You Know I Am Right Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 is it true that to go to the 2nd leg you have to go on bus/coach (ie cardiff) and that the gasheads can use the buses on an optional basis?also heard we are getting 2400+ for the 2nd leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh_red Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 both teams fans are being buses to each others grounds, it's for the bestnot sure about 2400, thought it was around 1800, either way I think I've blagged my way into a box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS10 RED Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I'm the buses is the best option but i sure there will still be trouble the boys will just go up gloucester road and not even bother going to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandegas1 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 As far as I no its still 1800!! The only way you can get more tickets is if they let you have the guiness stand (enf of the west stand) but this may not be an option because it leads into the home end!

Please remind me how old you are.As for going in the Family Enclosure, if you have a) a priority ticket which will enable you to buy a ticket for you and your child/children and b) the ability to keep your mouth shut should City score, then good luck to you. Frankly, I doubt a) and find b) unlikely, unless of course you are just all mouth on an internet forum.Face it Coddy boy, you won't be at either game.

Admin phantom Posted February 1, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 We are to get 1800 tickets, no reason to bus fans in to each game- no real trouble between the fans for many a year.http://www.bristolrovers.premiumtv.co.uk/p...0.html?ptvParm=Lets not hype this into something that it is not, the Evening Post will do that themselves !

Jarrett81 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Heard on the radio last night that the police haven't requested this but Rovers are looking to bus their fans in regardless and city are also looking into doing the same. Remember going before on the buses to the mem, just slightly annoying to have to travel all the way to ashton seeing i live just 10 minutes away from the poxy rugby club! As long as I get a ticket I won't be too bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moth Eaten Pillow Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Being bussed in and out will be a waste of time. Works when you play in a city with a bit of distance because OB can monitor movement via train stations, motorway slip offs but you can't monitor movement as well in a same city derby.

Pete1975Legend Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 My guess is that were being bussed into the rugby ground hence why there is no announcement about tickets as yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy082005 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 My guess is that were being bussed into the rugby ground hence why there is no announcement about tickets as yet.If they do do it this way then it will be a complete waste of time.The whole reason this has been done for Cardiff and Swansea is to dis-courage trouble makers from travelling over just for a scrap, plus its the best way to keep tabs on the fansWhat benefit will their be by having the buses? all the trouble makers who want a ruck are still going to head up Gloucester Road way arnt they? theres no point in travelling xxx amount of miles to Cardiff or Swansea for a fight, where as this Rovers game will be right on the door step.The sad thing is, there is going to be trouble........buses or not. There is no way to avoid it, the police will just have to deal with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 you obviously didn't go to the pre-season game last season when it all kicked off before and after the game! it was a bloody nightmare! I didn't go to that game but there was live reporting from the area on the local news. Despite them trying to make out that all-out war was about to commence they could only find one incident to report. A large group of Rovers fans tried to ambush a small number of straggling City fans on their way to the game They were intercepted by police on horses and a large number arrested on Horfield Commom. The Rovers fans in this incident accounted for 15 of the total of 17 arrests on the night. No doubt there other small incidents and plenty of "running about", and aparently the organisation involved in shepherding the City fans away from the stadium was chaotic and left alot to be desired. However, apart from the one incident involving Rovers fans and the shambolically organised exit of City fans it sounded relatively quiet compared with previous meetings, however much the local media tried to hype it up.

However, apart from the one incident involving Rovers fans and the shambolically organised exit of City fans it sounded relatively quiet compared with previous meetings, however much the local media tried to hype it up.if I remember rightly from when I was there last season, it all kicked off at the end outside the wellington and gloucester road got closed off at the top? because of this, a group of 8 of us, walked from the Mem to the centre and barely any traffic was driving towards town and not one single bus in the entire time we walked down, midway down gloucester road, we encounted a large group of around 20-30 "people" heading towards the mem looking for trouble and trying to start trouble with anyone who was interested, pre-game it also majorly kicked off at the pub down by the arches which totally locked up the roads heading towards the ground.All in all, it was a bloody nightmare so I think it is alot easier for people to be bused in and out of the ground for safety and for just ease for everyone concerned on both sides, it's worked well in the past and see no reason for it to be changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
