Mr Popodopolous Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 I'm assuming Cardiff reference was to lairy antics or similar. The risk of said lairy antics is they can get out of hand. They get out of hand, we can risk bubble matches which none of us want tbh. We had them v Cardiff for a while, didn't we have a few v Swansea also?

City fan 1982 Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Other than the potters wheel incident in Swansea , and the fact we’ve been in different leagues , I’m sure our mutal dislike of Cardiff will see we get on ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Still can't understand why some want to be jammed into a small train for half the journey with no refreshment car and one toilet BEST OPTION IN MY OPINION ten minute journey on the XX:41 service/s from bristol temple meads to parkway XX:09 service/s from bristol parkway, a nice gurt big train all the way to swansea group save tickets available,gives a third off also split tickets available and no bridge toll and for those who have not travelled to swansea by train before The ground will be on the lreft hand side going into swansea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Dry trains for away fans are a phenomenon. Presumably- hopefully- this isn't one such occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FSF normally highlight these, and I've not been aware of any yet this season Have City ever had a "dry train" - this game will 100% NOT be a dry day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess Swansea-us isn't a risk game, don't follow it in a big way but was always under the impression they did it for risk games? If it's at 3pm on a Saturday though, should be all fine.

Easy to get around anyway. Depends how rigorously they check, surely? Read of Arsenal-Everton- hardly a grudge match- a couple of years ago being made a dry train. However, if this fixture is allowed at 3pm on a Saturday, then there is no reason for a dry train policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that most clubs gets given roughly 2,100 tickets at Swansea, but just over 100 of those tickets were held back for the club officials, Sponsors, players families and friends. So there were 1,979 left to sell to your normal run of the mill supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just spoke to Swansea football officer. there has been no notification to either of us of having dry trains, so we are not aware of any plans for them to be so. with regards to the allocation this was a decision between both clubs, however it must be borne in mind the segregation area between Swansea and Bristol city will be bigger than that between Leeds. Both clubs discuss away allocation in the early stages of planning the fixture , there is no police involvement in this discussion. Will update any other important information tomorrow after the meeting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Thanks for the heads up. If the trains are cancelled, as long we are informed that they have NOT started from Paddington Is fine by me Don't wanna be told two minutes before its arrival its cancelled If it then cancelled at Paddington,we can make alternative arrangements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local derby to some extent...3pm kick off- first time we've met since 2011, might be deemed a bigger risk- hence a slightly bigger 'sterile' area than v Leeds.
