Alan Dicks' Barmy Army Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 The thing I don't understand about all this is City are HOME tomorrow, Bristol are AWAY.

The equivalent of City v 15ers at Wembley, if both were in a relegation battle in the Premier League. That being said, I'll be at Ashton Gate.

BS15_RED Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I’m also a Rugby season ticket holder, however City is always my priority, so it’s BS3 for me tomorrow afternoon. No place I’d rather be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose a premier league game at twickenham could be a more attractive proposition than watching us trying to break down 11 Wigan players behind the ball , (and we usually struggle against teams like these ) and a **** of a ref who loves the limelight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the financial reasoning, but that seems odd. I think another reason i its moved is they want to make the rec bigger but the council are not playing ball. By moving the game local pubs, restaurants miss out on takings and will pressure the council to doing something. That’s what iv heard weather there is any truth I do t know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland Bill Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 11 hours ago, Bar BS3 said: Yes, now. But I remember being at St. James’s Park for Kevin Kegan’s first game as manager and it was regarded as incedible that they were going to have 30k attendance. Newcastle’s massive crowds have been built on many years of top flight football. I’m not saying we’d ever get anything close, if we manage that, but back in the old 2nd division I remember a game up there when there were about 13k in attendance, so don’t fall for the myth that Newcastle have always been some kind of super club. I saw us draw 0-0 at Newcastle in the approx 88-89, the crowd at St James Park that day..........11,000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic opportunity to have a few beers and see the bears in a great stadium - don’t see why people can’t get that. I will be at the Gate but keeping a close eye on the bears twitter account.

cidered abroad Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I'm a real City fan and a real Bristol Bears fan. Ever since I was six years old. Chose City over an expensive and tiring journey by train, but wish I could be at both. Also do not agree with the changing of stadium, if one can call The Wreck a stadium, to hold the match in a bigger capacity venue, one hundred miles away. If Bristol or City ever do this, I'll demand a refund on my ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, really torn as I’ve never been and unlikely to get the opportunity of seeing Bristol ( sorry, Bears) v Bath there again. Some tickets were as low as £15 too. However I resisted and will be cheering on my first love as usual tomorrow. Good for you. I must confess, were I still living in Bristol then, as a Bath fan and given it is 'only Wigan', I would have been sorely tempted to go to Twickenham.

Yep, fair play mate, I’ve often wondered why people openly tout their ST’s on here when they ‘aren’t transferable’ - wouldn’t want anyone to get into any problems even though they are being genuine and looking to help out fellow fans....

Bollocks to rugby, not half as exciting as football. I can just about tolerate the six nations or the WC but it’s not a patch on football. Heading out now for a few in Bedminster’s finest public houses before trudging down to the Gate for another 3 points, no way I’d rather spend my Saturday. Not buying it? I am slightly regretting it yes, but still looking forward to it. No idea why you need to try the whole super fan thing, although you'll be at ashton gate in 10 minutes according to what you've said previously so don't let me bother you!

I’m no superfan and I’m not playing that card, just saying what I’d rather do with my Saturday afternoon. Each to their own, I hope you enjoy your day regardless and hopefully the news filtering through from Ashton Gate is positive. I always regret missing home games, doesn't mean I'm not excited about the prospect of going to Twickenham. I'll be there Tuesday night anyway so here's hoping we'll be going into that one with 3 wins in a row... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in that case Bristol should let Bath have Marv as their Mayor. He gets things done and really understands how having a world class facility, that draws large crowds of people into a city centre location, gives a tremendous boost to the local economy, as well as raising the profile of the city. Or maybe he could re-locate Bath Rugby to Filton... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I've admitted I went to the egg chasing today and (apart from the £7 a pint and £6.80 for a pasty) I really enjoyed it. The number of City fans I saw at the game surprised me TBH but we're all back on Tuesday. Yeah, today was a good laugh but how sterile is the rugby FFS? Bath fans are SOOOOOO up themselves. #BORED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
