and QPR beat  Plymouth tomorrow we’ll be right in a relegation battle .  It wasn’t great but a few weeks ago when NP was still here we were all feeling optimistic and looking to the future positively . Hoping that Manning can turn it round but right now this appointment looks like a suicide mission by the board . 

There are too many individuals in life who constantly take the “high ground” on any debate in order to feel superior ( even if they actually agree with the point that’s being made by a grumbler/ ranter . ) Agreeing with the Grumbler would of course negate the warm feeling of superior intellect ! These individuals are known as a@@@@@@@s who simply don’t understand that we all need to be allowed a good rant now and again without being constantly re-educated by the likes of Matt on Bristol Live . Would he try to rationalise with his other half and educate her/ him as to their failings if they had a ranty five minutes ( and risk a missile being lobbed in his direction ) or would he sensibly just shut up , keep his head down and let them get it out of their system ? He needs to follow this ethos with us too !!!!

I've always thought that Rovers' kit was unique & famous..!

Can’t really argue with that ! Bet there’s not a footy fan in the country that wouldn’t instantly recognise that kit !  Can’t believe I’ve said this out loud
