I'm not sure this actually means it's entirely sold out. I think they mark a block as unavailable online when it only has a few left in it. I've been able to buy tickets in a block marked as unavailable before.

Unlikely the club would say they are though if some were still available.

Not on Sky. Got moved because rugby is at home tomorrow.
Wonder if Louise grew up to be a glass half full or half empty sort of person.There's also Bristol Blue glass and the Harvey's sherry brand, John Cabot's ship (the Matthew) and his tower - he discovered Newfoundland, Brunel's SS Great Britain (the first ever iron-hulled passenger liner), Casualty was filmed there, King Edward II was tortured to death there in 1327 (in a VERY unpleasant way indeed)
The first Test Tube Baby in the world, Louise Brown, was born in Bristol - Mrs R&W used to teach her - Louise went to the school she worked in.
In the churchyard of St Mary's Redcliffe (huge church with a spire about 200 yards from Temple Meads station) there is a piece of metal girder sticking out of the ground. It is a piece of tramline which ended up there when the tramline took a hit from a German bomb during the war and has been left as a memorial to the blitz.
Concord was mentioned, but there is also the Bristol-branded military aircraft (Blenheim, Beaufighter, Bulldog (WW1)) plus commercial planes; Britannia and the Brabazon. The Rolls-Royce and British Aerospace factories are still there - although I believe they only produce component parts today, rather than whole aircraft. My old dad and grandad worked in Rolls Royce factory in Filton.
There was also the (very) niche Bristol car manufacturer which was an off-spin of the aircraft works. It made very expensive cars until it sadly folded in 2020.
Now the bad stuff:
Bristol was strongly linked to the slave trade and the very regal Clifton area, with its huge Georgian mansions, was built mainly from money gained from that vile trade. Until recently there was a statue to Edward Colston in the city centre, but that was controvertially toppled and thrown into the river recently by BLM 'protesters' and their supporters, due to his links with slavery from which he made his fortune. He invested a lot of his money in the city, gifting the people the Colston Hall (now renamed the Bristol Beacon) and other public buildings with his dirty money.
Until recently (early 2000s?) Bristol was reputed to have the worst traffic congestion of any city in Europe. They got rid of the trams in the 1940s - the blitz caused too much damage and they didn't bother rebuilding the tramways.
... and worst of all, Bristol is the largest city in England NEVER to have had a football team in the top tier of English football since the formation of the Premier League. Lets see if we can change that - before I shuffle off please

I doubt Bristol will have sold their full allocation for a Fri night game, but big
to the ones who travel.
It isn't on red button. Maybe because it started life as a Saturday game, then get moved because of FC it never got into Sky's planning?
700 plus last I heard. Fair play to them on a Friday night. 460 miles round trip.I doubt Bristol will have sold their full allocation for a Fri night game, but big
Audio or video? Because they posted the match pack yesterday saying it wouldn’t be available on Tigers+
Not available for video in UK. You can VPN it though
Oh no
I seem to have slotted some more drinking in between my previously diarised drinking!
Pizza oven is fired up and I’m in charge of it…which means I’m drinking in between the golf club bar and the first pub visit.
Not my fault though…
