Tom Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Right, I'll say this in advance. This is a moan. Tomorrow will be my third away game of the season, I ordered 2 student tickets on the phone from the club (the confirmation email has the correct info) and had them posted to my home address (I don't live in Bristol). I just opened the envelope as I'm sorting out all my stuff ready for tomorrow morning. They've given me one adult ticket, and written "student" on the bottom of it. Great. So when me and my mate turn up tomorrow we've got to blag our way in to a game we've already paid for. A similar balls up happened when I bought two tickets for Tamworth and they forgot to send them up to Tamworth to collect, I had to practically beg their club secretary to let me in. I see the lack of performance of late isn't restricted to the pitch, fuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave L Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 We can have an inquest next week about why this has happened Tom. Most important thing is that you get in ok tomorrow. I'm at the game too, so I'll PM you with my mobile number. Give me a call if you have any difficulties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at the game too, so I'll PM you with my mobile number. Give me a call if you have any difficulties Dave, what can I say, you always come through for people. Even if I don't need you tomorrow, it's nice to know that I can travel up knowing there shouldn't be a problem. Maybe I was too quick to moan, but it's been a tough week. I must say the customer service at the ticket office and the friendliness of the staff is great, but there are obviously issues with the fulfillment after the phone goes down. They are clearly isolated issues as I'm sure others on here would be moaning, if they were more common. Top bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual Tim is negative about Dave L. He is working at 10pm, I'm sure he's got better things to do. I also bet he isn't being paid. What is he using his free time to do? Liaising with supporters? Do you want blood from him instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been categorically denied by SL that that will happen. The Fans' Parliament meets with the club to mutually discuss progress going forward. It has made a difference. The best person to explain what would be someone actually involved. It certainly gets more done than you do moaning on an internet forum. Tell me Timothy, what have you done?

You have it all wrong. I was sceptical about it, so went along to see what it was all about. You can't be bothered to see what it's all about and just sound ignorant. The only thing I would agree on is that "fans PARLIMENT" is a misleading and inappropriate name for such a forum, but really makes no difference to anyone who bothers to turn up and find out what it's all about.

timothy bird Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 What have I done robin ? let's see, I have supported the club for 40+ years, in that time I have watched the club in all 4 divisions from all sides of the ground, I have also watched us on 65 away grounds, I am a season ticket holder in the east end, during that time I must have met literally 100,s of city supporters, any body who actually knowa me will I hope tell you that contrary to bar bs 3 a unfounded opinion I am a person who loyalty and positively supports the club, I have laughed cryed and spilt blood for city, I will never turn my back on them, I have never booed them and I have never left a ground early because we are loosing, here's some things I hasn't done, I hasn't made personal criticisms of fellow city fans became I disagree with them, and I have never mocked a fellow city fan for preferring a different part of the ground to me, despite my total love for the club, I will criticise when I think something is wrong with the club, I believe I have this right I have suffered no end of abuse on here for ddaring to have a different opinion, I realise we can't agree all the time but I assure you I am a commited city fan who happens to be very cynical about the board, and views the fans parliament as a total waste of time !

Shock horror, plenty of rhetoric (look it up) about supporting the club through thick and thin but you're happy to moan about things not getting done while criticising people who are actually engaging them in debate - when you've done sweet FA towards it.

You're one to talk about giving answers, let's be honest. You criticise people for getting involved with the club to try and change things. I asked you what you had done and you've come up with nothing. You've clearly got a problem with the things at Ashton Gate and while listing your backstory on the terraces is commendable you have listed absolutely nothing about actually getting things changed, but you're happy to have a moan on here. Finally your FP comment is laughable, sorry you must have been on the cusp of changing your mind before I savagely charged you down with my smugness.

I am not the only person who holds this opinion both ee reps resigned from the fans parliament because they came to the opinion that it was a sham !
