Champion Dung Spreader Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Gerry Gow is a true legend, unlike many players who are described as such and have won nothing of any consequence. He played at a time when we were flying high and capable of beating any team in England on our day. This game could be a real boost to our club, as well as being a testimonial for Gerry. Recent sports dinners (Spirit of '76 etc) have been expensive and therefore inaccessible to may fans. This game is reasonably priced and promises to be educational for younger fans, giving them a glimpse of how great this club was and could be again. If people make the effort to get there, then they will enjoy. I'm expecting a big crowd and a fantastic day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calculus Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Will there be tickets available on the day? Just been talking to someone in the ticket office and yes there will be POTD. Only the Wiilliams stand will be open though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcitysweden Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 That's what I'm going to do... if the ticket website starts working at some stage. It's currently down. Did exactly that couple of days ago. A true legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZepperin Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Did exactly that couple of days ago. A true legend. A good option for exiles, people on holiday, etc. is to buy a ticket online to support the cause even if they can't go. I'm a long way away, fairly skint and pretty tight anyway but feel guilty about not contributing to this event. I'll try and get on the website again in a mo.

Dollymarie Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Am going to POTD because the online ticketing system only seemed to want to dish out row A, rather than us selecting seats. Can't wait for Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomerRed Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 not expecting a big crowd if only one stand is open. Won't be as many as he deserves, but the stand holds 5,500-ish so I hope it's full. Bought mine last Friday and they estimated a sale of 2,000 so far, although it was a bit vague. I imagine they may auction off the shirts as some point. They look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for Saturday! It's not working at all for me (the site, that is). I sent an email and that's come back as an unknown recipient or something. It appears impossible to book a ticket online for Saturday's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Dream Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Me and 3 others are Potd can't see many people bothering to buy in advance knowing they are not going to have to que up ages like a big match day just seems easier to turn up on the day rather then online/phone booking. hope he gets the big crowd he deserves tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent Pepper Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Gerry Gow is a true legend, unlike many players who are described as such and have won nothing of any consequence. He played at a time when we were flying high and capable of beating any team in England on our day. This game could be a real boost to our club, as well as being a testimonial for Gerry.

This game is reasonably priced and promises to be educational for younger fans, giving them a glimpse of how great this club was and could be again. If people make the effort to get there, then they will enjoy. I'm expecting a big crowd and a fantastic day. Spot on. Personally i was to young to have watched Gerry but he was my Dads favourite player without doubt. I have met him a couple of times and despite his fearsome reputation back in the day he seems a down to earth humble man who (like the Ashton Gate 8) deserve a day like this to be a roaring sucsess. I am shocked and disapointed that sales are so low given the supposed esteem Gow is held in. Whether people are regular at AG now or not, anyone who has had a passion for this club since the late 60's should be coming along to this to say thank you to a true legend. This is beside the fact there are some greats from more recent times playing aswel which will make it a fun day out in the sunshine if nothing else. Drag along anyone you can and if you cant make it follow Zeppelins example and contirbute to a very worthy man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Anybody know if Gerry is actually going to play a part in tomorrow's match? According to the latest article on the OS he is NOT in the squad. I thought the whole point was he would at least have a little run about.... I mean that's why many people are going.

The ticket website is still not working (for me anyway) so that option is not possible. Is there any sort of testimonial fund that we can contribute to?

glynriley Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Just over 2700 sold so far. Hopefully with the POTD the crowd will top 3000. That's the very least he deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
