That said the games have fallen badly for me as far as new grounds go, Rotherham and Wigan now week nights for example. Bolton is Balloon Fiesta week end and I’m sure there are more.

I live South Glos and even I won't get home until 11.30 after a night game unless I drive which defeats the object of necking down a few before the game.

Yes I sympathise for the non Bristol people like yourself. Even getting from Emersons Green to AG is painful enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of fans will be ok with it, and so is the club. I don't moan about it but we do have a lot of support down south who this must p iss off.

To be honest I much prefer Friday nights both for atmosphere and easier travel compared to Saturday (living outside of the city itself). Sunday would be my second choice, plus rugby combination clubs play on Saturday. Bristol Sport wanted more Saturday matches and they got them, most people I know want the traditional days.

Quite so and you cant please everyone. Whilst it deters me buying a SC now, i'm sure that my absence won't be missed, as the "changed" dates suit others more.

wendyredredrobin Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Swings and roundabouts. Friday nights are great for me and many others but some will find it inconvenient. It impacts away support to so a vit of a loser on the gate. Deffo prefer it to 12.00 on a Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youngish Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 We now know for sure that the game was moved because of Rugby. A bit out of order I think. https://twitter.com/MattParsonsBCFC/status/1021711993089216512 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting point. Don’t the club have to pay for a scheme or something if there are so many alacrity attendances in a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 There's a few more potential fixture clashes too as yet not fully resolved or settled upon. Millwall- it's on the Sunday. 2nd December- Bristol at home on 1st December. Did we get the official reason why that was moved yet? Potential clashes as yet unsettled: Saturday 29th December we host Rotherham- Bristol Rugby scheduled to play on 28th, 29th or 30th December v Newcastle. Saturday 16th February we host Birmingham- Bristol Rugby scheduled to play on 15th, 16th or 17th February v Wasps. That's about it (plus the Villa one and arguably the Blackburn one).
