Re: Ashton Gate vandalism - extra £1 on all away tickets.
Has anybody checked the club are allowed to do this? I thought there were league rules to restrict clubs meddling with away ticket prices on an ad-hoc basis. Rarely travel away so could be completely wrong about that.

Re: Ashton Gate vandalism - extra £1 on all away tickets.
The worst thing is that the people who will be punished the most, is those who travel away the most. If you go to lots of away games, you will end up paying more than anyone else. So our keenest fans, those who gladly travel to the far-flung grounds of the League, just to watch CCFC, are the ones who will have to pay for the idiocy of those who turn up once in a blue moon, and cause trouble.

Re: Ashton Gate vandalism - extra £1 on all away tickets.
Why shouldn't we responsible for our own hooligans ?
The club are doing the right thing by being responsible for our supporters.
We are all in this together , until it doesn't suit us ... £1 ?:hehe:

The same Gwyn Davies who made threats to supporters who challenged the rebrand? I’m not sure he’s best example to use or some of the peanuts who used to travel on the valley rams coaches. I used them a couple of times and it was an eye opener and I’m not easily shocked.

More than just threats .
Where is he now?

Re: Ashton Gate vandalism - extra £1 on all away tickets.
And another thing....how long will it go on for? Say the damage costs £10,000. That means it's paid for once 10,000 people go to away matches. Say 1000 at Barnsley, 2500 at Millwall, 1200 Huddersfield, 2500 at QPR, 1000 Middlesbrough, and 2500 at reading should see it done. If it goes on any longer than that, then they're saving up for something...
I hope someone keeps track.

Agreed but a degree of self policing wouldn’t go amiss. I’m sure some amongst the fan base would volunteer. They wouldn’t really care if they were friend or foe as long as they could belt someone.

Re: Ashton Gate vandalism - extra £1 on all away tickets.
Not happy with this at all. Like everyone else I spend a fortune travelling away; I was hoping it was Barnsley away this coming weekend because I’d already paid for trains. No problem. Liverpool instead. Overnight stay now because the club agreed to a kick off time that was un achievable to make by public transport. Extra tv revenue I guess.

It's only adult tickets aswell remember, so any kids or oap tickets don't have the extra charge.

Re: Ashton Gate vandalism - extra £1 on all away tickets.
£1 isn't going to break the bank but I just don't understand why anyone thought this was a good idea.
We're playing Huddersfield away in 3 weeks time on a Wednesday night. So we're going to reward our fans who travel on a near 450 mile round trip with an extra charge... to teach those who smashed the toilets up in Bristol a lesson (I can almost guarantee none of those will be in Huddersfield).
As I said the £1 isn't an issue, it's the whole principle behind it.
As it stands I bought my Millwall and Huddersfield tickets a while ago... So I'm £2 up :hehe:

I don’t think any of the fans really want to pay it so just send the club a cheque for £20k. In it together :ayatollah:
