22A Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 A few balanced and reasoned points made by one or two posters, but most remain delusional; "I thought all the Bristol sport corporate stuff was a bit sinister, I hope we never end up that way if we do go up. " "We've just got to keep our squad and staff together and keep progressing and I honestly believe we'll overtake them some time in the next few years. To be honest I don't really care that much the way I see it is we're a better club than them regardless of league position because we didn't turn our backs on our club like they did theirs in their darkest times. But of course it would be great to play and beat them in the league again." "I know the way we are run as a club right now we can, and will get to the top level - will they?"

HoldenBall Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Just the 19,000 there. If only we could give out free tickets and barely muster a 10k crowd. Why do they bother? They're on the verge of a potential 3rd promotion in a row yet they still can't sell out a capacity of 5 white seats, a tent and a gazebo. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on one of their previous threads one of their fans was claiming that we ARE giving away free tickets. Despite there being no evidence of this their fans lapped that up. They are the Trump supporters of British football. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodEmperor Palpatine Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Strange lot, laughing at our 19000+ but can't give free tickets away... What boycott were they holding this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the horse punching inbred forkwits not realise that 19000 attendance in a 27000 seater stadium is (a) almost double their attendance this week (b) not padded out with freebies and (c) will mean there are 8000 spare seats (or put it another way, 10 times the number they have)? Of course they sell out every week and would fill our ground with those locked out. Or put it another way, disapppointing that we only got 19000 for a match that was in the box with a daft kck off time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Except Bristol Sport grew out of Bristol City and our owner's ambition to do something for the city. They on the other hand sold out to someone they'd never heard of (to avoid going under methinks) and are now just the football and horse-punching franchises of an offshore corporate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Was it Rovers and not Rangers away to Ross County today? Ross play at Dingwall and it was announced that there were more people in the ground than live in Dingwall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall that tickets were split in 3 ways, the two competing clubs and a neutral area. Just wondering if it add any clarity to the 'embarrassment' of only getting 19,000 at home, for a televised game on what is traditionally a night of the year when people go to fireworks display. I'm sure they'll have sold hundreds of thousands but the number escapes me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 I get the piss take, if I were a deluded numpty I'd be giving us some if we lost or got knocked out of a cup by a non league team, that sort of thing. But to try and gloat over us only getting double the gate for a televised game that they get when you didn't even have to pay to get in smacks of all kinds of stupid. It's the equivalent of us taking the micky out of Man City for only getting 54k and not filling the stadium, as I've said before if Dumb was an Olympic event ...........

Hello Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 and I wonder if it should have been disallowed. I thought technically if you left the pitch you required permission to re-enter especially in a deliberate play such as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
