Members didn’t get a look in. We took 45k to Wembley for a game against Walsall. Lot of interest in this one. Season ticket holders who want one should be fine, less certain for members like me.

eardun Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 This was the BBC report at the time: Bristol City sold out their allocation of 7,680 - the highest away attendance at Etihad Stadum in its 15-year history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like yesterday! But I’ve got no idea on how many of us were there (felt a lot though). I was at the MKD one more recently too and yes that was around 5k. I’ve also just been reminiscing about Rovers 1 City 2 at Eastville as 40 years ago (Dec 83) and felt packed on the terraces that day. Eastville '83 nowhere near that number, (14,396 total attendance) Eastville '75 (the 4-1 win) near 10,000 City fans (20,933) Eastville '76 (promotion season 0-0) well over 10,000 City fans (26,430) 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when we had West Ham at home in the cup. And City were going to get a bubble machine for them to run out to.

So for me bar finals at Wembley and the Millennium stadium this will be the biggest crowd I've seen us play in front of. Surely the biggest crowd would have been watching us at the super mem against the Barcelona of league 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see what happens Friday. I’m worried! Don't worry, they'll be plenty of tickets going around if you offer £30 or £40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not until Easter but looking at the fixtures I don’t think I’ll have any more than 5 or 6 by then and I reckon they’ll be snapped up by fans with a good number of away days. Plymouth will be 6/7 plus imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wokingham Red Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Wondered what people's thoughts are on if this will make general sale? The impression I'm getting is that it's unlikely. So it would be worth buying a membership to get access to tickets on Monday? £25 membership + £15 ticket seems reasonable considering the occasion. Only downside is having to give the Lansdowns more of my money Edited December 14, 2023 by Wokingham Red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess it’s because you could collect duplicates from Birmingham on the day if not received, West Ham this is not an option so the club need to ensure tickets are with supporters before the day so have put in tracked delivery and passing that cost on to us….. or they are just trying to get an extra £1.50 per delivery to add to JL’s crayon collection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I’d try and see if I could find out Graham According to a piece by Richard Latham it was 8000, I thought it was more towards 9000 What struck me was he mentions we played 64 fixtures that season League & Cup !! and Biff Newman and Alan Walsh played every single game ! What he also states , and he was on the players coach , is the coach was so held up in the traffic heading for the City Ground the players had to change on the coach and only arrived 30 mins before kick off , and ran straight from the coach Onto the pitch for a warm up !!
