Mighty Squirrel Kingdom Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Can OTIB reprint the article that says 'City are the team in red and Wayne Allison doesn't play for us anymore'?Glory hunters they may be, but they're paying glory hunters. Just wait until the programmes run out and see how many come back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Sorry fella's, I guess I fall into the category of fan you're all moaning about. I'm a student so have to pick and choose my games. I go to most games over the holidays and any stand out games when I'm at university. This is definitely a stand out game, so I've got my ticket. To be honest I think the 4,000 extra we get on match days consist of around 10,000 people doing the same as me. Part timers maybe, glory fans coming out of the woodwork, no.

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted January 18, 2007 Author Admin Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Lets hope we don't put in our normal performance in front of a sell out - we haven't played well enough for quite a few years, to encourage them back.

Have been to every City game when I have been in Bristol as well as several away games. Have also travelled back, and whilst I can't justify the cost of travelling back for a weekend just for football, I do tend to 'accidently' co-incide my weekend back at home when City are at Ashton Gate.

Yeah but there are probably still at least a couple of thousand who pick and choose games due to commitments yet still go to quite a few a season, and for them this would be a real standout game. Just look at the attendance on Boxing Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Almost sold out? and thats with the ST's yet to be all claimed.It just goes to show what happens when the partimers bother to turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robins72 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 It just goes to show that IF we play bigger clubs then we can get the fans back. IF we go up in May we should be able to easily get at least 10k of season ticket holders and crowds of 13k per home match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given a spare £20 no-one would choose to go to the Brighton JPT game (for example) over the Boro game. As I said before on this thread I'm a part timer, but I still went to games while we were on that losing streak last year (again, as an I example). No way can you call me/us a glory hunter.

half timer Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 i guess i am a glory hunter /not a REAL fan too because ive got a ticket to this game but have only been to 3 home games and 2 away this season but i had a season ticket for 4 years before this, but now i have to pick and chose which games i go too and this is one i wanted to go to and most proberly would have went if it was hull too.

dezgimed Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Is the ability to boast about being a real fan and acting like a stroppy kid included in the price for a season ticket these days?This isnt about whos daddy is bigger.Its about City, the best team in Bristol managing pathetic gates week in week out, pathetic for a City of its size and because when a decent game comes along the demand for tickets rockets to 40,000.Its a total joke in my opinion.Middlesborough or Chesterfield, you either want to watch City or you don't.

Taz Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I've yet to get my (season ticket) seat, but will do so before close of business on Saturday (hopefully tomorrow).I wanted one extra as well but by the looks of it I'm not going to get that :noexpression: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenred Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Got tickets for five of us..... - three of us go to almost every home game (I myself have missed 2 - work and holidays) and have also been to four away games this season (not candidate for supporter of the season I admit!!) That leaves two of my mates that support city over any other team but probably come once or twice a season. I had no guilt in getting them tickets at all however -with our average gate of circa 11K that left another 8K odd tickets to be snapped up by those who don't go on a regular basis - so first come first served surely????? If there are genuine cases of why people who do go to most games have missed out then I do feel sorry for them don't get me wrong, but like I said first come first served and where there is a will there is a way to get a ticket.........
