Wanderingred Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Have to agree about Reading. Totally non descript club. If it weren't for the fact they are local-ish, they would probably be the dullest fixture of the season, along with Rotherham and Hull. Very little atmosphere is ever created from their fans, who would probably be more at home watching rugby. All that said, two Championship titles, several playoff appearances and a top half Premier League finish... that's something to be respected on the pitch, even if they are a bit naff off it! If we can emulate that in the next few years, I'd be delighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is on the official site:- RUCKSACKS Ashton Gate Stadium asks supporters not to bring large rucksacks on matchdays, following advice from the National Counter Terrorism Office and Avon and Somerset Police. Fans will still be able to bring smaller handbags into the stadium, although these will be subject to the usual search process. An Ashton Gate spokesman said: “The searching process will always be subject to change and whilst there is no specific threat to any Sports Ground, we must ensure that we remain vigilant and the message to spectators is to ‘Be Alert not Alarmed’.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Anyone have info on tickets sold for this one? Both home & away. I'm thinking that we should have a pretty decent attendance with Reading being close, an Easter game and now at yhe sharp end looking like playoff material. Important games for both teams with Reading improving but still only 4 points from safety and us in 6th with a game in hand, but the chasing pack eager to pounce if we drop any points between now and the end of the season. What about team selection? Korey Smith is fit again and what about Callum O'Dowda and Nikki Maenpaa? Maenpaa Wright Kalas Webster Hunt DaSilva Smith Pack Brownhill Weimann Diedhiou Any thoughts on this or perhaps a different selection or formation? 12 noon KO in case anyone was thinking of arriving for 3pm.

Crimson Crayola Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I'd be surprised if we saw maenpaa this weekend based on what Dean Holden said earlier this week. Other than that, I reckon that 11 will start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
