I don't smoke or have numerous cans of natch every day, so for me when I need to cut things out - and I'm sure I eventually will - I will have to dig a little deeper. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been pointed out some big clubs at this level have got some pretty poor attendances in the early rounds of this comp - it is what it is. The cost of living crisis if you haven’t realised is hitting people extremely hard at the moment and irrespective of tickets being ‘only’ a tenner for tonight that will still be financially a step too far for many. Congratulations to you for going tonight, give yourself a pat on the back pal.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAmNick Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 I live 20 mins walk away and I'm not going because I don't want to. I work full time and have a young family. I've been to every home game this year (paying £600 for my ST in the process) as far as I can remember, and pay to watch every away one. Maybe that means I'm not a fan by your definition? If so then fine! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucknugget indeed….I don’t get all this if you don’t go to every single game your not a true fan.. Every time we get games like this, against so called lesser opposition, these type of posts normally come out the woodwork. If you go, you go….if you don’t then so what we live in incredibly tough times. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatchers Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 I am going tonight, 35 minute walk down. As I work shifts I won't have to take holiday to go.this time. Anyone working shifts 8,10 or 12 hour double days or 24/7 day/night shifts can find it difficult to balance extra games like tonight's whilst being a season card holder. Games that clash with shift patterns that would need to take holiday for are not going to keep the Mrs happy. When clubs put out weakened sides in early rounds, it gives the impression that they are not bothered so why should'nt some fans think the same when they have more pressing problems in their lives ?

Not sure it was to be honest, apart from real glamour ties most fans don't get too exited by cup games, I mean just look at crowds for most FA cup games these days compared to say the 70s 80s I think clubs from the Prem, Championship playing vastly weakened teams has rather taken the gloss off both competitions. I mean if they can't be bothered to take it seriously how can they then be surprised when fans don't bother to turn up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grifty Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 I finish work at 5.15 and if I leave for Ashton Gate and get no traffic at all, I’ll get there at 8pm, not including walking once parked and getting a ticket which you can get up until 7.30. So that’ll be why I’m not going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
