Because we are a ground now full of day trippers plus the game was crap hardly surprising. Edited April 13 by Street red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise there were quite a few on the bus who didn't see the goal. Edited April 13 by E.G.Red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1team Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 My behaviours were good. I had half an hour on the grass before the game, (not that I can find much grass here in Greece), but I was bored shirtless. Another game I've watched and rather be cooking the dinner. If you tolerate this then blah blah blah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 0-0? James was disappointing today, as were many, but the pelters he was getting around me were embarrassing. Think some people need the summer. Totally agree- wasn’t the best watch but we have a mini run going so didn’t get the booing at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you tolerate this then blah blah blah. Luckily I was watching overseas too! The first thing I thought was that was as much of an Inodus than an exodus. It was garbage. I used three or maybe even four utters in an earlier post but to not get into a conversation of levels of awful I’ll reduce it to a mere utter rubbish. I can’t remember a shot until the Peno! I take your point completely about tolerance of dross. But that seems to be where some are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really not. To give a parallel, let’s say you were a big fan of Star Wars and loved the original films. They were entertaining, fun and guaranteed you a good time. Now, The Phantom Menace comes out and George Lucas (in this case akin to Brian Tinnion) promises you a front foot film full of entertainment. You then watch it and it’s an interminable bore about trade routes, with the comedy relief in Jar Jar Binks being painfully unfunny. Nobody would blame you for walking out of that cinema. Nobody. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka Joe Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 The early mass exodus was simply to avoid any later mass exodus. However, it’s not like It was an exodus of biblical proportions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as a Star Wars fan, I do agree with the Jar Jar sentiment However I will say a good 2 minutes at the end of a football match can save it whilst a good 2 minutes at the end of a film won’t save it. At the end of the day people can do whatever, I just don’t agree with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part timer! The south stand was a sea of empty seats, at least you showed up. It was painful! The only thing missing was a Mexican Wave not easy with all those gaps mind you. Still me n the dog watched the entire 101 minutes in the living room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Colby-Tit Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Yeah, bloody fans leaving early, really pisses me off. Support the team until the end like I did, even if the football isn't great. I watched until the final whistle... ....and then switched off my laptop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Reckon South Stand had 4k at most. Holds something between 6-6.5k doesn't it. Lansdown was as usual not exactly packed..14-15k in the ground tops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to know how many City fans saw Nahki’s penalty scored as we fought regardless of performance to get on level terms. Speaking personally - it's end of the season and I'd just rather get food sorted for the family as live round the corner from the ground - so I'm in an advantageous position. If anyone saw us creating jack shite up until the penalty, then fair play to them. Ultimately consider today, in context of the last few games , as two steps forward (Leicester, Blackburn) one step back back (Today). Excusing the CB situation, going forward we were poor, perhaps highlighting how a differing approach- ie.e. pressing lanes against us - does a very good job of nullifying us. Something for Manning to prep for with regards to next season, imo. Edited April 13 by Fuber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Always been a problem at Ashton Gate Ultimately its probably because we have a higher percentage of fans compared to other clubs where the result isn't the be all and end all. Having a day out on the booze with mates or a nice family outing to 85 mins of football before the kids get bored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
