myol'man Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 With ticket sales pushing 24,000 will the club carry on selling tickets right up to kick off? @Mkelly I've just been asked the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much doubt it, not against leeds But it doesn't mention it on any of the ticketing info on the website, I'd phone the club or see if @AdamB will answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoons Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 I doubt it or at worse maybe only allowed to buy a ticket tommorow if already on the bristol sport database. Stops Leeds fans snapping them up then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 I expect it will be that you are allowed to purchase up to midday. Theyve done that before. Nice of the club to not make it clear though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider-Head23 Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 I'd imagine it will be pay on the day, not a great deal of tickets left so may as well push for a near sell out. If they operate the procedure that you must be on the database, then so be it surely most of us are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they worry about leeds fans in the home end, its a bloody long way down from the top of the lansdown to be knocked down those stairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verloc Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 I'm a Leeds supporter who will be sat in the home sections of the ground tomorrow. I will, however, be quiet and show the appropriate respect. I have no desire to inspect your concrete steps at close quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sat in your old stand on the side opposite the tunnel for the FA Cup replay in 1973 and no trouble then. Just a lot of mouth etc outside after the game which was understandable. I always found it easy to keep quiet in a home end when we scored but not so easy to look happy and excited when we conceded! I've just realised that was 44 years ago. I was only 30 and Dad who was with me has been "brown bread" for 30 years. Don't time fly when your'e having fun watching City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five of us got to Elland Road at 1.20 and got five seats together in that old stand. Found out later that turnstiles to the terraces had been closed at 1.15. Great atmosphere and a cracking cup tie. Isn't it always cracking when we win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkie Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Yes, no floodlights allowed to conserve power so was played on a weekday afternoon. I remember a group of us huddled around a transistor radio at work listening to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite difficult when Luis Garcia scored, and also pretending to be angry when Terry had a goal disallowed. But we were sensible enough.

elhombrecito Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 I'll always remember sitting in the home stand at Plymouth one year. The City fans were kept in at the end of the game, so we wandered over to see if we could spot anybody we knew... Ended up getting abused by the whole away end and then getting chucked out by the stewards for winding up the away fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
