Well at least you lot in with your free ticket. 

I have mine to a friend who has messaged to say that they wouldn't let him in with it and asked to see my season ticket. 

He couldn't resolve it and they turned him away! 

Not good!

That part of it went smoothly for us. Was able to load ticket onto City season card. Also good to sample West Stand. Shame Bristol were so poor that's all. 

I went along too. Can't disagree with any of that. Thought Bristol might have had a sniff of a chance to at least look as if they could attack before Gavin Henson went off injured. They look doomed.

Sorry to hear that Hav, your Dad sounds like he was a true gentlemen and one of a generation that we all should be so very proud and thankful for. All the best and my condolences to you and your family. 

Can only add my condolences and a wish for three points tonight as a small tribute.

Slipped to page 2, which is a shame since they appear to be losing to the mighty Cambridge Utd.

 

Still, I suppose they are doing better than we did on my last, rather traumatic visit to the Abbey Stadium (in the fifth round of the FA Cup - have we got that far since then?)

I think we played Charlton in '94 (losing 2-0) in a replay after that night at Liverpool. Cambridge was about '90 if memory serves. 

Way too late to change the day. Should be a rule against it. Do I get a refund on my ST?

Slow going for Gloucester City ..... from the local paper:

PLANS to bring Gloucester Football Club back to the city have suffered a setback.

An outline planning planning application went before the city council on Tuesday night in a bid to get permission to continue with the development of former ground Meadow Park, which was destroyed by the 2007 floods.

However, the permission was not given by councillors who had concerns about flooding issues, and also access to the stadium.

Holes were found in the application, and also a lack of detail was pinpointed when it came to identifying particular aspects of flood defence work, and how houses up and down stream of the ground could be affected in a potential flood.

Despite this, there was some positive news in that a technical group will now be formed in an effort to progress plans to develop the site and bring The Tigers home. The group will be made up og representatives from the planning department, highways, the environment agency and the football club itself.
