MarcusX Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 atyeo up in the corner half empty?? Obviously s great day and take nothing away from that but annoying to be stuck behind the away dugout where all I could see most the game was their managers arse or the 4th officials arse.

From where I was in the Williams it seemed the Atyeo (home end at least) was packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBibs Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Fair few empty in the upper Williams as well. Real shame for those that couldn't get tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fat Controller Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Some (half a dozen) latecomers up by me (Atyeo H Block) otherwise seemed pretty full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City1970 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Apart from the H&S empty seats, there have been hundreds of empty seats at sold out games all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLionLad Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Empty seats all around us front of Williams block F pitchside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonGreat Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Fair few empty in the upper Williams as well. Real shame for those that couldn't get tickets. I agree with this. The concept of season tickets is a double-edged sword. Great for the club in the sense that they get a good wedge of money at the start of the season, but not good for atmosphere when a bunch of people don't turn up. Also not good for those fans who couldn't get tickets (which also has a knock-on effect for the club because in the future those fans might not bother trying again). I bet those fans who didn't bother turning up today are kicking themselves that they missed one of the best days in Bristol City history. And frankly, it serves them right.

Aizoon Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Any season ticket holder who didn't turn up today deserves to hold his manhood cheap. Except for the kind gentleman who lent me his Dolman ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 In the Williams I would expect there were empty seats in some areas as a lot made it into block E from other areas despite the ticket checks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

54-46 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 9 empty seats next to me in the back row of A block WIlliams... Seat next to me in Dolman B has been empty all season. I've even wondered if I bought two STs by mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Guy I sat next to today flew in from Saudi (no not a sheikh !) fair play to him Gets over 4 or 5 times a year and treated himself to a season ticket next year to ensure he can see the games when he gets over Fair play, as he said a bit expensive , but worth it for him Lifelong City fan since 60s but now based in Saudi But there will be one empty seat for most of next season - would be good for the club and supporters , St holders and those looking for tickets , alike if they could sort a system for selling on season ticket holders tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted May 3, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Other clubs have a system whereby absent seasonticket holders can sell their seat, it shouldn't be rocket science in this day and age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must've also been sat near me... Although I loved sitting behind Sawyers and watching Dean Smith; it was pretty annoying seeing those empty seats! Ah well, I got my photo taken with Korey Smith... I'm 37 and should not be star struck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten minutes of rough Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Frustrating, as it's a Bank Holiday I guess some just had take the missus and kids to Weymouth, not very clever considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
