Exactly this. Not a happy bunny. My brother is disabled, and doesn't have a smart phone as he can't use one, neither does he have a printer to print tickets - why should he? He doesn't have a computer. How will the club accommodate him? A complete fuster cluck. They would have been better off not saying anything until they were sure. After saying cards would be sent I'd assume your brother - & many others - would under disability discrimination be offered a reasonable alternative. I feel sorry for Clare and Pete at the shop who have unwittingly given out information that is now incorrect. If the shop was open now I'd expect them not to answer the phone as they'd get a bit of stick. The shop is closed today, to stock up on the new away kit. But also other areas of BRFC are not answering phones, as there is a maintenance task happening. /photo/1

Season ticket was renewed early. No change in anything so fall into the keep your season ticket category. Now they've sent me an email with tickets on. I have no idea what they are doing. Not sure they know what they are doing. Exactly this. Not a happy bunny. My brother is disabled, and doesn't have a smart phone as he can't use one, neither does he have a printer to print tickets - why should he? He doesn't have a computer. How will the club accommodate him? A complete fuster cluck.

Yes, what a cock up. can't buy seats for the 2 senior citizens linked to my account Ah, so it wasn’t just me then? Can’t you go into the other accounts and buy separately? Though I guess it’s more problematic if you want seats together. Trying to buy for people on hols and living abroad, so no chance now of sitting together, if we can get any seats at all now. We always try and snatch defeat from the jaws of success at Rovers. Had the same problem at the start of last season. You would think a "professional" company, would know their business and be able to get things right first time - I am talking of TicketDisaster.

Pete has tweeted there is a problem, but every season there is hassle. No chance now of family sitting together

I would have liked us to get Koumetio as well, unfortunately he has gone to Austria Vienna on loan. This means nothing to me

Why don't the club actively target students from both universities, to get them in the ground as "floating" supporters. 40% of the grads stay in and around Bristol, ideal opportunity to gain a younger fanbase with some disposable income.

With some games already sold out, FGR, or close to sold out, Shrews. How does that now affect anyone wanting to buy a season ticket? They can't currently, though the club are looking at pro-rata STs going forward, 20 games left, pay for 20 not 23. Some may become available later.

From what i could see on the zone map, the fruit market isnt actually inside the congestion charge zone Correct, the Dings and Totterdown bridge are currently not included. Though if thousands of cars start to use the area, I can see the CAZ being extended to help increase revenue for BCC. I know this is getting ahead of ourselves, but if the FM happens, and you may need to cross the CAZ, you can check if you will need to pay here~: vehiclecheck.drive-clean-air-zone.service.gov.uk/vehicle_checkers/enter_details

While it is limited to 1 ticket per ST holder, you do have the ability - on the eTicket system - to link ST accounts, to enable the purchase of a few tickets seated together.

Burton, meet Winterstream Farm for a breakfast, then head off to the game with a few mates and a few beers.

Many clubs in the EFL are running a scheme to hand back ST access on a match by match basis - if the holder can't attend, in return for a payment. The club gets an extra ticket to sell, and the ST holder gets a small remuneration (if sold on), and a ticket becomes available to the fans that may not be able to access a game if its a sell-out. Do Rovers have any plans to offer such a system/scheme? This could be a win-win-win for all involved.

To say there's still 6.5 weeks to go not looking too shabby, I'd only say we need to move Westbrooke on, to free up a bit more room in the SCMP budget. Rodman won't be earning huge money and is undoubtedly a good squad member. What a change it makes to have a summer of relative stability and continuity. UTG Preseason training starts next week, with the 1st friendly a week after at Melksham. Could really do with having a full squad in the doors before Preseason. Otherwise we could be in a similar position to the start of last season, with players missing out. That then took us 4 months to get going. Don't think we can afford to give League 1 that much of a head start can we?

This latest news is making me pessimistic, the non binding exclusivity period was already generous, extending says to me, some businesses still dont want to sell and be uprooted. Combine that with the Mayoral role disappearing in 2 or so years, to leave behind an adversarial governance system, and then add any pro city councillors that would try to delay or block the pp, and then add in any fighting groups that will try and resist the development of housing on the Mem, I unfortunately feel this chapter will inexorably draw to a disappointing non productive conclusion. Or nowt happening in a nutshell. I really want to be proved wrong, and will gladly accept any amount of ridicule if I am wrong, but.....

I've always wondered if we could swap the Mem with the Civil Service club, they don't need the space they currently occupy and we could make use of it. There is also a train station in the pipeline for Muller Rd which would help ease vehicle congestion. Other than that turn the pitch so the west terrace and seats become the away end, and build new terraces with safe seating.

Hasn't coutts already signed a extension? Don’t believe so (nothing announced) but in coutts evening post piece he talks about kicking on next season. Would be surprised if he didn’t, but would be personal / family reasons. Wael’s comment about every member of the squad wanting to play for Joey next season made me very positive! www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/joey-barton-reveals-bristol-rovers-6905344Joey Barton reveals Bristol Rovers' lynchpin has earned a contract extension for next season The nucleus of Bristol Rovers' squad for next season grows stronger with club captain Paul Coutts triggering a contract extension
