Ok so after the game for a while now I've noticed how British we have become and formed a queue at the bar on the left behind the Blackthorn. I'm not sure about it myself but hell if there is a queue forming I join it as a matter of course. So then when Mr clever bollocks decides he will go straight up to the bar and jump the queue he seems surprised to get stick from all of us queuing up. Ok yes it is unusual to queue but who thinks it's ok to ignore everyone else and go straight to the front - bloody selfish if you ask me.

Queues were non existent before the game was pleasantly surprised

You’ve obviously never come around the north Bristol ring road early in the morning, queueing to get through the Bromley Heath viaduct roadworks. All those cars driving down the left lane and then cutting in at the end. I mean, what do they think we are all waiting for

I'd like to see the system they use at the Theatre adopted. Preorder and pay for your drinks at the start, then they are lined up on a table in the interval or at the end. All very civilised, and a lovely way to end the show...smashing down a free one. 🍺 👍

Ive pretty much given up on half time beers now either it takes an age to get served or when I do the cards are down or the bouncer on the door won’t let me in I’d rather just chill out for 15 minutes until they sort them selves out and get some organisation going on. I made the same decision regarding food about 3 years ago and the stuff I’ve heard on here hasn’t made me think I’ve made a mistake. New food suppliers same old problems .

I never have a problem getting a pint at half time. Get yourself over!!!

I’d put the hand brake on and give them some choice words that would make them think twice about doing it again. Absolute lady gardens. 🤬

On this theme the slip road to join m32 at hambrook is the same - fair enough when the traffic is heavy but people who can't wait behind half a dozen cars pees me right off in the morning - bring back capital punishment!

That saves half the length of the tailback for a start easing unnecessary congestion further back up the road.

I don’t and have been refused entry many times because apparently it’s been too full in there. The bouncers on the door have let maybe a hundred people out whist maybe 30 wait outside and they still don’t let people in. That doesn’t add up it’s like saying we’ve f**ked up let too many in now we’ve let loads out but still wont let even a few back in. Crap organisation.

It’s 2 lanes until they become 1, so why all queue in 1 lane and then not let in the sensible people who see no need to to sit behind one another unnecessarily. It’s always baffled me.

If anybody pushes in before me or others, then l will always have a polite word. Who the **** do they think they are ?

To be fair it’s alwsys a bastard to get served at half time away wherever we go as well even at new stadia. Dunno if other home fans have the same problems we have because Rovers are the only side I follow.

Probably makes sense to use both lanes but is clearly signposted not to unless you are going left on the roundabout. People who cut in at the end ultimately delay those who follow the law and as such are lady gardens. What makes them so important they don't have to follow the rules and make a journey more stressful for those that do?

Personally I'd rather the usual free for all that bars offer but walking straight past a queue is out of order - do these people think they have diplomatic immunity to standing in line like everyone else?

We need bigger bars another reason for a new stadium with better facilities club must be losing money in the refreshment department

It’s 2 lanes until they become 1, so why all queue in 1 lane and then not let in the sensible people who see no need to to sit behind one another unnecessarily. It’s always baffled me. How about because the signs (TWO of them) clearly tell drivers to get in lane? There is only one lane around the roundabout so Why would you want to hold up drivers who are turning left? The queue rarely gets long enough to clog up the previous roundabout so that argument doesn’t hold up. From the opposite direction the road back to the M32 is much shorter and the junction can get blocked there is a sign that advises merge in turn. Getting back on topic, if the bar queue went through the door would you decide it’s acceptable to push to the front or would you be able to work out what others were respectfully doing?
