Bristol Derby Live on Sky

It has given me food for thought though.

I would be more than happy for him to be offered a pro contract by Rovers, I would shake his hand and congratulate him.

And then go live in shame in Papua new Guinea...

 

Being on TV is of no help to me the girl friend can't stand sky so won't have it at her house

 

I don't think either club will worry about lost revenue, as theres no way the first derby in 6 years won't be a sell out, despite it only being a JSP game. It's a brilliant thing that it's on the TV, as for the poor folk who are too old to get to games now like my grandad, and for the people like myself who are abroad regularly, its a chance for us to witness it live.

California is a magnificent place to live, but they don't have an Ashton Gate and Bristol City

 

Surely Horfield would be far enough away from most other Reds for you to hide your shame.

 

This game wont sell out.!

There will be lots of interest but it wont sell out, (unless the tickets are really well priced.!) despite all the noises from the blue few I don't think they will even sell their allocation.

 

That would be doubling my shame.

I would have to start riding my bike on the pavement. and dressing like a scrapyard dealer whilst walking my dog on a lead made of string whilst carrying a can of white lightning in the other hand. my Mrs is not too keen on wearing floral leggings and not bothering to wash her hair (or clothes) ever again either.

 

Well you could always move to the POSH bit down in Henleaze if it is still there that is.

just a few memories for those who remember the derby games

 

Rovers will sell out their tickets, we will sell around 13-15k i'm guessing so around the 16k mark for the game, not amazing really

 

It's probably a set fee going up per round. None of us would be arsed to watch the first round if it wasn't for who we are playing against. What attendance would we get if it was against say Wycombe? Not many I guess like the carling cup early rounds. Then it would be a greatly received fee.
Would you watch Northampton against Crawley?

 

I'm sorry but this match will be a massive anti climax..

 

Why you say that lanakins

 

JPT 1ST round, on sky. Hardly any local players, I don't know any rovers players the same as rovers don't know any city players, normally there's a gas player you despise, ian alexander in the 80's, steve Philips, lambert..

 

Anyone playing in blue and white will do, just pick your new one when they announce their team

 

I agree that it wont be a sell out by a good distance.

If it was an FA Cup tie it certainly would be sold out, but with it being broadcast on Sky as well, and a midweek game I reckon 14,500 - 15,000 ish

 

If this does not sellout Bristol football really is a joke,first proper Derby in seven years,this should be a sellout.

 

Cant see it being a sell out either. 17k I recon.

 

Further to my earlier post regarding this. The gas supporters club chairman shares my view.

Interesting to know that despite all the bluster they only sold less than 2k tickets last time and that was for an area final..
