Bristol City (h) pre-match thread

[our tommy]

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.

Absolutely spot on.

On the VAR question - it is not that there are going to be cameras at Bristol as well as tomorrow. It is that the small ground does not have enough camera position sites for the VAR system to work properly. It needs to show all events from multiple angles to work correctly.

As the two legs are considered basically two halves of one tie they decided they had to cover both with VAR or neither.

Can see a strong starting line up for this one. Plenty of recovery time for Sunday's showdown with the dippers and hopefully put the tie to bed in the first leg. Can see a spirited performance from Bristol but the gulf in quality will be too great.

Think Pep will stick with a similar side to previous rounds and for me that still gives us enough to beat them. Id hope the likes of KDB, Silva, Sterling and a few others get a rest. Even tempted to rest Kun.

Will Pep do a press conference for this one?

 

[If I die in the Kippax St]

I couldn't care less about the crowd so long as we smash them and attending home games is a 300 mile round trip for me but I cant make tomorrow due to work commitments. One thing I have observed this season is a significant number of tourist fans who are easy to spot with these stupid half and half scarves. I suspect that these individuals will not be there tomorrow night but would have been had we been playing scum or bin dippers. I'm not knocking the tourists as they pay money into our club but I would sooner have 40k diehards than a bunch of glory hunters, but thats what sucess breeds.

I hope everyone in the ground tomorrow that wants a final ticket, should we qualify, gets one. Tourist or not.

If you play a near full team and we can keep it to a two goals or less loss we will be happy.

If you play the side you played against Wolves I would hope we could at least get a draw (as a second string Wolves did)

Our chances of going through over two legs are probably 100/1 so Sky’s odds of 10/1 aren’t worth bothering with. Taken a punt of 33/1 on Bryan scoring first though :)

Strange, the ground is as big as Brighton which has it for tonight’s game?
