Open End Numb Legs Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 28 minutes ago, Lanterne Rouge said: I haven`t looked at the traffic news but I assume there is gridlock in North Bristol with the hordes heading for the big game v Cambridge tonight? You would have thought so but I have just checked and it is Front Crawl Improvers Course on Tuesdays at Portishead open air pool so that is likely to attract a large % of their usual loyal followers. Unlucky to have a clash with something that big. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night there was a very good documentary on TV about Pompeii on that my wife was watching. It talked about volcanoes and pyroclactic fumes. The only large amounts of gas seen last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet they all still think they ‘nearly’ sell out every game End of season dead rubber is the excuse today. Add it to the lengthy list of Gas excuses along with Champions League on the box, a bit of rain and Halloween. ”if they play on the streets we’d watch them from the pavement…as long as it’s not an end of season game with nothing riding on it….you ******* SHITHEAD” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Hucker Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Like all clubs, 6426 will include those season ticket holders who, for one excuse or another, weren’t at the game. So the actual number present last night will actually go down like their sisters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, in 2000 years time, archeologists will be picking over old ground in north Bristol. Their digs will discover a mix of clues causing some confusion around the date ranges. There will be pillars discovered that don't fit the building design of the time, burnt pasties even though there was no volcano and seats that show no sign of wear and tear. On the plus side, despite this they will find a highly developed pitch irrigation system and a trophy cupboard with a non league cup in it. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Apparently 272 Cambridge fans there last night , doing a bit of charity work by bumping the faithful and true(ly awful ) crowd up . 6526 - 272 = they need a 20,000 all seater stadium really soon Just as well everyone counts the STH not there.

wendyredredrobin Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 I read somewhere that the average number of bums on seats is 20% lower than the number of tickets sold. 6,526 minus 20% = 5,220. Surely they have more bums than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 10 hours ago, 22A said: OK folks, a neutral has answered our eternal question. Was it ever a question? Some of the comments are funny, going on about 1982, which in reality is more embarrassing for them, as we’ve achieved more in 42 years than they have in all their years, even the years as a non league club. Also, I saw a few times this season, on Twitter, that their home games are near sell outs? Have they reduced their capacity? Because not one game has been close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
