ciderhead456 Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 i read the thing from the meeting with SL and he says that season ticket holders can swap tickets and go to the east end but when me and a mate rang up city they told us that we cannot do this... anyone know if we can or not for sure??thankshttp://www.bristolcityst.org.uk/trust_news...cle000384.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringbacktherobin Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 If lansdown said you can then you must be able too.Just shows how little the people in the club must talk to each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted October 11, 2007 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 If lansdown said you can then you must be able too.Just shows how little the people in the club must talk to each otherThat's a bit unfair on SL. He said it off the cuff last night, and it now needs CS and co. to follow it up. I'm sure if you call the ticket office and politely let them know that SL said that ST holders in other areas of the ground may, if they wish, swap their season ticket for one in the East End, that they will take your details, go away and check with their line manager that this is correct, call you back and sort it all out.He also said that any EE ST holder who wanted to swap to another part of the ground could do so.In fact, neither announcement is actually news, as the club has had a policy all season of allowing anybody with an ST in an area that, for one reason or another they've decided they don't want to be in, to swap it for a seat in another area or stand. SL was simply confiming that this applied to EE ST holder just as much as to anyone else, and that the options of where you wanted to swap to did not exclude any of the home areas.

Guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 It was me that asked him that question "Can you swap your season ticket into the eastend" and he said yes.therefore you should be able to swap a p.o.d. for the E.E p.o.d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 therefore you should be able to swap a p.o.d. for the E.E p.o.d No because his argument was that if you have a season ticket and you kick off, then they have your details, but POTD doesnt have this.(that was the arguement anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted October 11, 2007 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 therefore you should be able to swap a p.o.d. for the E.E p.o.d No, because they haven't got your name and address details if you POTD. That's the point: they want to know who's in there, which anybody who intends to behave themselves shouldn't have a problem with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you're a known 'trouble-maker' they won't sell you an ST. They can't make the necessary checks with POTD.2. Yes, that's a loophole, which is kept closed as best as possible by only doing POTD on limited occasions when overflow is required.3. They shouldn't and I've no doubt the stadium manager is looking at how to stop that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great plan, Steve? Badger? also re S.T`swaps, there is also no reason why any swaps have to be permanant fans should be allowed to exchange for the day they have their details.

There is also the credit card info as most fans use these when paying.Although some may not, I would pre- register any info they require; starting with I have been a law abiding fan for over 40years and just want the option to be able to go in the E.E when I want to, in this its last season There must be a way for this to happen???

Frome Valley Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 1. But if you're a known 'trouble-maker' they won't sell you an ST. They can't make the necessary checks with POTD.2. Yes, that's a loophole, which is kept closed as best as possible by only doing POTD on limited occasions when overflow is required.3. They shouldn't and I've no doubt the stadium manager is looking at how to stop that happening.If your a known trouble maker you are banned and are not allowed nead the ground matchdays. Its not being suggested fans who have beeen arrested in the East End and Dolman are banned is it?Seems to me a lot of mistakes have been made by the club but fans are the ones being penalised and to state the East End is a catalyst for trouble was wrong. Problems have been stemming from the Dolman as well? No action?Bristol Citys inability to manage a small number of fans with all they have at their disposal is almost unique.The treatment of fans within the East End is poor and to punish them to me is utterly wrong. Fans have not even be able to get their own families into the ground since August and what has been done about that? Nothing by the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frome Valley Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 and quite frankly i think thats fair enough. Can you imagine POD in the EE for Cardiff ??!It would have been all ticket same as Rovers would be but all these restriction as are not waranted v Blackpool, Colchester..... I would have imagined City would have then employed same measures as those witnessed elswhere like Cardiff with the Grange end and Plymouth namely stewards, police segregation, netting plus the Cardiff game has travel restrictions.

I think it is quite likely the ground will be a sell out of close to a sell out for that match so I think it will be open as overflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is quite likely the ground will be a sell out of close to a sell out for that match so I think it will be open as overflow.Cardiff is not a huge draw.I would love to see the East End full of our fans to combat the noise their several thousand will make but City have to sell five thousand plus tickets first on top of season tickets to make that a reality.We may only see the East End used as overspill once or twice more this season.

Barrs Court Red Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I wont do it simply because people I bring wouldnt be able to get a ticket.Should just open the thing up to everyone and have done with it, rather than ###### about.
