old_eastender Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) If Man City are on it we could easily be slaughtered like the Woman were against them, 0-6 & 1-8 in their two cup games this season. I'm hoping that's not the case and we can stay in the game for at least an hour, but to do that every player on our side is going to have to be at the top of their game.

ashton_fan Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Fortunately I won't be using public transport today but looking at the last bus/train times it looks a bit tight if it went to extra time/penalties, in that case game might not finish until 22.45, last bus for park&ride is 23.30 and train 22.54, I wonder if they realise there won't be a replay if the match is tied? Also they're asking people getting the bus to wait 45 mins before leaving the ground if poss so everyone doesn't arrive at once! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the anniversary shirt I could see there was an effort to pay homage to our past, and the current kit harks back to a great period. You do things like that when you “get” fans. But this? If we’d sold out and 1/3 of the tickets had hit general sale I’d be - not fine - but understanding of it as we would have had a lot of day trippers. Fact is that we sold out through ST holders and members - overwhelmingly people who come to see BRISTOL City. And any BCFC fan, or passionate fan of any club, has no time for these abominations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
