Kingswood Robin Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 57 minutes ago, richwwtk said: It was moved because of the Rugby, but not because it was due to be played at Ashton Gate. They just didn't want a fixture clash and moved our match to give people the opportunity to go to both. The location of the rugby was irrelevant. I think that's what has been said anyway. That possibly makes me feel even more peeved about it! Thanks for the explanation. I coach an Avon Youth league team on Sunday mornings, so no chance of getting there. Do you know if there's any way to swap a season ticket for Robins TV for the one game, or is it just pay again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true (I used to work Saturdays and Tuesday nights !), but it's a bit annoying when you've already paid for a season ticket and my son and I have to miss out. If you could substitute your ticket (don't know if it's possible) for Robins TV that would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashton gate historically has been the home of Bristol city football club since 1887 Historically, Yes Going forward, No We've both got another 119 years lease to play at AG8 45 minutes ago, myol'man said: Why on earth would they plan to play Bristol vs Gloucester in CARDIFF? Last time I looked that was in a different country All about money, Look at the pay days other sides have got that have played at bigger grounds Different country doesn't really apply in club sport, especially as mileage wise it isn't that far away for either side Fortunately it was an idea that wasn't followed up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and that's why the home game against them was switched to the Friday too. For a fixture to be changed both clubs need to agree. Hull needed to move their home game against us to the Friday so we said OK but only if we move our home game against them to the Friday too.

We were able to get Hull to agree to it because they requested we move their home game against us to the Friday. From a footballing perspective it makes perfect sense to move the game forward to the Friday as gives longer recovery time ahead of the boxing day game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto. Our normal kick off time is 12:30 but have shifted this one to an early kick off at 10:30. Hoping to be done and dusted for midday and then it’s a drive from Yate to Ashton and hopefully finding a space and getting in just about on kickoff. Not ideal but probably doable. I’ve already committed that if there are unavoidable clashes between my AYL side and City that my team take precedent for me. It’s the difference between letting down one child or twelve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 I’m in two minds about going. If it was a Saturday I would have been there. We had planned on going Christmas shopping Sunday before I realised what day the game was. Right now, Christmas shopping is more appealing than sitting in the cold watching boring football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 I think the big question not being asked here is... When did local pitches for kids playing amateur football all get under-soil heating? It's going to be minus-billion degrees this weekend, so won't most games be off, or has kids football toughened up in the last few years and they'll run about regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
