everreddy Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Travelled miles away to watch footie, today. As the City match was (pathetically) cancelled, but I had pre-booked rail tickets, I went to the Emirates to see the Gooners against Badiff. Match not too special, until the end, but: The stadium was fantastic Transport there so easy Good food and drink at reasonable prices Fans of all ages, races, genders enjoying a match in an environment with little swearing or abuse Club shop selling a wide range of quality merchandise Clear announcements and visible video footage of teams, highlights, club legends Stewards who were helpful and friendly I could go on and on.... We're just miles away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin1988 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 They're the best team in England bankrolled by one of the richest men on earth, with one of the greatest managers in Premier League history & history we could only dream of. With that, off-field stuff falls into place a lot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 They're the best team in England bankrolled by one of the richest men on earth, with one of the greatest managers in Premier League history & history we could only dream of. With that, off-field stuff falls into place a lot easier. Actually, their early history is very similar to ours. I believe we entered the League the year after them, and were soon challenging for honours. After that, we went a bit wahooni-shaped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendip City Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 The only positive I can give you is that their season ticket prices are "miles away" from ours. But you get what you pay for I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just miles away! This club has been left behind by all the Premiership clubs both on and off the pitch. In the greater scheme of football, we'll always be an 'also ran club' until we reach the Premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mosquito Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 What was the ticket price? Be interested to hear your views on the atmosphere? I just looked on the Arsenal website, they even wish their supporters a 'Happy New Year' - no such message on the BCFC official website. I'm amazed that everreddy managed to get tickets for that Arsenal game at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 All very admirable, but you would expect the richest club in the country to be able to have a good matchday experience, considering what they charge their fans in light of how little they've achieved in recent history.

exAtyeoMax Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 whatever anyone says, I support Bristol City. I buy a pasty from Parsons, bring my own Bovril and have a laugh with my fellow fans who sit next to me. The 'match day experience' is marketing talk, create your own!

I buy a pasty from Parsons, bring my own Bovril and have a laugh with my fellow fans who sit next to me. The 'match day experience' is marketing talk, create your own! But wouldn't it be better if you could buy a decent pasty and a coffee devoid of cat's pee at the ground, with the proceeds going to the club? Wouldn't it be better if the stewards were supporters of the club who understood football fans, rather than random Rentathug? Wouldn't it be nice to be made welcome, rather than barely tolerated? The phrase 'match day experience' may be marketing talk but, just this once, it refers to something real. The Sags can do it - why don't we? Note that I don't say "why can't we" - we can, but we can't be arsed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
