Bobby girl

We have had our ticket come to our phones, first game is on a Thursday night. Has anyone else?

Thank you Andy for coming to our club. you have helped our young players enormously. Model professional, sad to see you go. I wish you and your family all the best for the future, and have no doubt that you will make a great coach.

Please see my reply to Bournes post re my mistake, the Wheatsheaf on the High Street I know. Was the Globe in Winterbourne Down?

I am not surprised that you found my comment odd , it should have been for 65-70 not the 70s but I didn’t know how to edit it. I know the Swan but that was always known as being in Whatleys End, but no I never went to any of the pubs. In my part of Winterbourne ( Dragon Rd End) it was definitely Gas, the family’s who supported them had done so for generations. can I ask did you go to the Ridings?

Grew up living in Winterbourne in 70s and finding a City fan was a rarity, it was all gas. We even had Rovers boss Bert Tanns daughter as our teacher, Rovers players came to the school regularly. For me it was always City after my dad took me to a game.

I hope you are correct about this, but my experience in block S23 is that it is Adults who are not turning up. We have been surrounded by empty seats for some games, and I am not only talking about recently. I also feel really sad for those adults and that their children who are now being priced out of going to games ( 2 or more children).

Our boys were with us in the East End ( stood at the front and they loved it there. It is being able to be close to their heroes and feeling part of the atmosphere that got them hooked. They are both now all these years later in SS and our grand son too.

So they are moving the Bears children down to SS to be closer to the action. Great but then City are trying to move our children from SS up to Family area, as far away from the action as possible, unbelievable.

Once again I was charged for two tickets, the same as last season. There some fans still only paying one fee for numerous adult tickets, again like last season. It seems to be a lottery

This time last season my husband and I were full of optimism for the forth coming season, this year it is dread. We still don’t know if we will renew.

perhaps she is missing NP and his encouragement, just like us fans.

Received my text message today, two emails yesterday

It is great how so many players have donated., it shows how well thought of Scott and his family are.

So sad thinking of Scotty at this time. Good to see players, explayers etc donating.

I agree, thank you @Curr Avon, loved watching that team play.

Last night there were approx 25 empty seats in 3 rows of our block in SS, mainly adult season ticket holders. The majority of these are elderly, or come from outside Bristol. How do I know this? because I am a nosy person, who loves to talk to fellow fans. Am I one of a few who got an email from the club saying if you can’t attend then you can pass your ticket on?

No sympathy

You can get hot drinks on SS concourse, service points S22/23 and S23/24.

The subject being talked about by fans walking along Winterstoke road was Cam shrugging and indicating to the fans . It looked like he was saying what am I supposed to do with Anis ? In front of me.

It was ridiculous what happened there, all those stewards, people abusing him.

I contacted Jerry on the 10th of January but did not have any reply, so I thought that I would contact you. It was fees for both cup games.Not to worry Phantom , I only queried it because others said that they had not been charged, thanks anyway.

It is surprising how many fans go there for a big breakfast before the game, away fans also .

Swansea fans are saying that this game is also on BBC I player,with English commentators.

Miah I admire fans like you who have stuck with Rovers. 1982 was horrific for City and like you I am glad that we now welcome those players back at the gate. In regards to Rovers I hate to see bad owners and sadly I think that is what they are. The true fans deserve better.

Silvia Dante your lovely parents organised a Junior Reds Xmas Party back when Osman was manager. Jacki and other players were there, Osman was late. When he arrived he told players to move away from Jacki and one other and not talk to him. Needless to say Jacki left, which meant that the children were deprived of the chance to get his autograph. I still cringe at the way he spoke to the players.
