State the fucking obvious.

 

[Football Purist]

State the fucking obvious.

Given the same levels of success who is bigger? City82 or Gas?
And how is the campaign to kick the rugby out of Ashton Gate progressing?

Sorry but I'm just sick of all this Billy big bollocks coming from your lot recently.

Disgraceful what's happened at Ashton Gate...moving the rugby in there,etc.
Sooner they force that owner fella out the better.
The Blue half of Bristol must be lapping it up.

Lapping it up that there rivals are in the playoff spots in the championship while there mid table in league one I bet there over the fucking moon.

 

[JJH]

Pompey didn't sell out Wembley either for an fa cup semi final so that's that argument fucked

Your memory is very good.

I'm sure the Gas fans are quite content being mid-way in Div3 and playing in their own ground with no rugby in sight when just a few months back they were struggling to get out of non-league.

Who gives a fuck if your local rugby team play at your ground. Fair enough if your coventry I'm sure a lot of city fans go and watch bristol play rugby.

 

[Jamo]

Here it is. At long last. The away table, in the same format as I did for League One the past two seasons.

Before I post it and be damned, yes, I know the averages for a lot of teams will be inaccurate as some shithouse clubs (I'm mainly looking at Villa and Burton here) haven't given out half of the away attendances at their grounds this season. And Brighton, if they've done the same with other clubs as they did with us, aren't giving out figures including POTD fans. And I thought League One was bad . . .

Anyway, here it is. If anyone's got ANY of the missing away figures (marked as NC in the table) they'd be greatly appreciated. Figures in red are for midweek games. I'm sure I'll be informed of any inaccuracies for figures already entered.

It's unlikely I'll be able to update this on a weekly basis as I did last season for the League One forum as I always seem to be busy these days, but I'll do my best to update as often as possible.

The blokes a clown. Spouts the same shit every few months.

The Mem's a rugby ground. It's not their own ground. Look up what happened to Twerton.

 

[villa loyal]

That chart confirms we are massive. Always knew we were but I needed reassuring

Correction: The Mem WAS a rugger ground but it's now the property of the Gasheads and the egg-chasers have had to fuck off.
Sad thing for City82 is that they've moved into Ashton Gate so City82 now have to share their gaff.
Not sure what Twerton's gotta do with it.

Massive or not,if you don't buck up you'll be back in the third.

Well right now, it could mate. Look at the table and it doesn't look good, our record of 3 wins in 792 games says it all. It shouldn't, but it could.

You'll be fine, Bruce (I'm presuming) will settle on an 11 and you'll put a run together and challenge at the top end.

RDM trying to cram 4/5 strikers into a system was a disaster and he deserved the bullet, but you'll get it right eventually.

it could though. It's doubtful, but if we don't get our act together soon we could be on for a hard season.

I don't deny that, see the 'October' thread for some rare optimism on my part! But the fact is, if things don't improve, we're in a very precarious position.

 

[Trebor68]

I would be amazed if we went down this season. As previously stated, when we have a manager, probably Bruce, who actually plays a system that works in this division i.e. don't get overrun in midfield, we have the squad to at least challenge for play-offs.
Looking like we may sell out at Reading, a new manager and a good result on Saturday should do it.

 

[JJH]

Further allocation been shifted for the Cardiff game, one more to come which will take the total to the capacity 2,200.

Wank allication.They could easily give more.Not sure you'd sell any more,mind.

Perfectly fine allocation then isn't it. Nobody sells out at cardiff anyway

Not on a Friday on Sky we wouldn't, would be good to have 5k+ allocation if needed on a Saturday though.

No idea if Brentford, Reading, QPR, Brum or Wolves usually sell out Cardiff though. Villa will, obviously, but the usual teams at this level don't even need 2k.

 

[Madejski]

We used to take more to Ninian despite smaller allocation as a far better stadium. Barely take over 1k maximum at their new ground.

 

[El Guapo]

We sold out Cardiff last season, think we was the only club that did.

in the prem we took the smaller allocation of 2200 for a midweek game on tv.
