Drew Peacock Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Were there any? I got in stupidly early with no queue whatsoever and was bored completely witless. I shan't be doing that again. Would prefer to be standing outside complaining. Can't we have strippers or public floggings or a stoning to amuse us if we follow the guidelines and get in early?

Took a book to read so wasn't bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark43 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 No problems getting in. Then again the next game could be a nightmare as everyone will figure as there were no problems this week then no need to turn up early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderbeans Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Simples, order your ticket online pre match and collect it on arrival. No queues for tickets then. As for anyone else, I would suggest that rubbish at the oxford game was a one off. It's usually pretty quick to get through the gates to your seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotham Brow Red Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Got in about 2:45 entertained myself senseless by counting the lorries on Winterstoke. A brand new game as no Wedlock:) Clocked up 12 before kick off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS13 Robin Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I arrived at 2.40 no queues in dolman but scanners not working either probably helped !cant remember the last time I got to my seat that early although it gave me a chance to have a chat with the guys around me who also arrived early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pikeysrobins Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Talking of the Dolman didnt the club announce earlier this week that they didnt want fans hanging around near the exits at the end of the game. Today a couple of hundred fans were standing behind the advertising board for the last 5 or 10 mins. Isnt this asking for troubles? Also does anyone else find it annoying when streams of fans make their way down towards the exit before the end of a game? Whats the hurry to leave? Pay all that money to get in, the teams winning but only just and you cant wait until the final whistle to get up and go??!! The design of the stand doesnt help i know and i hope the new design enables early leavers to exit from the back but as things stand could fans at east wait until the final whistle. Fair enough if we're being thrashed but not at other times. Support your team to the end. It must be very disconcerting for players to see fans streaming out early when the game is inactive or held up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think of that mate. Did seriously think though the view of Dundry could be a landscape that Constable could do justice, but in 2014 may need to airbrush out KFC Halfords though.

They won't leave via the back, they enjoy standing at the front of the second tier so no one can see the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pikeysrobins Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I never understand why people leave early. Do these people walk out five minutes before the end of the film when they go to the cinema?Exactly my feelings. Is it a Dolman supporter thing? If the Atyeo or Williams stands were designed similarly would we see scores of fans streaming out the front 5 or 10 mins before the game. If everyone in the Dolman left at full time there would probably be a big queue to get out but so what? I cant believe that thst many fans have such urgent Saturday evening dinner appointments. Does anyone though if this problem is going to be rectified as part of the redevelopment?! Hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Peacock Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Could that mean the 11k was a bit inaccurate ? The attendance is always inaccurate as it is tickets sold, not people attending. I think. Therefore it includes all season ticket holders, even when they are on the beach in Marbella.

At the moment, I'm sort of glad that the usual suspects leave the Dolman with still 5 minutes remaining as without the scoreboard I never know how long is left and this gives me an indication!

Bristol Rob Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Only gripe with the DEH was the fact they only had Fosters on tap for the lager drinkers. Not everyone is driving! Some people would like a refreshing beer with a bit of taste. In the end they 'found' a bottle of Peroni and charged a premuim for it. No complaint over the cost of the Peroni, just grateful to have a bit of choice! Hopefully they'll have Heineken on tap before too long. (It's on the bar menu).

Drew Peacock Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Some people would like a refreshing beer with a bit of taste. That would be the Butcombe.

WolfOfWestStreet Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 That would be the Butcombe. Lager & taste don't often go in the same sentence, unless chemical is in the sentence too.................. If have loved the opportunity to have a pint of lager of any variety. However there doesn't appear to be any facilities in the Williams that accommodates this. The natch bar needs to come back pronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I thought they were now serving Kronenberg in there? Not on Saturday they weren't. Heineken was advertised but unavailable. Whilst pleased they found a bottle of Peroni, at just shy of 4 quid a bottle, that isn't far off eight quid a pint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it does, just not many lagers in this country unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Peacock Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Think that's what they charged me for the Peroni. I was surprised there were two cider, two bitters and only one lager. Sure it'll improve over time. Yes, adding a perry and a wheat beer would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
