The procedure for ticket sales has been the same for a long time - head to the Bristol Sport website and off you go. I had all the details for all people associated to my online account before I left. I knew full well tickets would be released while I was away so made sure I planned ahead. The time difference is your problem. Take some responsibility and stop trying to blame the club. Sorry to break this to you but that does sound smug. I mean, how on earth did you manage to get a sun lounger ahead of the Germans in Majorca? And, no, I'm not having "planning ahead"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do grow older but the early morning risers then change to late nights and being unable to crawl out of the pit before 11.00 am, they are often late for school and every other activity you would like them to be involved in. Enjoy your holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't you get them before you went as you knew when the tickets were going on sale. Or get one of your mates to bensure in charge of buying them. It is not the club's fault if you are disorganised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counting numbers left is probably relatively limited due to more tickets being released however, it would be interesting to see how quick tickets are being sold.

IF that's correct then by my reckoning, we must be heading towards 23k..? South stand = 6k Dolman = 6.5k West Lower (10%reduced capacity) = 5.4k Atyeo Home = 1k Atyeo Away = 2.5k So that's 21.4k plus whatever is sold in the West upper. 1.5k should see us heading towards our first non cup 23k crowd since when?

Availability has gone down to double figures when they've suddenly released more and it's jumped to 500 ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old 1st division days..? We had 23,191 v Rovers Jan 2 1989 (when Rovers actually brought a "few" to AG - because they were near top of div 3 and above us - which was not always the case back then { usually, in the 80s, The Few brought fewer than a "few" hence the nickname, courtesy of a popular City fanzine of the day}. Prob about 4k of them, really packed in that section of Park End, but only the one far section, not the middle one! ) for a league game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike clubs like Preston, Barnsley, Blackburn, Wigan, Reading and Fulham we don't need to make room for four, five even six thousand visiting fans to get a big crowd. Those that are hankering after giving Newcastle and Villa all of the Atyeo, let's wait and see if we cannot fill 24 000 seats ourselves for the big games (like Norwich, Wolves, Brighton and clubs of this stature do) when the ground is fully open. That's how to create "home advantage" and make AG a "fortress" like LJ has said he wants it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
