Mike Stone Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 Did the club give the attendance out today? I was in the ground but didn't hear anything. I'm guessing around 10,000 Quote
MelksRed Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 To be fair I had to motivate myself to attend. I love the club but have a growing antipathy for attending when the games are so poor. Attended as always need to undertake resilience training. COYRs 1 Quote

1960maaan Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 As @Taunton_BCFC said, 12 something. I think it's great we get 20k for League games, but I'm like many, having to stump up extra for Cup games I struggle for motivation. It was my mates Birthday and that was the main reason I went. 1 Quote
Brann-red Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 Thought that was a decent attendance today . Also thought it was sensible they closed the upper lansdown to use resources elsewhere … although they made zero impact in the away end where it seemed you could do whatever you want today if you were a Swansea fan 4 Quote

Swans today took the piss in removing netting to get closer to City fans. Feel for stewards who aren’t paid enough to deal with that but yet again we fail to learn. 1 1 Quote

Would’ve been easy for the club to make a block family friendly. 2 Quote

I noticed the netting was missing, which was hard to believe and even worse if the Swansea fans removed it, definitely poor security. Would be interesting to hear the view of Dave Storr! Quote

I’m sure there will be a review by the club on how this was allowed to happen and also what plan/s should be in place to stop it repeating. Quote
milo1111 Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 Every time they come over here there are problems. To keep allowing 2.5k over here on their own steam with a large portion of that number coked up and looking for aggro is dumb to say the least. I know it might not be popular but I never understood why they stopped the bubble trips 1 Quote

COYRs Being a life long Bristol City fan will make this a walk in the park in terms of resiliency. Good work digging deep today though. Hope you stayed for the 2nd half because that alone was worth the price of the ticket. 1 Quote

It was because they were being told to get off the stairwell rather than to get closer to the home end 1 Quote
real_bristol Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 Why don’t they put gates at the bottom of that top tier in the Atyeo and block off the first and last blocks!??? Quote

I know it might not be popular but I never understood why they stopped the bubble trips It was embarrassing crossing the park after the match. I passed loads of young teens waiting to “ambush” the Swansea fans as the left the ground. At one point they all ran across the park towards them, then one police Alsatian dog barked and they all ran back. Just like the grand old Duke of York who marched his men up to the top of the hill then marched them down again 3 Quote

As @Shufflesaid, stewards aren’t paid enough or equipped / empowered enough to stop them. Don’t really understand why we net off the front of the Atyeo to be honest. It just invites away fans to do what they did today in my opinion. Royally pisses me off that we give away fans the whole Atyeo anyway but obviously not a lot you can do when its a cup fixture as you are obliged to give them them a bigger allocation. The club definitely needs to review the layout of Ashton gate next season IMO. It has been done to death on here over the last few years but we need to somehow try and get the home advantage back again. Having S82 either expanded or another singing section introduced next to the away fans in the Atyeo is vital to improve the atmosphere for me. Easy for JL etc to bury their heads in the sand about the AG atmosphere but it is dire at the moment and something needs to be done. Big away followings keep coming here and taking the piss year in year out. Edited January 8, 2023 by Bris Red 1 1 Quote

Always makes me laugh. 1 Quote
