over 20,000 expected on boxing day, not bad considering

[Numero Uno]

I caught an illness called Gasitis over Xmas that only “50%” of Bristol can catch and which causes hallucinations so I think it will be 23,500 tickets sold, 34k actually in the ground and 5k locked out…..

My wife died back in March.  My son, who is a Dr in Coventry, came home after a 12 hour shift at 10.30pm last night and so we decided to have today as our family get together.  Been to every League game so far this season up until that point.  Thanks for the insult.

Just parked up. Far quieter than usual at this time.

I think that less than 25% of bristolians have the disease these days.

And it`s being cured at an ever increasing rate so will be eradicated in the near future.

Is it really over 20 000 there today?

Nowhere near

Dolman was half empty on 85 minutes. I don’t expect any casuals to be back any time soon.

[freezer]

Over 23 000 in attendance apparently. 

So I doubt that any newbies will be inspired to probably return any time soon following on from such a poor result, performance and atmosphere.

This was taken at kickoff 

[freezer]

Blimey, I was at the Bears vs South Africa game (23 000 +) and there didn't appear to be an empty seat. 

Maybe a percentage of late comers but that doesn't even look like an 18 000 crowd.

I give our current owner little credit these days, but you can’t argue with how his strategy to grow the fan base over the years has been a big success.

17 k tops ?

We all know they count season ticket holders regardless. 3 out of 4 in our group didn't go today and I suspect there's many who didnt turn up (including half of the squad). That picture is pretty damning when claiming 23k attendance

Meanwhile Wales is still in lockdown

The stated 23k will be tickets sold (as usual) rather than a claim of 23k in attendance.
