How many went to Swansea (and took over the Liberty) and are going to Leicester? Both times we have been given large allocations 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted September 9, 2023 Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 22 hours ago, richwwtk said: 2 free kicks from almost identical positions in less than two minutes nonetheless! A night game IIRC in the middle of that long winning run we were on. Fun fact: I believe the BBC filmed some scenes for an episode of Casualty/Holby City at that game where the paramedics had to treat a fan pitchside (in front of the EE/Dolman corner) who had been taken ill.

Admin phantom Posted October 3, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Coventry sold their initial allocation of 2500 in one day today I'm sure they'll be asking for the additional 900 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topper 123 Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) Come on city fans let’s make an effort to fill Ashton for the next 2 home games as the away end is going to be very loud and noisy. If every person tried to bring along a friend who hasn’t attended before we should get sellouts , make the effort make some noise and cheer the lads on Edited October 12, 2023 by Topper 123 Wrong letter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full nelson Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 It's hard to justify the price to my friends who just say, "city aren't exactly good at home" and "we can watch prem football 2 hours east, or 90 minutes north.

ralphindevon Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 If Mark Ashton promises to bring his new best friend, Ed Sheeran, it could add a few to the attendance for the Ipswich game. On the other hand…….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of my friends have been on 'mates rates' tickets, but they look at a match day cost and decide they would rather spend the money in the pub and watch a game, or stream games on their firestick. They fully appreciate the live experience is better, but if you aren't in the habit of buying a ticket, it's a big ask for a lot of folk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Wow, don't forget we are averaging over 20K this season. It is the envy of many a team in the Championship and a few in the Prem as well. It is always a good idea to get new faces along to the Gate, but let us not be too harsh on our support, at the moment it is as large as it has been since 79-80. 10 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do enjoy the experience of the Gate but the game itself usually falls flat of expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkev Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Our away support so far this year has been excellent and tbf you can’t knock the home support considering the dross that has been dished up over the last 3 years , performances have improved considerably the back end of last season and the start of this season unfortunately the results are still very hit and miss also Ashton gate / Bristol is a very attractive away place to come usually they get the 3 points also some great watering holes for away fans ( there must be more away pubs than anywhere else in the league ) another reason it’s an enjoyable experience for away fans ( seriously) the old bill here are pretty fair in my opinion up to some of the gestapos we have to put up with on our travels . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
