Why should a rugby fan (or indeed a flyers fan) get any precedent. If there is a third group, it should be non members with ticket purchase history. Last time it was something like: STH Members with minimum five games Members with minimum three games All other members Hangers on. ….I think that’s about as fair as it can be and solves the rugby problem.

Season card holders first Members Bears season card holders general sale something like that? I've seen posts from Man City fans around my ways who have gone and purchased memberships so they can get themselves tickets. I've also seen Man City fans from Bristol comment on our own social media that they are gonna buy tickets in the home end. So I hope the priority is ST Holders Half ST Holders Members (with purchase history) And then any other criteria to try and ensure that as many genuine Bristol City fans can get a ticket for this game as possible. It would absolutely boil my piss if I was sat by someone who is a Man City fan who has cheated a genuine Bristol City fan out of a ticket. When was the last time we got the reigning champions in the Fa Cup? I think you're right about Bears fans having priority before. I can certainly remember that. I'm also sure I remember we did checks on social media and cancelled loads of tickets purchased by southwest based Man City/Utd fans.

There were so many big games in a small period that season that I wonder if we were all a little worn out and used to it. What bugs me about the highlights is the fact that all you can hear is metallic rustling coming from those plastic flags when the players come out The Mashton Plastic Flag Co in China made a real killing that day . . . . . allegedly. And ever since that day the club has been on Greta Glumberg's hit list for quadrupling our carbon footprint. As an act of contrition, I urge fellow supporters to bring a wind-turbine or solar panel to the Man City game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping they do the same again, as I’m a member who comes fairly regularly. I remember last time (Man Utd and Man City League cup games) being hacked off as away games didn't count towards your purchase history. I was then, and am now, a member, but I basically go to away games, with maybe one or two trips to AG a season when I'm back home seeing family. 5 years ago I'd done the four games necessary to get priority - but three of those were away games and so that wasn't enough to qualify me for any kind of priority. I wonder if this time around, after 5 years of data collection and software development, there might be a way to account for away purchases as well as home. I've no skin in this btw as I'm on holiday in the week of the 5th round so am not trying to angle to get myself a ticket. I just have a selfish soft spot for the City diaspora who support us away from home but rarely attend regular Saturday home games. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season ticket holders for their seat only - not able to swap seats or buy extra Members Anyone else who bought tickets for Swansea and West Brom FA Cup Others It means I probably won't get a ticket but if you attend the "crappier" rounds you should get first dibs on the plum tie. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have purchased memberships if they were regular attendees as it pays for itself. I'm guilty of not doing so, I've just checked my history and I really should stop doing pay on the day all mine are away games though and I'm sure the united game had a priority for members who had been to X amount of HOME games I've got no beef, I don't deserve a ticket over a ST holder as I can't be there every week. For the United game I bought a half-season ticket as I calculated even by going to the 2 games over xmas / new year and a couple more it saved me money. I've just bought a membership, I should have had one anyway, would have paid for itself in discount on games by now if I'd used it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, and usually my decision to go away depends on what time I get out of work so usually comes down to a last minute decision and I just pay on the day. I've got 4 games in my history for this season but all away. As I said above though, I know my place in the queue. I'd like to think I should be ok to get one but if not so be it, I'll wait for Wembley 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
