Weirdly, up until Covid, Rovers 50/50 draw was extremely popular and was nearly always a 1k prize.

Then they stopped taking cash and a few sellers left and now it's around d £300

We had notice to say Ashton Gate Stadium had become a totally cashless venue. However, the 50/50 tickets are cash only. 
 

I don’t know if the prize is paid out in cash……does anyone here know?

Yet audited numbers are never released....

Do we really sell EXACTLY 2000 tickets?

I do wonder, as it’s ever an odd number paid out.

Hell of a confidence boost too, an excellent point away at one of the big clubs and getting off the bottom too. They must be buzzing on the coach home.

There’s a rude joke there, but in the current climate, I refuse to go there

So it has taken them 8 months to get enough people to take part in a draw with a fifty quid prize?

 

In comparison, City’s halftime 50/50 draw regularly pays out between £800 and £1000 every home game.

Not sure how this one slipped through the net…

After their much-lauded Pirates Pot venture failed to attract enough entrants to generate an actual winner, the recipient of the second-highest prize (an impressive £50) in the first draw turned out to be one of their star defenders.

That’s one way to save on the wage bill…

 

 

Pirates Tin Pot surely?

It might be just me but I find Mannings pre and post match reviews bland and pretty much the same. Maybe it’s the cadence of his voice but I find myself dozing off…………

The irony…

That's their excuse in nice and early then.

I wonder if we will take more to the 'Ammers than they get at home?

That’s not going to be too difficult

Qualifying criteria seems bonkers, Belgium still have a shot at qualifying and we don’t? Bit farcical.

Two late goals conceded by Belgium to keep them in with a chance…..hmmm

What a great start for the snake 

Also seen earlier they’re charging £36 adult and £32 for u18 for their games over Christmas period….wowza. Crazy how they need the money that badly when they’re the richest club in the world. 

Maybe they need to pay the kids who put up the new stand?

That'll be because nobody has cash on them

Yep. No sales due to their very own policy. 
 

They didn’t even drop their prices in a last ditched attempt to offload everything.

What does a Sunderland manager have to do not to get sacked?

Would I rather the club have a tenner than some bloke I don't know then yes I would as that increases the amount we can spend on the team

Wouldn't you rather get £10's worth for your tenner rather than less than £5's worth?

Personal choice, get that. Wasn't judging you.

I fined cashless easier (but not really any quicker) but I always have some cash on me as I don't want a single point of failure, such as a phone battery being out of juice.

I'm probably hanging on to how we used to be. I've seen many occasions where modern technology has slowed down a process that used to be simple with cash payments.

The other week, one of the outside food outlets had a 'Cash Only' sign due to a system failure. There was no queue.

1 minute ago, Bristol Rob said:

Out of interest, why don't you want to support cashless vendors?

I believe all customers should have the choice.

So with respect, and out of interest, why should I?

Most of the food outlets don't accept cash, so I don't support them. There are plenty of (cheaper) alternatives outside the stadium perimeter.

In reply to the price of bottled water made by the OP...

Iceland sells 24x500ml bottles of water for £3.75.
Bristol Sport will charge you £69.60 for the same......an extra £65.85 !!!

It sure was. Thanks Bristol Sport for prioritising rugby over football.

Two consecutive days of lots of empty red seats, good work chaps.

Rugby and Football saw 36,000 over 2 days. The shop was busy yesterday, all the food outlets had long queues, and the Sports Bar was busy.

The money must be rolling in

I wasn’t overly impressed with his appointment, especially with the quality of the manager he replaced, and thus far, my opinion of him hasn’t improved.

Obviously, I hope to be proved wrong.

Weird as anything, not in the least as the main club in the 6th city being placed 32nd in the country ain't saying anything at all

He's already sampled the Thatchers

Time a few of the squad start concentrating on being a footballer again and not attending every social event

I'm pretty sure that's part of the reason for poor results recently. They spend more time in front of the camera than they do in front of goal.

Has he mentioned "Huge club, massive fan base, took over 40k to Wembley"?

No, but he did come out with these two crackers today...

"Without talking at length about the neighbours [Bristol City] they've shown what is achievable of football clubs in Bristol and traditionally, historically, Bristol Rovers is as big a club as you get in this city."

"Bristol Rovers could become a bigger club and a sustainable Championship club."
