Wiki has their capacity 54,000. I thought it was more. 15% is 8,100. Tasty..... As it stands that is the capacity as the new stand is still not fully operational but could be by the end of January which would increase it to 61000. |

Klopp will probably rest most of the first team players anyway if they have to play us. |

Financially it’s a great draw if we beat Norwich but that’s it.
More Bristolians support Liverpool than the Gas (and 82 for that matter) and that is truly and utterly pathetic and it’s why the clubs in this city aren’t as big as they are in other comparable sized places.

Won’t be many things more embarrassing than Bristolian’s ‘supporting’ their prem team against a Bristol club. Belters. |

Yes, was there, cracking night out. Carl Saunders goal was a banger and if it wasn't for McManaman swapping wings we'd have got away with it Their futures were quite different. McManaman went to Real Madrid, Saunders went to Lebeq Tavern !! My old assistant gaffer!
We played at Anfield in the FA Sunday Cup Final back in 2007.

If we make it, really hope its a late kick off or moved to Sunday. Just realised I land back in Heathrow following a work trip in New York at 9am on the 27th. Gonna cut it tight... On the ‘red eye’ - you’ll need at least a Business Class ticket. |

Interesting selection of comments from Norwich fans. Most seem keener on avoiding a humiliating spanking at the hands of a good side than the prospect of a decent day out and the possibility of a good result. Who was it who said football was all about glory? Danny Blanchflower maybe? I’d rather risk a drubbing from Klopp’s kids than be as negative as some Norwich fans seem to be. |

The game at Twerton stuck in my mind. Jan Molby looked petrified. Cap doffed to whoever thought of the 'This is Anfield' sign and did a painted sheet 'This is Twerton' Think Motty may have commentated on the highlights. Cleary remember quotes from both games. 'Forget this is Anfield, this is Twerton park' 'Burrows has got to be careful, he's given the ball away to Carl Saundeeeeeeeerrrrssssss' Re-live it all here including the build up: |

Difference is that Norwich play Liverpool fairly regularly and are not star struck and wetting their pants thinking about going there again for a so say ‘big day out’ I’d rather be like Norwich. Maybe if people in Bristol had the bollox to support their local clubs in the same percentages as they do in Norwich or Ipswich or Burnley or Newcastle or Sunderland or Sheffield or etc etc it would be no big deal for us either! |

Or is that both Bristol clubs have been starved of pretty much any success and apart from City's few years in the late 70's no history of top flight Football?
Plus Bristol has the biggest Amateur/Semi Pro scene outside of London, where more people are playing Football themselves on weekends more than anywhere else.
If you combine both Bristol clubs home and away average attendances it's pretty much 30k home and over 3k away. Thats not bad at all for clubs that have always been pretty much lower league.

But our clubs wouldn’t be pretty much always lower league if the people of this city supported their football clubs in the same way as they do in other comparable sized places. What comes first? In other places it’s the local clubs that come first, success follows. It will rarely happen the other way around which is why we have mainly lower league teams. Just think how big the Bristol clubs would be if only half of Bristolians who support Liverpool or Man U instead actively supported their local club. |

Apart from Sheffield, every team you've mentioned is a 1 team town where fans, schools, council and media can get behind a common cause. Plus all of those sides have been bigger, better and more successful than both bristol clubs in the last 40 years. Sunderland and Burnley might have half decent sides, but would you want to live there? |

Bristol, Swindon Exeter, FGR, Cheltenham and Plymouth from about 8 SW counties fgs. |
