Guest iain837 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I'm Iain I'm from Glastonbury 53. I have lived in Somerset since 2001, I am from Lancashire. I decided to make Bristol city my team, 4 seasons ago, I followed Everton as that was my local team but being in Somerset I don't get up to Lancashire that often and I have been to Aston gate more then I ever went to goodison. I try to get to Aston gate as often as I can but due to work I can't get to every game, I did contemplate get a season ticket but as work gets in the way it wouldn't be cost effective. I am going to the first home game of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semblar Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Welcome It might be worth you exploring the membership option - it costs £25 but saves you £5 per ticket so if you can make more than 5 matches in the season you should be better off link to city membership page Edited August 1, 2022 by semblar add link 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Good to see a new poster on our otib forum. A few pointers 1) Share your views openly and don’t worry about posting anything controversial - but expect some flack if you do. 2) get to as many games at AG as you can. That way you’ll get to know the players which makes slagging them off easier! The membership option is an excellent suggestion as well. 3) change the Everton blue shirt in your picture to a red City one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Geoff Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 As you are probably aware there have been several links between City and Everton over the years, notably Joe Royle, John Bailey and errrr Gary Stanley. If you haven't listened to it then the FBC podcast interview with Joe Royle from a couple of months ago is well worth seeking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve moved stands now and the PA system in the Lansdown is perfectly fine. Hahaha. Did the same! Not because of the PA, but my old man is getting on in years and found the trek up the Dolman steps a major challenge, so I am also in the Lansdown. The PA works.
