    I'll go for a cheeky 0-1 away win - what else would you expect ? I can see us having a defensive set up, after shipping too many goals recently and will catch you out against the run of play.

    Hope you don’t do a Burton Or Millwall and park the bus.
    I’m sure leeds will attack and should make for a cracking game.
    3-1 city if you play football :1980_boogie_down:

    Yep that's why I think we should park the bus. Will TC do that well obviously I don't know but if he has any sense a boring away win will do nicely at the moment :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Don't see us losing this one, extend our unbeaten run to 13 games sounds good too

    No we don't - the best we would do is probably have a little more steel in defence, Dallas instead of Hernandez, Vieira instead of Phillips, perhaps but we will try and play football for sure. If we get an early goal this could increase confidence, which appears low at the moment, and there could be a good game, hopefully that we win. On the other hand you score early and the anxieties of a couple of recent defeats will resurface.

    Interesting comment and i reckon they would sell them

    My comment over on their board

    Should be a good game, if you come and play football,if you do a Burton, or Millwall and park the bus then it will be a dull affair.
    i expect goals in this game with us winning by two.
    By the way it will be the biggest crowd to date in the revamped Ashton Gate tickets so far are at 24000,only 3500 left.



    Leeds fans comment below-
    We could have sold your 3,500 that you have left,we sold ours ages ago.


    Personally reckon they could,plus the Atyeo stand holds 4200,why have we only given them 3500,the more money that comes in the better i say.

    I'm sure the safety fanatics will be the reason. Why build a stadium that holds X amount of people and then limit the attendance - DUH?

    Wouldn't you want to think that City would want to do everything in their power to fill the place at every chance? What's the point of building it and not inviting the crowd it was designed to hold - daft I call it!

    Would it not occur to you that there is probably a reason for it?
    They want the club to be sustainable so they would do everything they can.

    Does seem daft , we have a 27,500 capacity stadium but can't fill it. I get we have to listen to health & Safety issues but as others have said what build a stadium and not be allowed to fill it .... very strange.

    It’s the away end people are talking about, but I’ve just read is 3,900 or 3,700 tickets sold not 3,500 as reported by RR. So three different reports to go on.
    But the capacity in the Atyeo is reduced by 10% as it’s assumed the away fans will stand like they do in the singing section in the South stand.
    Just read all this on OTIB..

    Three blocks not opened in upper Lansdown, because the others blocks are still on sale.

    So saying to the club “bloody fill it I say” short of seriously reducing cost or hijacking fans from somewhere. It’s the fans that are not turning up not the clubs.
    I think it will maybe be 25k

    I'd be almost certain that any capacity restrictions are not self-imposed and are instead imposed by Avon and Somerset... I think it's generally well known that they fleece both Bristol clubs in terms of expenditure and unnecessary control.

    100% spot on Rob,why another 700 Leeds fans cannot be accommodated in the away end is ridiculous.

    Our stands it's down to the fans to buy the seats,not sure what city have to do to fill them,the best football for very long time.A joy going down the gate at present.

    I'm sure it doesn't help that the club dictate where they want people to sit by opening only sections of upper lansdown when the previous ones are full, they don't take this approach with any other section of the ground . People want to choose where they want to sit , I don't understand what they intend to achieve by taking this approach.
