Don't see the point of someone coming on here lauding the fact that they are only bothered to come down to the gate when The big boys are in town, and uses a player that hasn't even been playing for us as an excuse. As a true fan you take the highs and the lows (and there have been more lows in recent seasons.) remembering that without support there would be no team to support. If you are unable to come to the gate for financial or other legitimate reasons fine, and if you just can't be bothered that's also OK but just admit it and not make lame excuses.

Welcome To The Jungle Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 17th March 2018 - Ipswich Town I held up this banner, left before Kick Off, not been back since. I love football. I love Bristol City. But the whole Season Ticket renewal fiasco of 2018 showed the true colours of those running our club. But worse for me, the unwillingness of most fans to meaningfully oppose it. It left me disillusioned with the club as a whole. I ground hop now, mostly around non-league, but I dabble in L1 and L2 as well.

I was back in the UK because my dad a City supporter for all his life passed away that year. The pastor of our great club presented at my dads funeral a few days after this game. Me and my son had a couple of great seats in the Lansdown stand next to the press box. What a great stand and great stadium. Even though it was a sad visit I still appreciated the warmth of people in Bristol and the ones associated with out great club. Previousely to that every time I went back to the UK apart from family catchups my priority was to see our great club Bristol City play.

SydneyCity Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 To see a game it was sometime in 2013 for me. SOD was in charge. I can’t actually remember who we were playing but I was fearing the worst given all the despair on here at the time. I didn’t think it was that bad, or I could at least see what we were trying to do. We drew due to a shocking attempt at a back pass by Flint that put them through on goal. Other than that, it was a trip to the club shop in 2018. That was a lot more depressing than watching City failing in League One. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainsey Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) It's an interesting point raised by the OP. I haven't actually been back since Covid first struck. I got out of the habit of going unfortunately which I'm sure will be the case for others too. More recently I've started supporting my (even more local) team Yate Town - luckily living nearby so a short walk to the stadium rather than a 2 hour round trip to Ashton Gate. A tenner a ticket, can have a beer while watching, can stand wherever I like and the footy ain't bad either. Still following City from afar but in terms of going to games I'm actually preferring the match day experience and value for money provided at Yate right now.

I can remember that match well and as we left we did wonder if it would be our last game for a few weeks or at worse months……in the end quite a few months but It seems it was a turning point for a lot of people.
