If we had won it would be a different story. What I meant really is that DVD is gradually on the way out. A bit like CD a few years ago. The club like to do everything digitally and in fairness you can watch online on very high quality these days. I appreciate some prefer a physical copy - look at the resurgence of Vinyl records! I still buy CDs & DVDs (although not regularly) purely because I want a hard copy to keep and look at (sleeve notes etc), plus my iMac died last year and I was lucky to be able to save the hard drive with all my photos/itunes on it.

Who knows when, if ever, we will again reach a serious Semi-Final. I definitely wouldn't! 53 minutes ago, myol'man said: Many people can't watch online in 'high quality' ! If you have a 5h!t PC or crap laptop, or your broadband is rubbish you are screwed. If tech is moving on, that doesn't really matter in that industry. 15 years ago many people couldn't watch Dvd's because they didn't have a player.. tech moves on forcing people to upgrade. That's a more general example however; I appreciate why there might be more of a demand with our demographic of supporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnclosureSurge Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I'm only up for a Cup dvd if it's a double disc. The other being an equally arty, touching, historic artefact to keep, but about the Ashton Gate 8. The 8 defeats in a row, that is. Compare and contrast, compare and contrast. (I, for one, called for the manager's head last year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Do people still buy DVDs? Been buying Blu Rays for years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with CDs. Streaming and downloading is like buying a pint of beer to find it only a quarter full. Massively compressed and shit quality. CD is about 1400kbps. Best download about 380kbps. Blu Ray is much better if you have a screen to exploit it. As is 4K if you have a very capable screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 My final thought of the day: Come on City, release a DVD/ Blu-ray, Video Tape, whatever the format, I want to be able to watch this cup run back in a couple of years, without having to dig up archive footage on the web. I'm going to email the club to ask if they are considering such a release. Shame if they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I often watch the non HD channels and the quality difference doesn’t bother me much. Also have various old machines, some of which wouldn’t play Blu Ray, so DVD at lower cost is still the best option for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
