Isn’t that the same stand as the Exeter fans use? So are they paying £10 too? And if not how does that comply with EFL rules about charging away fans no more than home fans? 

Edit: they’ve also given Exeter an additional 500 tickets, in a desperate attempt to hit the 75%. And for Exeter, those extra are still £26. 

Good question - there was previously leeway for "local promotions" in the EFL rules which allowed home fans to be charged less for (I think) 3 games per season but it now says that "There are no Local Promotions permitted under the Regulation as per previous seasons".

See 35.3.11 - https://www.efl.com/governance/regulations/

Build it and they will come......apparently

"Still loads of tickets left for tomorrow night, reckon it’ll be one of the lowest home attendances of the season."

They've had to slash prices for tomorrow too in order to meet the 75% requirement for a test event...

No I’m asking what he has done to warrant a new contract 

So what would warrant a coaching contract in your eyes?

When someone suggested a coaching contract, you asked for his coaching credentials. Then dismissed his badges for a lack of "track record". Then say you're not against people starting out in their coaching career getting an opportunity.

It sounds like a concoction of requirements that would stop anyone starting a coaching career and stop anyone building a track record (which you seem to see as an essential requirement).

So does Paul Ince what I meant was track record.

So essentially you're just against giving people with no or limited experience to date an opportunity?

What are his coaching credentials??

He has his UEFA A & B coaching certificates.

Seriously am fed up with the rugby, why can’t they go back to the Mem and focus on Bristol City! The rugby lines make us look tinpot! 

No guarantee that the game wouldn't be on Friday if the rugby wasn't at AG. They spread the FA Cup games up across quite a number of timeslots even if they aren't being televised in the UK.

A ‘tongue in cheek’ remark Jeez.

The most unprofessional thing I ever saw GJ do was when he tried to trip up Chopra after he’d scored at AG and ran past the dug outs in celebration - the attempted trip was caught on cameras. Lucky for Chopra GJ had short legs,

Lucky for GJ and the club as well. Had he succeeded the shit would have really hit the fan and GJ would have been sacked before long before he started brawling with his own players down at Argyle in the locker room.

Another rewriting of history by @Robbored.

Cheeky little scamps had the cheek to actually apply the booking fee this time. I am outraged I tell you.

The great Met Office conspiracy against the famous and prowed quarters.

Quite a few of their people are looking for streams.

If the game isn't being shown live anywhere, isn't that a something of a futile exercise?

Pretty much - can't see anything that suggests it's being broadcast anywhere in the world.

Wonder if they ever consider dolman side cameras.... 

You then introduce the issue of the sun directly into the cameras unless they're fitted with a prosthetic arm to do the Dolman salute.

Tenner a ticket again? Probably has to be agreed with the opposition first.

This rule is no longer in place in the FA Cup.

Presumably, given his size now, he wasn't the ballboy that Lee Lohnson swung around when Korey Smith scored .

Correct.

Think that ballboy ended up at Nailsea and Tickenham this summer.

Who was it then?  There was definitely another City loanee in that side and a defender too. 

They had Cam Pring earlier in the season and Tyreeq Bakinson was on the bench against Leicester.

I do agree but the club states that it should be printed, nowhere did they mention it can be scanned on a phone 

It literally says it on the ticket...

...and is usually mentioned in the individual match Gate Guides...

Yep, I've previously scanned from my phone without issue.

Cracking game, just spoiled by Darren England. Never a pen.

Not watching it so can't comment on the decision but guess where he's heading on Tuesday evening...

Not at all Graham - I post my point of view, this a forum after all. 

To clarify - I only believe that any deal is completed when it’s announced on the OS. It’s the only 100% believable source.

I really don’t understand why some have a problem with that.     

Not sure there's much of a badge of honour in being unable to critically analyse information and come to an informed conclusion as to its likely veracity.

But you do you.

Don’t worry about posts like this mate. Everyone moans about the dominance of the Premier League and then we treat smaller clubs trying to simply survive like this. I’ll be at Preston, but I’ll be sure to come and support the Bluebells soon if season ticket holders get a discount. 

I'm not worried about it. But it was addressed to Rovers season ticket holders originally. 

Think you've got the wrong forum... 

Not sure why they've used this ancient image on the BS3Live.com site now it's finally launched...

Think you will find there is something on your Bristol sport account(Communication preferences) about what information you receive especially all across Bristol sport organisation football basketball rugby etc etc You can tick these off by clicking on update preferences Not sure if thats anything to do with it.

To receive information off west ham is a strange one.

It's not from West Ham, but from QEOP. 

I think it's a bit early to be pointing fingers at Bristol Sport unless there starts to be a wider group receiving these unexpectedly. I've received nothing myself.

2nd priority window didn't we have that for the Manchester utd game? I'm not sure why they haven't done so again.

There were nearly two months between the previous round and that game. It's a bit easier to have more windows when you're working on a timescale of that duration.
