Gasheadm Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Fair play to you for going. Every team has the band wagon jumpers or "glory boys" for a better term. Just wait and see the demand for tickets if/when we go up!!!I will always go, come rain, shine, whatever league we are in, I cant understand how people can not just go because its cold or whatever other reason people did not go. I understand a lot of people cant afford it, but I really don't think that accounts for all the missing fans last night.Yes full house for you every week I would imagine, I would think a lot of people will purchase season tickets when you get promoted.

But that doesn't apply to all or even the majority of the missing 6,000 from Sunday. And the best excuse of the lot that some of your mob came up with - "it was too cold and there was football on the telly". Who would believe that, following a WINTER sport, there would be games that you go along to and get cold? Obviously, you are well above the criticism as you got your ar$e down there last night but you have so many Daytrippers and Part Timers who "look out" for your club but hardly go and support them that it's embarrassing. I bet there were a few who didn't even realise you had a game last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Humble Realist Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 It seems to be a rule recently brought in that your not allowed to sell more tickets than the number of seats in your ground....crazy! I know, bloody health and safety squaresyes but i would like to know how many sell outs we have had this season. Our attendances should be 2 or 3 thousand better on average. I aint an idiot expecitng 40k every week, but we arnt exactly filling the ground are we.The Gas are poor as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redminster Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 What? They claim if we were in their league position then the would have the better attendances? So if we were both in the same position attendances would be the same?? Were we no attracting more than double that when we were sat bottom of league one?It seems to be a rule recently brought in that your not allowed to sell more tickets than the number of seats in your ground....crazy! I know, bloody health and safety squaresIf you're a gashead, I'd imagine it would be quite easy to claim that when they know that they will never have their theory put to the test.

Guest mesa boogie Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 No two ways about it was crap. I suppose the amount of home games recently hasn't helped, the club should have really helped people out by doing a discounted game. Ah well...

Hicksy-BCFC Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I was there, stood next to Dr F. When I say stood next to he was down the other end of the stand but there wasn't anyone in between us.Well this morning, I finally got to catch up with the decorator at my parents place.I heard "semi finals" this and that and play offs talk all the other week etc etcLet's just say I have heard the phrases -"I left at 3-1""Didn't go down the other night, 'cos they ain't got no strikers. That Williams is crap, he won't score if we were still playing now"However the best recount he gave to me was in a pub on Gloucester Rd, a bloke he knows got knocked down in a scuffle.I said I didn't realise there was some scuffles with West Brom.He said there wasn't, there wasn't any WBA around so all the different groups in there from Soutmead, Lockleaze, Fishponds started on each other!!!!!Family club eh?
