I think that's for tracked postage - presumably both clubs are keen to avoid the possibility of tons of tickets going AWOL in the post (especially with some of the recent reports in the Bristol Post).

Sounds like your associates weren't particularly attentive people - it's Peter Hargreaves who was a co-founder of HL.

No.

There's seems to be a pattern of you being oblivious to what's going on - you never seem to see or hear anything.

Rule 102 would also appear to be somewhat relevant in this case. Fielding an Ineligible Player 101. Subject to Rule 102, where a Player is determined to be ineligible under these Competition Rules or The Association’s Rules and has played for a Club in a Competition Match, the Professional Game Board may remove that Club from the Competition and may impose other penalties against that Club. This excludes a situation where a Player is named as a substitute but does not play in the Competition Match, in accordance with Rule 96. 102. Where a Club satisfies the Professional Game Board that it (or any of its Club Officials) did not know, and could not reasonably have known even had it made every reasonable enquiry (with the exercise of utmost caution), that the Player was ineligible, the Club shall not be removed from the Competition but may still be subject to any other penalty imposed by the Professional Game Board (including but not limited to a fine or an order that the Competition Match be replayed, without the ineligible Player).

So what is the club meant to do? Give up on youth recruitment?

Not true. Rule 208: "For Competition Matches in the Competition Proper, the Home Club shall determine the prices of admission within seven days of the relevant draw, subject to a minimum admission charge (except to concessions) of an amount specified by The Association and communicated to Clubs from time to time." https://www.thefa.com/-/media/thefacom-new/files/competitions/2023-24/efac/rules-of-the-fa-challenge-cup-202324docx.ashx

What we will want is irrelevant. We have no say on the matter.

This hasn't been the case for a while. This piece from the FSA in 2017 explains that it is now solely a matter for the home team: https://thefsa.org.uk/news/the-price-of-change-new-fa-cup-rule-stings-home-and-away-fans/ "Immediately after the draw is known, the Club playing at home shall decide on the prices of admission, subject to a minimum price of £10.00 for all spectators other than concessions. "

Marginally. Up 4%.

Was 100% at the Stoke game at the end of September.

It will be on Robins TV - match passes are already on sale: https://bristolcitypayments.streamamg.com/account/register/step1 - and I think this should mean it'll also be available on the Sky red button.

I think this has been resolved. I was seeing the problem but the stream is now showing with the holding slide normally seen before coverage begins.

Think you can via Freeview - you get 4/5 stations for various BBC local stations around the west/south west.

Gonna need a torch to see the penalty spot if it's awarded at that end.

Well, that's me convinced beyond all doubt. FWIW, he tweeted about his salary back in 2020:

It's hard to engage much with such a work of fine prose but where has his wage been circulated?

I thought that had to be a Photoshop job and then I realised I was badly mistaken...

They more than know each other - Maya is Alex's step sister as per the Bournemouth Echo

Should be. Liam's notes for yesterday's game said: "I am looking forward to meeting many of you at the Fans Forum on Monday and giving you more of an insight. It’s already sold out but it will be streamed on various club channels so please do tune in from 7pm."

Ultimately Steve and Maggie Lansdown. The chain gets a little more unclear at that level because of the different requirements for Guernsey companies.

Ashton Gate Limited. Ashton Gate Limited is 100% owned by Bristol City Holdings Limited. Bristol City Holdings Limited is majority owned (approximately 98.7% at the last confirmation statement) by Pula Sport Limited.

Perhaps because it's based on an outright lie. A mistruth. An invention. A fib. A falsity. Bristol Sport does not own Ashton Gate.

10k would be some going since they were boasting a "a record number of season ticket" with a mind-blowing 5360 back in January. https://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/contentassets/6bcca5af07264734a46a83480653efef/bristol-rovers---public-board-minutes.pdf
