Kenn Loyal Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Anything above 10K and i will be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ispep2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 I think 8k tops I think you are way off the mark there... If brfcforum is correct then it seems as though we have sold nearly a thousand and that was about a week ago.. If that's right then I guess we will sell close to the 3000.. I know a fair few going who ain't got tickets yet.. Surely city alone will sell 8000 for Louis's testimonial v the gas. At least 10k just city I'd say..

In the Net Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 I would expect around 2,000 from Rovers and at least 8,000 from City (remembering that it is bang in the middle of the holiday season). Should be a cracking atmosphere, even if it is a "meaningless friendly" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
II Wurzel II Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 I reckon the attendance will be around 14k, it's hard to get in the mood at the moment but give it a week before kick off and everyone will be buzzing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there will be more though. Wouldn't surprise me atall to be honest.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastonboy Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 As a club, we don't really turn up for friendlies. I think only Ajax has broken the 10k barrier in the past 5 years or so, and since then we have had Prem League home friendlies every season, let alone against 4th division opposition. Hopefully the Bristol public will be up for this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glynriley Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Bit bored in work so had a quick count up on the ticket page. It looks like we've sold about 2300 so far , not including premier seats which are unavailable. Still 5 week until the game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red84 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 I think there's a lot of interest in the derby but the fact it's in holiday season, no city in east end and £15 for a friendly will put people off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 I expect a really big crowd 15K plus. Out of interest, does anyone know if 2300 advance sales a month before kick off equates to a 15,000 gate? I guess the only comparison would be a cup game as season ticket holders have been taken out of the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Friendly game or not, the fact that this is a testimonial for the longest serving living player in our history AND it against "them", surely anyone that supports us enough to buy a season ticket would not decide not to bother with this game...?! I expect about a £12k crowd, but would like to think it would be more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect about a £12k crowd, but would like to think it would be more. Ive got a season ticket but i wont be going to this friendly against those f'wits. It would take top side as opposition to get me to a friendly and its safe to say they are pretty much as far from being a top side as it gets. I support lois vocally at every home game and by contributing to his wages for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ispep2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 I feel the negativity is un called for from both rovers and city fans.... Putting people off going. If you ain't going so what.. Don't go.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kaiser Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Same here for me with a couple of comments. Louis has had my support for plenty of years and will continue to do so. Going along to see a friendly against a very ordinary League 2 outfit is not on my list and never was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
II Wurzel II Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Depending on how old you are probably makes the key difference between opinions, us who are 30+ remember the classic derby's and are hoping that this is somewhat close to those, they were lively occasions to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ain't going so what.. Don't go.. Sorry if you have picked up on , i quote "Negativity"...i dont think thats the case, as far as pre season goes we had all the vibe about going to scotland, and i think a lot of the true reds commited to these fixtures, flights, hotels and beer tokens, if you have a hole in yer arse you will know that it dont come cheap...then we have the Gerry Gow connundrum, which clashes with the above, and then the R...R....R...other Match, i dont think it's negativity, just honest "**** ime skint" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Knowle Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I am going but yet to reveal to the mrs the family holiday will involve leaving early and driving back to BS3 without stopping for six hours. Gas have been putting it about that their away support is brilliant and better than citys so they should sell out easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to it, and won't be put off but others are... A lot of us think it's a stupid fixture to have arranged. If it's going to be played in the true spirit of a local derby, with tackles flying in, then it's a game neither team needs. Particularly not City considering past injuries. If it isn't, why choose Rovers as the opponents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusader Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 With one week to go I think if the numbers look low the club should make the fixture all ticket and allow all adults to bring children U16 in FREE, this to obviously encourage the next generation of supporters In reference to a City v Rovers game, a great opportunity to have a good pace game with only a week or two before the season starts.
