Club and Country Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Funny competition the fa cup… away teams for whatever reason always travel in numbers i haven’t been away for years, but if we were away to West Brom this weekend I would really fancy that… magic of the cup eh!? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkev Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 I have said a few times before , coming to city is quite a popular away game for most fans , usually they take the 3 points for starters . good away end with decent acoustics, A&S police are far from the worse police force policing football matches so they get to have a decent day. Plenty of decent places to drink without stepping on the toes of the city faithfull. Waterfront, kings street , Clifton & most places other side of the river think a fair few away fans also head to either Thornbury & Portishead and generally Bristol is renown for being a very decent city to visit ( despite what some of us may think ) I travel all over the uk and let me tell you Bristol is very decent , bit slow on decision making and some bizarre decisions ( Bristol arena in Filton ) but that’s another story. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of around 10 STH I know , we are down to 4 Saturday for various reasons. It would be good to get to 20k, and WBA bringing more than Swansea is a start. I would guess about 14k though.

Kodjias Wrist Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 What may add numbers to the gate is how transfers unfold next week. If Semenyo goes and we get a couple in, fans may be excited to see the new lads in action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocking Red Cyril Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 I feel the club have done well for the discounts offered to STH's and memberships. Surely as supporters we should respond to that. Out of interest how many does. STH + memberships =. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 Looking forward to this. Expect to give them a tougher game than Boxing Day. Good prices, Good away following, 4th round of the cup. Keep our run going. Bring on the Baggies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 Hope we get a good crowd for this one. Very reasonably priced and a spot in the fifth round is a decent prize for the winner. Surprised City don't incentivise cup games a bit more by offering attendees additional priority on the next round (after season ticket holders of course) if we get there. We're members and we're coming, and bringing a couple of friends who were drawn in by the pricing. In these tough times, it really does make a difference to whether people come or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyreds89 Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Won’t be anywhere near 20k unless ticket sales pick up quickly current site showing, 4,089 left in Dolman 3,889 left in south stand 1,886 left in lower Lansdown stand, upper not open. entire lower bowl of stadium seats 21,000. if WBA sell 3.5k that leaves 700 spare in Ateyeo Stand. That means so far 10,436 sold if WBA sell their full allocation. Might get 13/14k if we’re lucky.

It was the same in the week of the Swansea game, ticket sales were slow but still had a decent gate considering ko time and it being on a Sunday.

I actually think Sundays are a benefit for numbers. Bristol has a decent local football scene on a Saturday which means many miss out.

It used to have one of the highest number of players in the country aside from London, iirc. Not sure it makes much difference to numbers playing on a Sunday though. All kids football is on a Sunday morning/afternoon which again, has high levels of participation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember working with a bloke from Liverpool, who was surprised that Saturday football was “big” down here, and up there Sunday football was seen as much more important, better levels, etc. I wonder if that was anything down to the people that played wanted to watch Liverpool or Everton, so importance shifted to Sunday football?

Yeah Sunday football is massive on Merseyside. Can remember going to watch a FA Sunday Cup game many years ago between a Bristol side (UK Flooring, I think it might have been) and a side from Merseyside, got chatting to a few who came down who said how seriously it is taken up there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It alternates from one year to the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myol'man Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 Would advise anyone thinking of paying on the day to think otherwise. Swansea cup match was carnage at the ticket office, only 4 windows open , printers didn't work, hand written tickets. Lots missed kick-off. As Fred Pontin used to say "Book Early" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
