Why would any sensible person go down this route? Wouldn’t you just sell it yourself for £20-30?
I'm visiting my parents over Christmas and my dad's health isn't too good so wanted to enjoy it with him whilst I can

Mad reply.
We've sold out a load the last three seasons, thats great. We will continue to sell out this season, thats great.
But I was replying to someone saying the have ALWAYS said 32k is not big enough. This post:
Yes me saying 6 times was clearly an exaggeration but when for most of the last 20 years our average attendance each season has been below 20k, with a good few of those being below 10k. Pointing that out isn't belittling our fan base, it's belittling revisionist views.
Also "No other club does it.". We're not special, every club has fans who think they're the biggest team on earth and others who think about it a little more.

Exactly especially at the CBS.
Keep seeing other fans bring this up.
Northampton and Brum, those were extrodinary curcumstances!

Home attendances 2014/15. Easy to forget how shocking they were. I have video of some of the matches and the places looks empty.
Edit: The following season was much healthier. Lots of 11 and 12s. A couple of 15s and 17K against Port Vale.

League attendance that season was 9,998 when you exclude the Northampton games

We haven't gone to the right that much yet have we?
It's catching!

But that was due to the turnmoil caused by those dreadful owners.
Just look what they could have had years ago, instead of fracturing the fanbase and lying.
People even believed and pushed for that shit stadium they wanted to build!

Is it me or do we always seem to be at home on Boxing Day - Other than the Sheff United game where O'Hare got crocked I can't recall many Boxing Day away games in years gone by

This is our 3rd boxing day home game on the trot. Before that from 2011 Bristol City we only played 2 home games on Boxing Day in Coventry up to 2023. Port Vale 2015 and Charlton 2018

I stand mistaken, I do try and block out some of those L1 L2 games... I seem to remember going to Doncaster on Boxing Day one year and going down to 9 men (James Maddison being one of the players to be sent off)
2019 and 2021 we didn't play due to Bury going to the wall and a Covid break out in the squad

We also had Peterborough at home in Northampton and Stoke at St Andrews although that was in an empty stadium due to Covid

What a day that was, a week after beating Liverpool 5-1 too!

I was on the Kop that day - think it was a midday start and you couldn't see the West Terrace five minutes before kick-off due to fog. Miraculously lifted in time!

I remember that Posh game actually it was a bit of a basketball game - I suppose if you ever want an indicator as to how far this club has come and how bad things got, we once played a home match in another City a 90 mile round trip away and Peterborough United outnumbered our home support
And the fog descended again almost as soon as the final whistle was blown

Yes I was the same. I was in the Sky Blue Terrace for the Liverpool game. Can't believe it's 33 years ago, where has that gone
