Supersonic Robin Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 5 minutes ago, BCFC101 said: I might be misunderstanding your point but isn't this exactly the reason why we should be allowed to be excited to play a top 6 team, given that we're not good enough to play them regularly? The whole idea of any sport is to take on and try to beat the best out there, and when those chances are few and far between like they are for us then surely your relish that opportunity as a whole club See your point mate, but there's an important distinction IMO: It's exciting to compete with top 6 teams. It's not exciting to be battered by a top 6 team. I'm very excited about the idea of becoming a top half premier league team a la Brighton, who can compete with such clubs. I hate the idea of being hammered 6-0 on live TV. In other words, it's the idea of becoming a club who can compete with the very best which is exciting, not the act of simply playing these clubs.

No one gave us a cat in hell’s chance away to Liverpool. No one seriously thought that we would beat Mourinho’s United, with superstars like Zlatan, World Cup winner Pogba and a host of top internationals . This is the cup man. A packed Ashton Gate and highly motivated players can beat anyone. We may need a little luck but it is not impossible that we win. 27 1 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re assuming we’re going to get battered. Did you assume that last time we played them, when we took the lead at their place and remained in the tie until the very last kick of the second leg - and even had a chance to force extra time just before that? The excitement comes not just from the stature of the opposition or the big occasion, but that tiny fraction of a possibility that we might cause an upset. That hope - however unlikely - is what football is all about! It feels like you don’t get it. 11 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should get around 300k from TV. About the same from tickets too at least. Then we get all the things like advertising, hospitality, merch, food and drink. This one tie will easily net us at least 750k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was still in school and, thanks to the late, great Beryl Fudge, managed to get a seat on one of the supporters club coaches. I honestly can’t remember if the match was all ticket, but I remember standing on the terrace behind the goal, celebrating when Don Gillies scored by cheering and jumping up and down (for about two seconds ) and then the hair raising walk back to the coach. A truly wonderful day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brann-red Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 On the discussion of how many fans they’ll give, I noticed man United vs reading the other night there was just over 3k reading fans there - which as a % of the stadium capacity is tiny -75k I think .. I wonder how they figure it out and agree . I’d love them to give as few as possible and have as many fans behind atyeo as possible in red and white ..

Absolutely nothing wrong with getting giddy with excitement over playing one of the best sides in Europe. I'm a YTFC fan and although we've obviously spent almost all our history miles from the Prem (so the gap is bigger!), the days I look back on are the days where we had little or no chance of winning against the giants. Arsenal x 2, Liverpool, Man United x 2 and even some of the Championship sides we didn't have a prayer against. Once queueing out all night in the drizzle to get tickets for Liverpool at home.... these days literally don't come around very often so don't let anyone rain on your parade and say it's anything but fantastically exciting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
