CyderInACan Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 With season ticket holders getting a free ticket each for the Bristol Bears game at 3pm on Saturday at AG I just wondered how many had taken up the offer and will be heading down to BS3 for the game?

They've fulfilled their offer, so there is no requirement to offer up more tickets. However, last season there was a second free ticket offer, and in at least one earlier year they had a second ticket offer if you hadn't taken up the first one. So I'd say it's a probably not but maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 I'll be there with my rugby ST. Anyone want a freebie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashtonboy Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 Used all the previous free tickets, and thats enough for me. Boring as hell and almost unrelated as a sport to international matches. Not helped by the crap atmosphere for long stretches of the match. B R I S S being the only chant also doesn't help. I do though, hope the Bears do well this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 I’m just glad the free tickets are being used. 1) Bristol Bears deserve a good crowd 2) If we don’t use the freebies they might be deemed unnecessary and withdrawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitchurch1966 Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Surprised they aren't getting bigger crowds for Premiership games, with or without freebies, I went last year but got got fed up with the everyone around me just discussing their social lives and what they are planning for the evening, very few were taking much interest in the rugby.

As I said before the rugby crowd are very much like that, quite a culture shock for me when I first started going as the match is almost secondry and is only given the occasional glance by many. The drinking and the mixing of the fans to, no abusing the opposition and only one song. 3 years later I’m still finding it strange. It’s good, but different.

I think bristol are currently second j the attendance charts, although obviously the bath game has skewed that somewhat... If they can average 14-15k this season then that is very solid, Bar leicester no side gets over 20k regularly and the likes of sale, Worcester and Newcastle average between 5-9k every week. Rugby is still a minority sport in comparison to football in England with crowds more around cricket standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfOfWestStreet Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Well went today on the freebie and it was fantastic. High scoring game 45 - 40, unfortunately Bris lost. Great to watch a game with a beer. Both sets of supporters all enjoying the game together. 14600 attendance which makes the Gas Bristols third best supported team. Ha ha what a bunch of shithouses. Will be back for the rugby again, thanks for the ticket Bristol Sport you have new fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, the matchday announcer (who wasn't Downsy!) said that just over 2,000 City ST holders had taken up the offer of a free ticket. For me it was my first ever time watching a professional rugby match in the flesh and I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
