He also said Fulham will go strong as they've had so few games recently. I know a few fans who said they weren't going but have now bought tickets. I'm pretty confident the Gate will be 8000 plus come kick off. I don’t think we are in a position where we should pass up the chance of earning some money from a cup run. That’s not to say I think Fulham won’t be a tough game, but I’d like us to give it a real go. Money spinning 4th round tie??? 10 minutes ago, ExiledAjax said: Is Gregor still asking questions?

wendyredredrobin Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 3 adults here not prepared to pay £20 each for a game neither team will be that bothered about. £10 each and we would be going and probably spending another £10 each on food and drink, so BCFC lose £60 here. I doubt there will be more than 8k going tomorrow. The only channel broadcasting is ESPN as far as I can tell, so I guess we will be able to find a stream somewhere - I do hate their commentary though. their commentators seem to know bugger all about football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve made the point before but as a member I can pay the same price for a league game, and my member son only pays a fiver.

Always red Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 At the prices the club is charging and kick off time I'll be giving it a miss and going to my local non league team Clevedon Town Can be a good reality check for fans of bigger clubs to go and see their local non league team. They all struggle financially but are invariably friendly and the standard of football and facilities can be excellent. Want the city to win but cannot motivate myself at those prices.

Reckon Palmer, DaSilva, Bents and Wells could all be in with a chance of a start - assuming no interest has been expressed from other Clubs in them. Would be interesting to see how they preform. We want a Cup run financially, so it’s not a dead rubber, even though the League is more important. Arguably, their inclusion should strengthen us - on paper at least.

underover Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I realistically am far too busy to go anyway but the price put me off too, my man utd season ticket holding family told me that for ST holders they don’t pay more than the pro-rata price for any other domestic game for cup games, or at least not early round ones anyway.

The selection will tell us an awful lot about where we are going with Nige player-wise. Just seen this on Bristol Live. Why not play all three. Nahki, Weimann and Martin and see what happens. Attack Which brings up nicely into the main area for debate: who out of Chris Martin, Andi Weimann and Nahki Wells will get the nod? All have strong cases for inclusion but there are only two spots available with Pearson wanting a pair in the final third. To go through each combination: Martin and Weimann has been the manager’s go-to options with the former’s physical presence, aerial strength and touch play and the Austrian running in behind; it’s clear there’s an established chemistry there and they’re the obvious pick, having also started against QPR. Martin and Wells offers a similar dynamic, with the latter also probably the best finisher at the club, but that means taking Weimann out of the starting XI which doesn’t seems a realistic option right now, given how hard he works on and off the ball.

Olé Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 16 hours ago, MattWSM said: Is this on Robins TV? Everyone talking about dodgy streams and proxies - the game is being streamed free on most of the big betting sites or apps. When you hear moved for international TV these days in the FA Cup it just means the betting industry hoovered up all the remaining games so long as by law they don't kick off at 3pm. As an example livevideo.betfair.com I do not encourage gambling (everyone else in football already has that covered) but personally if I do use any of these sites I use the Betfair exchange so that I know I'm at least up against other people. If you use any of these sites today bear in mind they may require a small deposit I.e. £5 to watch the stream but you can bet that on a stone cold certainty for example Joey Barton completing the double. City game moved to 1230 so international fans gamblers can watch. This is modern football for you. P.S. if this has been any help for you consider using this link to signup to Betfair and whatever blood money they give me for referring you I will collect and donate to Help Bristol's Homeless: https://promos.betfair.com/choose-your-refer-and-earn-offer?referrerCode=UJNTQNKQM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
