Good numbers that especially considering some would have been down these neck of the woods on Saturday for the Chippenham game.

Dumb question but I ordered with some of the away games two months ago. Where would my ticket be? No ticket sent, no e-ticket sent in the confirmation email. Is it just added to my season card?? 

Should be attached to an email receipt. On my phone now as a PDF so hope it scans at the turnstile.

It was and certainly the dugout was not a place for claustrophobics, I was there one night when some idiot let off a tear gas grenade surprised no one was killed in the crush is it still going would be surprised if it was health and safety today would have kittens. 

Was in the dug out when the IRA blew out the front of Maggs department store, about 400 yards away. Didn't hear a thing above the base playing in the club!

Did you put it in the washing machine or send it to the dry cleaners?

Oop North tonight, in, ironically, Lincoln. Very nice it is too although it's proper cold.

COYR.

Under 21 win 5-0 this afternoon against Watford hoping for same tonight for the fans that can be bothered to go COYR 

Did you go to the U21s game? Can't be a true fan if you didn't.

Fucknugget indeed….I don’t get all this if you don’t go to every single game your not a true fan..

Every time we get games like this, against so called lesser opposition, these type of posts normally come out the woodwork. 
 

If you go, you go….if you don’t then so what we live in incredibly tough times.

I generally find myself feeling a bit sorry for those sort of posters, who clearly have so little else going on in their lives that they can’t comprehend anyone having anything else going on that competes with football.

As a member I always pick and choose my games, because I’m a fair distance away, both my wife and I work full time, and we’ve got two kids with their own busy schedules. If that means I’m not a fan then so be it.

I do have some sympathy for the OP. 

I am reminded of the 2017/18 EFL Cup run. Round 1 against Plymouth at home we saw a crowd of 9,300. Round 3 at home to Stoke, 13,000, Round 4 was Palace at home and we attracted 21,000. Of course the game following that was Manchester Utd at home and we saw a sell out crowd of just over 26,000 for which the club had to implement a special ticketing waterfall due to the demand.

There was no priority ticket sale for the Man Utd game for those who had attended the Plymouth game.

I don't think that not attending that Plymouth game, or this game tonight means you "aren't a fan", but I also do understand resentment from those that do attend, as we all know that should we progress and draw a "big" club, suddenly an extra 18,000 fans will pop up at AG.

Perhaps away fans would be within their rights to chant "Where were you when the opposition were objectively less attractive"?

PS @Magger1 my own poor excuse for not attending this evening is that I live 3.5 hours drive from AG. I'm sorry. For my sins I did go to the Round 1 game away at Burton to see Coventry, so please accept that as my penance.

Personally I think the membership scheme adequately serves that purpose. The ticket sales process for the United game gave first priority to STH, then members who had been to (something like) 5+ games, then remaining members, then general sale. I think that was pretty fair.

Great opportunity to get to round 4 and get some much needed revenue if we get a good draw. Loved it when we got to the semifinals a few years ago. I’m going tonight but totally understand people giving it a swerve. Just the traffic alone around South Bristol is enough. COYR

Hmm, wishful thinking....

I’ll be happy to say “I was there when Joe Low made his full-debut”…maybe the odd one or two more too.

Certainly won’t forget it for a long while 

[cidercity1987]

No traffic 

Easy parking

No queue for drinks

Mobile data at half time mind

My kind of football

Bring on League One

[pongo88]

The ones who stayed away made the correct decision 

[Pezo]

I don’t buy anything unless I can justify the cost to myself.

[W-S-M Seagull]

Hope you stayed til the end, like a true fan.

 is it still going would be surprised if it was

Sadly the Dug Out closed down in the 80s when the old bill opposed the licence renewal. I think it became a restaurant for a while.

Was a brilliant place for a night out if you were a teenager back then, epitomising Bristol's ****-you nonconformity. Punks and rastas and The Wild Bunch.

I didn't go this evening btw, as life's too busy and sometimes there are not enough hours in the day.

[Northern Red]

I assume the "real fans" there tonight were the ones booing a kid on his debut for making a howler?

I was there and don’t think this happened. A wayward pass got booed but could have been anyone

Genuinely don’t think that happened. There were various boos, directed at the team generally or particular passage of poor play, but there was nothing directed at one specific individual as far as I was aware.

Thoroughly pissed off.

Well, apart from about 250 people who had come from the east.

Oh, no. Not in 1980 they weren't

They were excellent.

Sunday Bloody Sunday was by far there best song .

where are all the city fans ? 

the so say city fans who haven’t got a ticket yet can still buy a ticket up till 15 minutes after kick off 

what is the excuse for not going ? Wet  night are you a fan or not ? I love these games because we see true fans not the moaning whinging turn ups but true supporters COYR 

Must admit was undecided until seeing this yesterday which motivated me to go.

As it happens I enjoyed the game, as poor as we were first half I thought Lincoln very good, second half we created a lot and the stats show we could easily have drawn or even won.

But as for so called true fans, booing after a few minutes, booing a kid making his debut, booing at half time, booing periodically throughout.
