mcbcfc Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Especially as for some of us prices went up from the early bird prices of last year. I would be surprised if we didn't hit 8k before the start of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually have 8-9k around this time don't we? I imagine this is just another quote intended to remind people they only have another day for the early bird offer. It is quite a good figure when you consider thread after thread on here of all the people who were going to give next season a miss, pay on the day, etc etc, only a few weeks ago. I know of at least 5 people who were not renewing in January, "because of the costs", who have miraculously found the money in the last couple of weeks. I am sure there will be even more by the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 The fact that there are no "early bird "prices means a lot of people who aren't that interested in the add-ons (me for one) won't bother until they have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not rivals though, no of course not I have to admit, I think our visiting blue nose is correct. We should be comparing our ticket sales with that of our Championship rivals, and not lower league sides. I think we fall short of quite a few sides in the championship, so it's these sides we must look to overtake. Thanks for pointing this out ChrisGH, and thanks for visiting the forum of Bristols premier side, and taking such an interest in our great club. I'm sure you're still feeling the effects of the relegation party you held for BCFC........ It's just a good job your near neighbours Bath City stood in for us at such short notice...

MichaelRobartes Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 It's the first day of May and the season's only done by three days, that's not so bad at all. Well done the fans for responding, especially given the lack of early bird prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be grateful for the discount whilst you had it. But if you don't want to pay full price that's your choice, nothing to do with loyalty. Everyone was under 21 once so is the club being disloyal to us all. We all want new players, new stadium etc. but it amazes me how many people don't want to contribute whilst expecting someone else too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskay Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 It will increase depending on who we sign! We sold loads after Coppell and James joined! God, those were heady days. Already bowled over by Coppell's sigining I was wandering around @Bristol when someone sent me a text to say we had signed David James. Couldn't believe it, check on the phone and it was true... this was going to be THE season. Promptly called the ticket office and bought some tickets for the friendly against Blackpool the following day, watched the game and was impressed with a certain Nicky Hunt ****il he was taken off injured). The rest is history! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
