On 27 March 2024 we parked our car at South Bristol Retail Park, Winterstoke Road, Ashton Gate and had food at KFC and made a purchase in Iceland. No one in KFC or Iceland informed us that we need to enter the car details to park in the parking.

Today we received a parking charge note for £60 for parking at South Bristol Retail Park, Winterstoke Road, Ashton Gate. This totally unfair.

Are you sure that you mean the retail park not the ground car park. I ask this as we shop there regularly and have never entered our number / not even sure we have ever seen a machine. Will look again on Thursday.

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.

That’s interesting.

By the mid/late 1970s, both The Globe and The Wheatsheaf were staunchly City.

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 find this a but odd. Did you ever frequent the Swan?

There were about 15 of us who were in there most nights. We would all meet up together before games, over the years pubs changed.

Some of us would always be at away games, usually hiring a mini bus, or if needed a Luton van.

There was also Hacker's coaches. I'm sure many old boys remember Paul.

Yes there were a number of Rovers supporters around. But most of them haven't been since Eastville. Whereas myself and all my old mates still go.

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.

You and many others can thank all those who bought tickets but never went 

At least from next season our home end will be much fuller every week

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).

I'm very glad the designated family area was in the Lower Dolman when my children were young.

Up in the God's, miles from the action, wouldn't have been the same at all, and we'd have sat elsewhere.

I can still picture my young son charging down the steps to the track when we scored with dozens of other excited kids to celebrate with the scorer.

Children like to be close to the action and see their heroes close up and there couldn't be a more unsuitable area than The Upper Lansdown to put them.

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.

Interesting linked article re Bears and the club moving people from their seats:

 

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.

I was charged £1.25 each season ticket - two booked in one transaction and £2.50 charged.

This was the Q&A:

 

All Season Tickets purchased over the phone are subject to a £2 booking fee per Season Ticket. For Season Tickets purchased online, each Season Ticket is subject to a £1.25 booking fee, excluding all Under-19 and Under-12 Season Tickets which are fee free when purchasing online.

All Carer Season Tickets are fee free.

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.

I would agree Phantom. Little flair or personality. 

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.

I'm in that photo...cheers Dave

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?

One thing I will say…

Where the hell do you sell coffee, walked in past the live band, inside and the length of the Dolman, nothing.

Had some Haze which I didn’t really want!

 

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.

He's not a Leeds fan. He's been a season ticket holder for years and was trying to get the atmosphere going.

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

FAO @Bobby girl

I know you provided me more details via a personal message, but have shared your post on the open forum - can you contact @JerrySLO either via PM on here on on X please and he will assist you

If we are able to be provided with evidence of this occurring then we will look to get this addressed swiftly.

Jerry will co-ordinate if there is anything forthcoming.

 

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 .

Not guaranteed that either will start, but the Welsh TV channel that complains it ain't got any money,

will have the FA Cup match between Bournemouth and Swansea match on S4C starting at 19:20pm

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

Time has certainly warped opinions on that. City's demise was all of their own doing. I'm glad to see the Ashton Gate 8 being treated better than they were btw, by both your club and fans.

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.
