Our Fans would want Our Club to do exactly the same :thumbright:



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

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 :thumbright:


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.

You're right Annis, we would want our club to do the same.

However, I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that they wouldn't do the same.

Can't remember the last time our club did anything to help our fans who travel to away games.

I've got this vague recollection that the club took issue with Karen Brady at Birmingham once although my memory isn't quite what it should be. Certainly wasn't a full blown appeal though.

No point in appealing to the EFL - its a Police decision and the EFL can't do anything about that. This is not a decision made by the club, and should not in any way affect our away allocation at Ashton Gate.

The so-called 'fans' (and I doubt they are regular fans) have brought it on themselves by regular outbreaks of public disorder when attending matches in Cardiff. It is because these incidents have affected the general public that their allocation has been reduced, rather than any incident at the ground. However, the fact that there were two large fireworks set off under their part of the Ninian stand last season did their cause no favours either.

If they don't improve this time I can see them being banned completely in future, or the old restrictions being put back in place.
