Bristol City (h) pre-match thread

Realistically not everyone can afford to go to all the cup games and add to that the problems getting to and from the ground especially after night games.
Personally I can't wait to see us play again...but then again I'm lucky in the respect my kids are grown up and I live locally but still it's a pain getting back to Ashton on the fucking tram.
Hopefully people might buy tickets today and boost the attendance but who gives a fuck how many are there as long as we win.
Being relocated from SS3 to SS1 at least makes it easier to get out of the ground...always a bonus lol

I honestly would rather walk to Ashton or pay £20 for a taxi than get on that tram. When I walk to my car and see everyone rammed in the carriages, I couldnt think of anything worse.

Can we create an excuse list? so that we can then apply for a final ticket (should we be successful) without ringing a Leper Bell?

I am in Munich for tomorrow's game..... hopefully I can get a pass to apply for the final

Play strongest team after sixty minutes take three off and if we have a good win play reserves at their place in other words make the second leg an irrelevance.

If I could walk that far I would.. definitely be quicker and less stressful...can't really afford taxis so it's the tram or miss the game...ain't missing the game.
If trams were double units and extra trams put on then more fans might use them and make attendances bigger for night games in the cup.

Why change the price from 10-15£ on a Saturday to 20-25£ on a Tuesday night . I have said before there is not a queue for my seat if I cannot afford a match , there will be one day but not yet, so keep it cheap until then !!!

The game tomorrow should be a sellout but won't be, and we could of sold out this game had the price been reduced enough to entice hard up supporters still suffering the expense of Christmas.

If Manuel was still at the helm, then yes, i'd expect wenger-esque rotation. However, we have Pep, a born winner, a man obsessed about winning. He won't give the slightest shite about the dippers coming up. I expect a similar line up to the Burnley game.

Tickets £15-£20. Truth is it's not selling fast because of the opposition, the fact its a first leg. just had a cup game and it's a night game just as everyone gets back to work and school after Christmas. If it had been a second leg against premier league opposition in 2 weeks it would have sold much better even at £25.

Anyway how are we looking crowd wise?

I posted elsewhere that I thought he'd rotate significantly.

But reading your post, you know I think you may be right. Pep is such a competitive, born winner, I wouldn't be surprised if he's thinking about trying to do the quadruple. Just imagine if he was to pull that off - something never before achieved in English football (as far as I am aware). He's hardly likely to risk throwing the FA Cup whilst that goal is still achievable.
