Think you could well be right there, just a feeling but wouldn't be at all surprised if we land another biggie this season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted October 31, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 i will post this nearer the time as a reminder but have found out that the LAST train leaving Parson Street going SOUTH that evening will be the 22:01 service There is engineering works after this and a replacement bus will replace what would have been the later train So short of leaving the game early there is not a chance in hell of getting that service!! Cheers GWR !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s cringeworthy when he can’t pronounce names that anyone with even a fleeting interest in football knows how to pronounce - and just confirms that he’s in the job despite not giving a shit about football! It would actually be nice to hear him at all, the PA is so completely useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team In Keynsham Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 1 hour ago, Bar BS3 said: That is the myth that all plastic Mancs like to use. It is fairly easy to get European tickets at OT and if you are willing to pay inflated prices (why not, for a day out at the team you supposedly “support”) you can get hold of tickets for most games. You did very well not to just punch him in the nose for being a****! From friends' experiences you don't need to pay much over the odds, if at all. Aside from the obvious games (Liverpool, Citeh etc) there are generally people to be found on the concourse with spare season tickets looking to get cash to walk a punter through the turnstiles.

Even him saying all 8 don't have to be sat together, he'd be happy with two groups of four didn't really help him. He seems genuinely annoyed that despite the fact he has never been to football before and has no affiliation with City that he might miss out on tickets. what a twonk!

And please when announcing the attendance, just announce it by thanking everybody for their attendance. They don't want to feel like they are witnessing a Wonder of the World. He's an utter embarrassment, to himself, to the club, to the point where you might just wonder if he's retarded. A clueless idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Phileas, he is a professional broadcaster, he doesn't really need a high level of football knowledge, he has apparently been seen at away games though to try and get a feel of it all and I admire him for that. I think he has a good voice and a good microphone technique and works the crowd well in the little one on ones he does before the game. I have seen compere everything from local quizzes in pubs to the Portishead Soap Box Derby and he gives an air of professionalism to everything he does. I'd much prefer that to a local fan who just gets set loose with a microphone and that is not a dig at Dave F who was very good.... eventually. EDIT: I should say, just in case you think I am Downsy, on the few occasions I have had to suffer his radio show in my wife's car, I have found it an abomination that makes my ears bleed.

I think he's an odd choice of match-day announcer really, given how picky football fans are about that sort of thing it was never going to be a hugely popular choice given his style. I think that's one area the club haven't quite got right - understanding the fans. The lack of a visible and accessible SLO with clearly defined responsibilities doesn't help with that at all. It's great he's making the effort to understand the club, attend away games and take on feedback - the first few games of last season he was genuinely very poor and accepted that.

Is it wrong to say I'd much prefer us to beat Cardiff than utd? That's the only game I care about right now! Agreed! I think we have a much better chance of beating Cardiff and possibly going into 3rd place if we also beat Fulham tonight, than we do of beating Man U.

I don’t condone the personal insults towards him - not his fault they appointed someone wrong for the job - but what I’d give for Tim Shires back!

ChippenhamRed Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Little shout out to JustPark users - I've already booked my parking for the United game and have heard of others doing the same. So in anticipation of high demand I would get in there early. I'm not even certain I'll get a ticket yet but for the sake of a fiver I'll take the chance. And if you're not a JustPark user, well this is a very good way of removing the stress from finding a parking spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't be more than a 1 for 1 sale can it we don't have the capacity to do it any other way. Unless they give those who have attended cup games as well priority and an extra ticket, in which case I will miss out as I have been working away for every one of them. Been done to death already but without doubt it'll be 1 ticket per person - STH first, then members, then general sale (if any left). The big issue is whether the prioritise existing members first over new ones. I've heard plenty of anecdotal evidence from friends and colleagues this week of new members signing up - both City and United fans. See also my (as yet unanswered) question in the Q&A section.
