Gert Mare Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Tottenham away. Yes! Sags?.....No. Can't stand watching it hoofed from one end of the pitch to the other. God knows how their fans tolerate that shite week in week out?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 No thanks. A tie we are 100% expected to win and will never hear the end of if we don't is a recipe for disaster. No good can come of it! Though the thought of MT celebrating infront of an Atyeo full of Gas is brilliant. Rather have a decent Prem side at home.

One of the rare times - along with Playoff games - where everyone is up for it. One of the best derby atmospheres' in the country IMO. Genuine dislike and we play them so rarely. Some of these 'big club' Prem derbies can be a bit tame in comparison as they play each other every single season and I don't think there's genuine dislike.

Hatred in the 'shout at each other from the stands' sort makes for a great atmosphere. Pissed up bellends making us all look like backwater knob heads on TV is not so good.

Judging by the tiny crowds this competition is attracting I'm not convinced. Reckon we'd have to meet them in the latter stages for it to be a full house. Blackburn-Burnley tonight will be an interesting litmus test - crowds at Ewood have been pathetic but the prospect of facing the old enemy will swell the attendance, however still potentially balanced out by the Carabao stay away factor. It definitely would. The fact our games are so sporadic and a fantastic is always generated atmosphere means we'd definitely sell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ooRya Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 I don't get it............ How can anyone prefer to play Arsenal/Man U/Chelsea under 23's rather than a proper game against Rovers?

Fans always tune in for a rivalry, especially a same city derby. Would rather avoid them at all costs, quite happily never play them again. Thought of their lot packing out the Atyeo makes me feel a bit sick. The JPT game was on Sky because the alternative was Bury v Port Vale or somesuch, this time it will be something like Southampton v Manchester United and Sky (or any other TV company) will go for the game they think will get larger viewing figures worldwide, not just in BS postcodes.

Up The City! Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Slightly baffled by the article on the OS. The sponsors want maximum coverage so are doing the draw in China but there is no live stream available? After reading that I 100% expect us to be drawn against them pikeys in a rigged draw.

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 I would be pretty happy with Bristol derby- but then again a PL away draw- we are due one, even at home, a PL draw vs a big side. The last decent sized game we had was Everton at home...Carling Cup 2004! That could be excellent, but could also attract if say MU, particularly Arsenal a lot of Bristol based MU/Arsenal fans in home ends. Which not only would dilute the atmosphere but could also kick off in the (likely) event of them taking the lead. Away to a big side would also be good, something not to forget. When it comes down to it though, local derbies are great. Especially when you get so few. I am happy with either a big side, home or away, a decent side or a winnable home game v lower league to progress further. And a Bristol derby. What would be shit would be a banana skin (Rochdale away)? or a dull as crap side at home. Brentford for example- not knocking them, but they are not an inspiring draw to say the least.

I do recall that one year- 2008 maybe, we lost to Crewe in an early round of Carling Cup...they got Liverpool away in next round. Typical. Something special about derbies though. The atmosphere tends to be great, the buildup is usually exciteable. Ideally at home if we draw either PL or Bristol derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
