Phileas Fogg Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 The club physically can't prevent every single Manchester fan getting in the home end. Some City fans will lend/sell tickets to friends who are Manchester fans of course. I think if sensible measures are put in place this'll be >0.5%. I can't remember if any got in to the home end at Yeovil a few years ago, but if even they managed to stop it then we can. I really hope City fans don't sell or lend to Manchester supporting mates, it's important the home ends are as filled with genuine City fans as possible.

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 I think 100 in the ground would be a rough estimate, being realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have a Bristol sport account but kept all of my tickets they do have the barcodes on so don't see why not? Would be a great shame if couldn't get a ticket for this one when I went to other 3 I no I'm not gauranteed one without a season ticket Yes that should be fine. If the club get your details, and it goes to general sale (but with priority to purchase history) you'd be fine I think if you can get through.

Northern Red Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 If we'd beaten Charlton in the replay a couple of rounds after winning at Anfield, we'd have been away at Old Trafford in the QF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Not many. The crowd won’t/can’t be much bigger than we had against Brum & Leeds. We have enough to fill the Home areas ourselves. I’d imagine the hospitality areas might have a lot of ***** in them though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Can't we use the screen on the South stand / Lansdown corner and keep the village open or would that be too many people in the same area pre / post match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for reply and yeah hopfully eased my mind a little bit can really see us winning if we play joe we can and obviously Jose using alot of young ones who we can make nervous with a rocking Ashton gate and the 3 players we have who we're on the books at manure will be wanting to prove a point if they start, buzzing for it already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Did a quick twitter search. Apparently there were Man U fans in home ends at Swansea, wearing Man U shirts tbh.

Up The City! Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 19 minutes ago, Jack Dawe said: Enjoy it, Kid. My first game was City v Man Utd, 1978. You've waited long enough. Watched enough lower league tosh. We've all seen enough lower league mediocrity now. We have been there, and bought the purple and lime away shirt. Time to try being a top class club and really challenge ourselves, on the pitch, and off it (support, ticketing, the lot). I'm hoping this gives SL/LJ/all of them the little taste of "what could be" and spurs them/us on to even greater things, and days/nights. With the greatest respect, Man United of 1978 isn't anything like the Manchester United of 2017. Not talking about footballing wise talking more about club statue. In 1978 they hadn't won x amount of premier league titles and Champions leagues etc etc. This is the biggest club we have ever played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory I guess, but there are a lot (far too many) of local Manchester fans who will try and get tickets in our section no doubt. Many are members of clubs (used to wind me up seeing all the glory hunters at TM waiting for coaches when we were going away) but many are Sky ST holders, they may well have mates not using tickets or memberships. 1 hour ago, KingLear said: Can we make it a 'thing' to refer to them as 'Manchester' in the entire build up to this game? Just to wind them up a bit. The amount of times i've seen us referred to as 'Bristol' in the last 12 hours has started to grate on me haha. During the RB commentary , Kieth Miller was pulled up for calling us Bristol, it was also mentioned that one player on joining was given a lecture about just that. Can't say who as I was trying to listen at work and it was in and out reception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
