We can only dream of facilities of that standard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 0 - 0 at home against the bottom side is nothing to crow about. With Shrews still 0 - 0 v Pompey and Coventry or Oxford will be gaining at least a point tomorrow, things are looking pretty depressing for the Sags.

luke_bristol Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Deliberately setting out to hold onto a point for the last 15 minutes of a game, at home, against the side that are bottom of the table, is an interesting strategy.

Kodjias Wrist Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Another beauty from the sags I watched on Ifollow and it looked nearer 9,500/10,000 to me at the start. Our Crowds are gunna dip given our crap stadium and the cost of going when we are playing poor, like we are now. I went to the first home game of the season and went for a piss in the toilets in the main toilets behind the Thatchers and stood in a puddle of urine that was 2/3 inches deep that soaked my right trainer through.I had to go to the sportsman for a beer in order to recover from the experience, but luckly there bogs are awlful as well so my left trainer got evened out.I felt special on the bus home..! :laugh: Our crowds will stay between 7,500/ 9,000 mark even if we are going to struggle this season which is still strong given how awlful the mem is. How many would the city being getting if they were in league one again and were playing at the mem? It was only a few years ago that they were getting anything between 8k and 12k at home at the old ashton gate....( which btw was a million times better than the mem of today!!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) Yeah, the Mem really isn't up to league football standard. TBH, there are loads of non league grounds that are much better. It will improve immensively though once a housing estate has been built on it.

Excuses excuses as per normal. What the slag obviously doesn’t realise is that after one of the worst seasons in my 30 years of watching City and the pathetic way we were relegated back to L1 under O Driscoll, we sold 8k STs...that’s after relegation. They got promoted to L1 on the back of 2 successful seasons and they only sold 5k STs. Our crowds fell to about 10k against the likes of Colchester and Shrewsbury when we were bottom of L1 without a League win in about 6 months but then you wouldn’t expect a Gashead to get his figures right. All the facts point to us being far more loyal than they are, despite the bullshit they spout. Using their ground as an excuse doesn’t wash I’m afraid especially when they claim that they’re the Leagues superfans who’d ‘watch from the pavement if Rovers were playing on the road’.

cidercity1987 Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 They really are thick as shit. When was the last time we had under 10k at a home game? Probably not this century and certainly not in the last 15 years even being bottom of the third playing Shrewsbury and Crawley on a Tuesday night as POHh says above.

When was the last time we had under 10k at a home game? Probably not this century and certainly not in the last 15 years even being bottom of the third playing Shrewsbury and Crawley on a Tuesday night as POHh says above. During the 2013/14 season when we spent Sept-March in the bottom 4 of L1 we didn’t have a single home attendance under 10,000 for a League match. That includes the particulary depressing period before Christmas under SOD when we managed a grand total of 2 wins in the first 5 months (home and away). The following season our capacity was restricted by the redevelopment of AG, however we were still selling the vast majority of available home tickets for most games, including many sell outs. 2015/16 season we again spent most of the season around the bottom 3 (as we did in 13/14). The capacity of AG was still restricted by the ongoing redevelopment. Despite playing in a building site and getting beaten most weeks we had the most ‘full’ ground in terms of % of tickets sold to stadium capacity in the Football League (not inc Prem). Since then we’ve averaged 19/20k in the new AG so I don’t know which season the Saghead is referring to.
