View from the Dolman

Think this is it in the red box. The triangle surrounds appear slightly different (presumably not PL branded) but here's a pic from a previous trip to the London Stadium.

Yes, it was in use though I don't think anyone was thinking about VAR when that one went in.

Just need to know what coach you're on. Say your name to the coach steward and they'll check you off on their list.

I know random local facts is normally the domain of NTTDS but the Big Breakfast house is just a short walk from the stadium alongside Old Ford Lock.

Nope, that was Carl Robinson (ex Wolves and Sunderland) with Rooney at Brum. They had previously worked together at DC United.

The unanswered question is when did West Ham provide the physical tickets to BCFC? If they hadn't been received, they couldn't be sent out. I'm not sure why the club would sit on them and force it into the Christmas/NY period, have to operated extended collection times and send out stacks of recorded mail if it was avoidable?

Manchester City did in the FA Cup. If you're referring to the Carabao Cup games, that is a different competition with different rules only requiring a 10% away allocation.

If you bought the tickets together, I'd expect them to be together. If you bought them at different times, I'd expect them to be apart from each other.

Should be fine on that front as long as there's no complications and the International Transfer Certificate is promptly sorted: "the Registration Deadline means 12 noon on the Friday immediately preceding the default date for a specific round of the Competition" "the Club must obtain confirmation from The Association that the application to register the Player has been approved (and any such confirmation must be received by the Club at least 75 minutes before the scheduled kick-off of the Competition Match)" "where the Player’s registration with the Club requires an ITC, the Club must obtain confirmation from The Association that the ITC has been received (and any such confirmation must be received at least 75 minutes before the scheduled kick-off of the Competition Match)"

"A third huge stadium gig at Ashton Gate is to take place this coming summer, stadium bosses have revealed. The announcement of which music act will be taking to the stage in BS3 is expected to made on Friday, with speculation mounting about who it will be."

You mean we'd respect the competition rules? Madness I tell thee.

Yep, the concourse is exactly as you describe. Not sure what ticket checks are like for football but they've been pretty thorough for the many other events I've attended there.

No we didn't according to the statement at the time. West Ham asked if they could bring it, their request was rejected. https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/bristol-sport-statement-regarding-bubble-machine/

Sounds like that was the plan from WHU but does look like our own fanbase's aversion to digital season tickets discouraged that one.

No actual ticket for the coach is issued. Your name is just checked off on the list for each coach.

If that's a crime, I'd love to get your take on playing a song for the opposition as they did at Watford...

Guess that decision to revert to paper tickets will have been driven by our peculiar stats on digital season ticket uptake compared to other clubs?

A successful end to the story...

Doesn't account for when they were delivered to the club from West Ham though. Why would anyone at the club deliberately sit on things and push them into the difficult Christmas/New Year period any more than is unavoidable?

Similar discussion here: including comments that it is purely a "cosmetic" issue and won't prevent you entering today's game regardless of what it is displaying./

I imagine it's not closing but they only want to deal with tickets for today in the hour ahead of kick off rather than being overwhelmed with WH ticket collections in that peak period.
