Barrs Court Red

Thankfully I can't make the last two games, or rather I have a reason not to go. I certainly won't be rushing back, and will give Friday evening games a wide birth. I'm sick of the constant flow of people to the bar during the game, or the amount of people coming in late because they've been getting drinks. Sunday games seem to attract a different crowd to a Friday but both Friday and Sunday games have a terrible lack of atmosphere, not helped by the standard of rugby on show.

Well that's that. The loudest noise of the night was the stag party in the Lansdown stand. Says it all really, as Bristol go down with barely a whimper

Bonus point win

Not looking forward to tonight. A game that will all but confirm the inevitable relegation

Where was it 28/1 at half time? I got 20/1

Because you scale the staffing levels accordingly.

I fear for the crowd levels next season. I certainly won't be getting a season ticket at the existing prices.

Sorry chap, but can't agree. While I'll blame SL for the mess the football club finds itself in, I'm not convinced he is to blame for this shocker of a season for the rugby club. it was always going to be a struggle, but players have performed to unacceptable levels, and injuries have been unfortunate. The Bristol management from CEO down should of had the club more prepared. The squad is embarrassing in its lack of even average players. As for the red in the kit, agreed.

Woefully inadequate against anything physical. It's been embarrassingly apparent all season

He's the only person I've ever sworn at when at rugby....

I don't believe they are allowed to come up. They are very much an exception, although I suspect they have more funding for conditioning/training than semi-pro/amateur clubs so I suspect this will not be a one off.

**** all to do with the Prem though ain't it? The play offs came from championship clubs being greedy at the expense of those who took a longer term view and genuinely wanted to make promotion sustainable. As it is the Championship is financially a grave yard, and I wouldn't be surprised if at the end of this 3 years the prem is expanded and ring fenced..... why do do I think this? 3 years is conveniently how long the current TV deal is

No more Championship play offs. Thos is huge as it means the club getting promoted don't need to wait till Pretty much June know what league they will be in.

Wrap Henson in cotton wool all week. What a difference having some kicking ability in the side brings.

Yes! And Barrs Court likey!!! More of the same second half Bris!

The sort of strategy I thought Bristol would take

The standing point is interesting, it was promised as part of the move over yet seems increasingly unlikely. It would certainly encourage some sort of atmosphere, as at the moment it's flat. You don't get as annoyed by the steady procession of people heading the the bar either! Personally I thought that they raised prices too soon, and never really gave it time to get people coming more often than not, a habit I guess.

Your missing out the fact that Bristol have the unenviable task of raising the average crowd from 6k to seemingly above 16k. Given the fact that matches seem pretty evenly split between Fridays and Sundays, they're not attractive as an option to anyone that can't make fixtures on those days, which leaves forking out for the match day prices. It seems SL has realised this, but seems to think the Championship is attractive enough to launch "aggressive pricing". He's wrong.

Which is dreadful. At a minimum this fixture should attract 20k, but between the abysmal rugby produced by the club and the ticket prices set by BS it just ain't gonna happen. I just can't wait for the season to end now, a complete and utter shambles.

It may well be a horror show. But then you never know, it could be a glorious victory for the plucky under-dogs!

Awful.

It will be 6000 days around Easter.

I believe it is "who?"
