UPDATED:SOLD OUT: "BRISTOL CITY CHALLENGE ALLOCATION"

' UPDATED '


Our Fans would want Our Club to do exactly the same



The away allocation for the Robins was reduced by 50% due to evidence produced by South Wales Police to 1,481.

Wednesday 7th February 2018

Bristol City are challenging the ticket reduction that followed an SAG meeting, the club have appealed to the EFL.

Bristol City sold their 1,481 tickets in just one day


The two sides met back in early November where City just edged the Bluebirds. Defender Aden Flint headed in the winner at Ashton Gate, in a feisty game where Omar Bogle received a straight red card.

The Robins currently sit sixth in the Sky Bet Championship, while Neil Warnock's side are fourth and three points ahead of Lee Johnson's outfit.








SOLD OUT 1,481 tickets by Bristol City in first day.





I honestly Don't think it was fair to Reduce their Allocation


By reducing Bristol City's allocation, If we play them next season I can see it then happening to us at their place.

There has been no major disturbances and its a 12pm on a Sunday, so no pubs etc then.


Lets be honest Bristol City are not that much trouble and are not even known for it.

BRISTOL CITY RECEIVE LIMITED CARDIFF ALLOCATION

City have been allocated just 1,481 tickets for the Severnside derby fixture at Cardiff City.


The Sky Bet Championship fixture will be played at the Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday, February 25th (12noon kick-off).

A club spokesman said: “The decision to reduce the ticket allocation was as a result of request from South Wales Police to hold an extraordinary SAG Meeting.

“In that meeting they produced evidence of recent disorder and asked for our allocation to be cut by 50 per cent.

“The result of this was 1,481 tickets being allocated, albeit without any restrictions placed on the travel of our fans.

“The club is extremely disappointed with the actions to date and believe it unfairly disadvantages our supporters and also our club for a key fixture.

“We will continue to challenge this legally, working with the EFL, Football Safety Officers Association and Sports Grounds Safety Authority, in a bid to receive more tickets for our supporters.”


Subsequently, with the game not being shown on Sky Sports, the club has requested a beamback. This will take place in the Sports Bar & Pizzeria at Ashton Gate, with full details to follow.

havent they been guilty of smashing up some town centre pubs recently?

havent they been guilty of smashing up some town centre pubs recently?

They have and that's why its reduced

Totally agree,
It's an abuse of power and making the majority suffer for
the actions of the few. We had years of unfair treatment from clubs and authorities and we all felt that we were being victimised, so if any group of supporters should be standing against this type of sanction against other clubs then it should be us. They may be rivals, but they are also fellow football fans.

Killing the game off slowly, the authorities going to far

Blame swp they're the ones doing this! The problem is cost? outside stadium is police responsibility and they incure the cost inside its club who pays costs? They obviously don't want to control fans anymore either.

Sorry, I have to disagree. Over the past few seasons they have been allowed full allocation and travel by train, car etc.. and have caused some sort of disturbance on every occasion. whether it be, punching a steward, rearranging furniture in the great western, causing havoc in the police escort on the way back to the train station and pilling into the Ivor Davies early afternoon to give it large.

On every occasion it has been our away following that has had to suffer the consequences in the reverse fixture with tighter restrictions on travel (barring this season of cause). It's about time they had a taste of what we have had to put up with.

In all fairness it didn't help that little scuffle at their place being recorded and broadcast all over social media.

Violence at football is dead and until people realise this, this type of restriction will continue.

Any STH+ holders that plan on going to Cardiff half of the allocation has gone in the first ten minutes so I'd advise taking a look for anyone that's forgotten they've gone on sale.

Shame because the atmosphere suffers. I have great banter with Bristol City supporters I know.

I agree, few kids have a fight with some tables and chairs and the rest suffer. 3,000 would only add to the atmosphere.

Possibly stems from the recent Bristol City fans taking legal action against West Midlands Police, South Wales Police getting their own back by saying there you go we can play that game aswell.

They were throwing fireworks under the stand last year,i olf guy had a heart attack coz of it ffs not surprised tbey had reduce allocations

Its a shame from the point of the Cardiff City coffers and it'll be a shame from the point of view of the atmosphere. Its right that the police make the independent decision on these issues but they shouldn't abuse that position by taking draconian actions over minimal disturbances. I'm not saying that's the case here but we know only too well having been in a similar position in numerous occasions not all of them deserved. Have they considered an airship ?

They hospitalised a steward last time; let off flares in the concourse; threw beer containers around in the concourse; smashed up a pub and let off a smoke bomb in it ... maybe they'll think twice in the future about such behaviour.

Their bunch of window-lickers are acting up now ..... about 20 years too late!

Violence at football dead?. Why do we have to be herded into a steel pen Friday night at millwall then?.

They should look on the bright side - with the money they will save by not travelling, they could buy extra carrots.

I did go on to say that's not the case here. Looking back on our treatment though, The reciprocal banning and subsequent bubbles with Swansea totally justified. The bubble to Stoke probably justified. The bubbles to Leeds were harsh but probably right for the time. The banning for Wolves was grossly unfair and so were a number of other bubbles and ticket collections.

If the trouble is outside of the ground, and no where near it - what has tickets got to do with it ?

They can come and smash the pubs up without a ticket !

Just use the bubble system.

They have half the allocation but no restrictions, what's the issue?

I dont fancy their chances in the Canton or Ninian stand tbh

They haven't helped themselves in recent years. I really don't know whether to laugh or cry when it comes to the Worzels. If they didn't exist, we'd have to invent them. A sort of West Country version of Crystal Palace. A pity, because all the Bristol City fans I have met have been okay individually.

no sympathy from me, every time they've visited in the last few years with no restrictions a core of their fans have caused trouble even without opposing fans around they've damaged pubs.
If they want to blame anyone they can look at their own fans who again when we were over there recently were hunting Cardiff fans.

Get your own house in order then you can have your full allocation.

No sympathy from me either. For their horrible little club it's a big day out (and anyone who lives in that hell hole of a place uses every opportunity to get away from there) against massive Cardiff City and they get a little overly excited like kids on a school trip. Personally I wouldn't give their brain dead moron fans one single ticket

They’ve been getting braver over the tears.
Not sure a reduced allocation will make any difference 12 noon and on a Sunday tho

Sod em if they can't behave !!!

It gives us additional home advantage too

They should look on the bright side - with the money they will save by not travelling, they could buy extra carrots.

To shove up their arses

The biggest pain in the arse is the 12 noon Sunday kick off.
That will take the edge off the game and also reduce the home crowd with no compensating tv revenue.So CCFC are disadvantaged big time.
I know it was early kick off at their place but at least it was a Saturday and the impact was not so bad.
They can bleat as much as they like but as far as I am concerned reducing their support- not that this was the intention I'm sure- will help a bit in terms of restoring home advantage.

Just imagine what would have happened over there with our allocations if over the last few seasons the lads had attacked coppers and a steward etc etc.

Personally would prefer a 3 o clock on Saturday with a full crowd though.

I agree with the OP overall but it has to be said the Bristol City's immature fans have brought it on themselves!

Not too sure that reducing the number of fans in attendance is a practical solution other than to save money in policing costs when they should be confident enough of 'controlling' the away fans!

Arrest or a return ticket to Bristol on an earlier train should do the trick for any misdemeanour!

Well they sold out immediately

Its a shame from the point of the Cardiff City coffers and it'll be a shame from the point of view of the atmosphere. Its right that the police make the independent decision on these issues but they shouldn't abuse that position by taking draconian actions over minimal Sdisturbances. I'm not saying that's the case here but we know only too well having been in a similar position in numerous occasions not all of them deserved. Have they considered an airship ?

summed it up perfectly. I'm all for a bit of banter but they have taken the piss over the last few years. They are so hard smashing a pub up that was full of shit heads, going into an empty pub in Camton and giving it large and beating a steward up. I work over there and they are all mouth so get what they deserve
