Jesus wept, some people still haven't got over that.

 

[Ciderup]

Just saw it and thought it worth posting, that's all! I still think it was a shite reaction from Toffollo TBH but being 10 points clear and all that!

 

[BCFC David]

Ooh. I like that pic. Brings back that warm, tingly feeling.

Will you still have that feeling next season when your still in this God forsaken league?

 

[BCFC Jordan]

I'd just like to congratulate MK Dons in advance for their win this weekend.

Thanks mate, was a good game.

 

[JonBCFC]

It's started.

 

[Heisenberg20]

What game on Saturday? Thought Swindon already had the league wrapped up in November...

 

[Ciderup]

It's started.

At least they managed to finally sell their 900 tickets although it took them 3 WEEKS while we sold 3000 for the return fixture in 26 HOURS!

Don't know what league we'll be in next season - and by the way some of you lot are wobbling, neither do you.

Serious? I would of thought they'd sell them instantly! Very surprised about that.

Not wobbling Dan just City fans. We've had so many false dawns.

Three weeks is a bit of an exaggeration. But hey, let's not let good old facts get in the way of a chance to belittle Swindon.

To add Insult to injury Rovers would have sold out in 10 seconds with 200,000 'prowed' gasheads going without

That's what I read Mike and I'm only taking the mick anyway!

Luongo and Kasim go to bed at night wishing that they were half the player Dele Alli is, and for this reason, MK will be taking home the points.

Thompson will be left in tears at the end of the season, waving off his brother as he departs for Norwich.

 

[This Charming Mike]

Tickets went on sale on March 23rd to those with 350+ loyalty points only. The next day, those with 320+ were allowed to buy them. They didn't go on general sale until March 30th. Strange way of doing things but surely you can understand why they took so long to sell out?

Of course I can. Any excuse to take the piss though!

So basically what you're saying is... You don't have many loyal fans

The loyalty system is strange. From what I understand, you don't get many points for buying a season ticket (and committing to 23 home games) but you get lots of points for away games.

I don't think the game being on TV/the kick-off time helped sales either.

I don't think the TV came into it to be fair mate, there's a lot of rivalry and a lot of people would want to go for the atmosphere alone. Genuinely surprised it went to general sale (although I don't know how your loyalt points system works)

The season ticket holders in my family all decided against going because the game is on TV. I don't think they'll be alone in that either.

 

[Krazy8]

Oooohh we're off and running I see. This should be enjoyable

 

[Ciderup]

How many ST holders have you got Mike / Swindon fans as a loyalty system seems a bit OTT WTGR? ST holders / members / forever Bristol membership seems to work quite well for us and we're not far off 10K ST holders IIRC. The pesky rugby ST holders can jump the queue for City and vice versa but it works pretty well without a loyalty system.

This is just friendly banter K8, wait until after Friday!!

They were on sale for a week with the first 4 days to people with a ridiculous amount of loyalty points only 40 tickets made it to general sale but hey let's not let the truth get in the way of a good old cider fueled urban myth on otib next you will be telling us you have won 5 league titles since 1950 something and that you have not gone bust

Cider on a school night? No chance!

Around 4,500 I think. Think the loyalty system is largely in place to reward people who regularly go to away games but I too find it a bit redundant in League 1.
