It's so that they can accommodate more home fans - away fans have to be given the option of 10% of ground capicity. Not a great outcome for you though. I know the reason, but why should day trippers be prioritised over me? I’ve had that seat for over 10 years. It's worse than that though. We've already been chucked out our seats for next season and seen long term match friendships broken up. I have 4 linked season tickets sat together and we have been split 2, 1 and 1 - all in different rows. It's unprofessional and not the correct way to treat loyal and regular fans. I guess £ speaks louder these days...

I believe the club are waiting for both FGR & Sunny to say how many tickets they are likely to need, as Rovers under F A rules have to allow 10% of the capacity to visiting teams. As Scunthorpe we’re relegated yesterday I am sure more tickets in the South stand will become available & I would think FGR will probably get whole of the South stand meaning tickets could then be available again like yesterday in the visiting east terrace.Can the club consider doing that this season when they've already sold s/t's for seats in the South Stand? I wouldn't have thought so. We've got season tickets and not been offered alternatives - if nothing left then it's too late to move anyone.

Its quite simple really last season the club wanted to say thank you to all season tickets holders after the pandemic so did a one off special early bird of £285. It then went up to £315 Which is what everyone else had to pay. It's now £315 for an early bird so yes it has been frozen at last season's prices. Hope that clears it up 🤔 In my case the price for the next two weeks is last seasons earlybird price ie £170, it subsequently went up to £190 which I assume will be the price in two weeks time. Not the case for me - charged the higher price for last season, not the early bird price.

Pi ss ed right off with this heap of sh**e. Prices frozen for two weeks and I am 65 in less than 4 weeks. Even though the season starts after my birthday, I am still expected to pay adult price. They can stick it where the fecking sun don't shine. I thought it was age at start of the season. I got charged more on renewing in April when one of my lads turned 16 in the July?

SW stand is being held back to allow displaced South Stand season ticket holders to choose seats before going on general sale. Still awaiting call back. Thanks for that any idea when that will be ? Not sure. I have 2 weeks in my mind but that seems a long time. Won't affect renewals, it's just being done to help existing South Stand season ticket holders.

You need to watch from the website for radio Bristol commentary Then that never use to be the case, and there's still the option to select "away" commentary. Won't hold that option, keeps reverting to home.

Can only get home commentary on ifollow despite clicking away. Any ideas? Game bad enough without listening to this audio! You need to watch from the website for radio Bristol commentary

5 points from 5 games in the conference season. A new league needs to be adapted to. Not backing or criticising anyone. DC is a Gas hero. His starting record in the Conference wasn't great. Turned out ok in the end. Need to reserve judgement here for a little while longer. Keep the faith.

On the plus side, the first two weeks of our last post relegation season didn't go too well but turned out ok in the end.

Had mine last week but not my sons (both on same account number) Might be relevant - I had to set up 3 accounts with ticketmaster - mine and 1 for each of my sons - I then linked the 3 accounts. All 3 of us got tickets - same address but 3 separate envelopes!

Considering most, if not all, season ticket holders overpaid for ifollow on home games last season, wouldn't it be a great gesture to allow us foc entry for the full capacity Oxford game? Did we? Not sure about the exact maths but I didn't feel I was being overcharged considering the number of games I watched on ifollow. Guess it depends on how much your Season Ticket was. £15 per game for me - though my seat was far more comfortable and I didn't get wet or cold!

Priority purchase for ST holders for the reduced capacity games then? Considering most, if not all, season ticket holders overpaid for ifollow on home games last season, wouldn't it be a great gesture to allow us foc entry for the full capacity Oxford game?

As an ex football league assistant referee (many years ago) I can assure you that pre-determined bias doesn't come into it. No matter what we think referees are impartial. They may interpret things differently to us, but then we do that amongst ourselves anyway. Referees are, believe it nor not, human so will respond to events in front of them in the same way we would all do. It won't change their enforcement of the laws but, when matters come down to an either/or situation, the player/manager/team that has been on your back less MAY get the benefit of the doubt. The same applies to those players constantly falling over looking for free kicks - the more often you do it,the greater the chance the genuine foul will be interpreted as a dive. It's only natural. You need only watch top flight rugby to see how this happens overtly.

I'll be renewing too but, as with others, ifollow has cost me probably £30 a game as there are 3 season tickets here. I'm not going to ask for anything but I would like to think the club will do something for those that never sought a refund. The free ifollow clearly wasn't free as non season ticket holders got it cheaper than holders, which is exactly the opposite benefit of buying a season ticket. I know other clubs are already offering huge discounts to those who retained there tickets (Swansea £99, I believe) - so we can just hope something similar happens here.

Bit worrying that we are on the third manager now to be unable to get a tune out of this squad. Which suggests the squad are just not up to the job. Mr 1.38ppg must shoulder the majority of the blame since he put them together after watching way too many Barcelona games. Whatever happens we will have Mr Barton here next season (barring custody or his resignation, of course). Let's hope he's ready for the challenge. I'm beginning to think we are going down. Too many others around us now starting to pick up points. Interestingly, and not defending what has gone before, 1.38 ppg would have us in a far more comfortable position than we are now - 14 points more comfortable.

Football's supposed to be an entertaining affair, that's why we pay to watch. The best entertainment is when it's 11 v 11 in a free flowing game with an abundance of chances at either end (a somewhat distant memory for us, I know). Part of the role of the referee is to manage that. There are rules to be enforced and, in this instance, we can have no gripe that the letter of the law wasn't applied. Our gripe us simply that the referee got his game management wrong to the extent that he is the main topic of conversation, which should never be the case. 2 yellows do make a red but, from my historic refereeing days, a second yellow dismissal would be for 2 substantial offences or persistently infringing. I don't think either applies in this case. Nothing we can do about it. Hopefully the referee reflects accordingly in discussion with the assessor.

So Bath City can have 2000 fans, might get down there for a game! Have to get past the Bath border police if you live in tier 3!

Many seem to have overlooked the communication from the top in the week. They weren't unhappy with the changes in the summer - it was part of a fundamental shift in strategy for the club. BG, for all his inability to up his win %, played a massive part in that change. We can criticise recruitment but, with the exception of probably exchanging a LB for a striker, what has come in is arguably better than what went out. The players have to take responsibility. After all, how hard is it to pass the ball in a straight line to someone wearing the same colour shirt as you? We aren't winning games because we aren't creating chances nor are we incisive in the final third. I liked possession football. Today we gave the ball away too often and too easily. Sort the final third and we will be fine. Going back to the midweek communication, the board are already looking towards next season. And let's not forget, the head of recruitment is now, rightly, director or football. So incomings can't be all that bad, can they? Last seasons players had a lot more desire and had us in 4th. It’s a bit rich imo to say we’ve brought in better than what went out- it needs to be proved I've moved on from last season. I've said before, we aren't comparing like with like. I think there is an element of rose tinted glasses with the often quoted 4th. In my opinion, and I repeat my opinion, the football we were playing was never going to sustain that position - something that Ollie also alluded to in the week. Irrespective of comparing the squads, this squad in its' age and coachability, will see us come good in the future.
