infoman Posted 11 February 2010 Author Posted 11 February 2010 I'll take it as banter,everything goes over me head any way. See you on tuesday.
sbfox Posted 11 February 2010 Posted 11 February 2010 I'll take it as banter,everything goes over me head any way.See you on tuesday. What's your avg attendance for a Tues night game/what're you expecting? Do you still sell tickets for home fans in the Eastend, or is it still an issue with your club? Where do the most vocal home fans sit? To the right of us in the Eastend, or the corner of the Williams stand?
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 11 February 2010 Posted 11 February 2010 What's your avg attendance for a Tues night game/what're you expecting? Do you still sell tickets for home fans in the Eastend, or is it still an issue with your club? Where do the most vocal home fans sit? To the right of us in the Eastend, or the corner of the Williams stand? Williams stand - no thats the posh seats. You have the young un's that tend to sit in the Atteo stand which is the opposite end, and you have you're older hard core that tend to sit in the top left (furthest away again) of the Dolman Stand. You'll get the odd few fans that will try and give abuse to the away fans in the wings of the Dolman/Williams. Doubt they'd bother letting fans in next to the away end due to the expected turn out - if there was 20,000 maybe. Attendence would be a bit unknown really as last time City played on Tuesday Night at home they lost 6-0. I would guess this one will be a low turn out (especially with the Utd game on, and half of Bristol supports them) of around 12,000. What the rest of guy said was pretty spot on - but he's nicked my job as a Leicester fan in Bristol.

Is that knocking shop in St Werberghs open on a Tuesday night and is it still half a crown for the works
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 11 February 2010 Posted 11 February 2010 Is that knocking shop in St Werberghs open on a Tuesday night and is it still half a crown for the works Yes, but don't expect to get any Canabis in Bristol at the moment, the men in blue have just made two big raids. Apparently, they found one of the hauls in a house, because a helicopter with heat seaking equipment was picking up tempatures from this house akin to it being on fire - it was only the bloody lamps!
Sir Fynwy Posted 12 February 2010 Posted 12 February 2010 Also please don't park on Luckwell Road, my brother gets really pissed off when he can't park outside his house!

Police helos regularly scan estates at night with their infra red cameras for hot spots.

DJ Barry Hammond Posted 12 February 2010 Posted 12 February 2010 ill be there! but i guess thats not saying much seeing i live in bristol...... There's a couple of us who live in Bristol - I went to Holloway's first game in charge at the gate, and while in the queue for a half time bovril I asked the fan behind me how we were doing compared to earlier in the season - he laughed and said, not a clue, I'm from Bristol. It wasn't you was it?
Head Honcho Posted 12 February 2010 Posted 12 February 2010 Ticket bought today so early start on the cards.
