Sour Mash Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 City fans on their forum are saying their tickets are selling well, already a biggest attendance of the season. Also a fair few of them saying they're lumping money on them to be promoted. They've had some good results, but they've come against questionable opposition (barring WHU). I watched their game at the weekend and they were only marginally better than Millwall, who were gash. 0-3 Got a link? I fancy a good laugh.
Toadhall Saint Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 2-2 Maynard will want to impress his future employer. LOL - always a good alternative view!

Most expecting at least a point
Um Bongo Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 Not surprised they're confident, they're in great form and have nothing to lose against us. We're not as good away and their pace will trouble us a lot. I'd be amazed if we won it by more than one goal, and amazed if we kept a clean sheet. Many seem to think it's an easy game, yet they've held west ham and beaten leicester. Personally I'd take a draw and another win against Hull. If I was still a gambling man, I'd go for the Bristol City win. Good odds and a good chance of it happening. They are 3rd from Bottom and have won once at home. Lambert to have a good time and score, locals to go mental at him.

In fairness though their defence ain't up to much and we have the most free scoring team in the league, so although their attack is decent so is ours a high scoring game could well be on the cards.
saints_is_the_south Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 Bristol City have the worst home record in the division. Understand they've picked up a lot recently, but this is a game we really must be winning. I think they'll huff & puff a lot and make it very difficult for us, but our quality will shine through in the end. If we can keep Maynard quiet, then we should be alright.
DJ_TOAST Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 Looking forward to Sat should be good game...oh and me birthday so gona be bit of a boozy day!! :0 anyone got any pub recommendations ?
benjii Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 The footballgroundguide website says the Hen & Chicken should be given a "wide berth". The Cottage Inn at Baltic Wharf looks a like a good boozer, we're gunna head there. http://www.cottage.butcombe.com/ I think this will be a really tough game, despite their position in the league table they've really picked up under their new manager, unbeaten under him I believe. Going with a tight 2-1 win for Saints. The Cottage is a nice pub and en route to the ground from Temple Meads. My group of 5 or so will be in there!
Rebel Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 And how exactly are they going to get promoted when they are 3rd from bottom and in all probability going to lose Nicky Maynard in the January transfer window? And people think some of our fans are deluded!
corsacar saint Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 First away game for a couple of years,will be far trickier than some on here predict,but if we play to any thing like our full potential,hope fully we will come back with all 3 points.
RobM Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 And how exactly are they going to get promoted when they are 3rd from bottom and in all probability going to lose Nicky Maynard in the January transfer window? And people think some of our fans are deluded! It's a big ask, but they are 11 points off the playoffs with the majority of the season remaining. I wouldn't bet on it, but I wouldn't be quite so sure that it's impossible for any team in this league to do it.
Saint-scooby Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 I dont think it will be a walk over, as stated above quite pacey and pass the ball. Hopefully 3 points.
Badger Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 It wouldn't be that unusual for David James to pick Saints as the team he'll be unbeatable against. My worry also - if he has one good game this season, you just know it don't you ?
Saint_lambden Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 My worry also - if he has one good game this season, you just know it don't you ? Like the last game against Pompey. Although Waigo should've scored that header from 3 yards...if only...
Badger Posted 22 November, 2011 Posted 22 November, 2011 Like the last game against Pompey. Although Waigo should've scored that header from 3 yards...if only... Yes, not an outstanding save in my book, just a tame header. And lets try and forget Jaidi's chance.
offix Posted 23 November, 2011 Posted 23 November, 2011 I feel that we are due to give some team an embarrassing loss in an away game. This could be the one. 0 - 4
Cabrone Posted 23 November, 2011 Posted 23 November, 2011 Gut feeling is that this one is going to be a tear up. I'll go with 4-3 to us but could go either way TBH. Whatever the score I fancy a few goals (probably going to be a 0-0 now!)
bristol_city_fc Posted 23 November, 2011 Posted 23 November, 2011 Alright Chaps, Quick word of advice for any saints chancing the home end on Saturday. You should be fine as long as you dont come in giving it the biggun like some ill advised leeds fans did - we have some fairly intolerent fans for that kind of thing. Otherwise, enjoy the game - looking set to be an entertaining one.....

bristol_city_fc Posted 23 November, 2011 Posted 23 November, 2011 Tbh, I dont see why we couldnt move our fans that sit/stand in the East End (wedlocks) right down into one corner and give saints an extra 500 or so tkts. Generally our gates have been poor this season, but as our form improves I would expect our attendances to follow suit. I would anticipate a gate of around 16,500 for this one....

de-fence Posted 23 November, 2011 Posted 23 November, 2011 If ANYONE has a spare ticket for this going I will give you face value with an extra fiver with a pint inside and anything else you fancy on top of that. Am desperate to get a ticket, being a Saints fan at bristol uni I was gutted to miss out. If anyone has one going can they PM me/email me at williamtwyman@gmail.com. Cheers guys.
de-fence Posted 23 November, 2011 Posted 23 November, 2011 bristol_city_fc, cheers for the information. Would I have any trouble do you think just turning up on the day and trying to buy one? Will I have to be registered on the database or anything? Any help would be appreciated, cheers.
Giamlarrahan Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 Whoever wrote 'We are Southampton, we'll sit where we want' on the crowd thread is a legend. Made me lol
marc_saint Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 http://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/141433-southampton-crowd/page__st__45 Thinks Saints players might be in for a shock..... Wont have played in a decent away atmosphere this season.... I think they'll be alright in that respect!
Jack Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 Whoever wrote 'We are Southampton, we'll sit where we want' on the crowd thread is a legend. Made me lol That bloke is a tosser. He's always on other team's forums giving it the big one.
SNSUN Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 I get a good vibe reading that forum - most of them seem like a decent set of fans, more so than some fans forums I've read this season. I've never really thought much about Bristol City before, but if they stay up in place of Portsmouth, I'd love them indefinitely. :-)
Window Cleaner Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 http://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/141433-southampton-crowd/page__st__45 I think they'll be alright in that respect! Probably won't even be much of a turn out from Bristol.Saint's fans (licit or illicit) will probably make up 30% of the attendance.
bristol_city_fc Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 bristol_city_fc, cheers for the information. Would I have any trouble do you think just turning up on the day and trying to buy one? Will I have to be registered on the database or anything? Any help would be appreciated, cheers. I would suggest that you go in the Williams stand as this is where some of our more placid fans sit - sit on your hands if/when you score and you should be fine!
markyboy Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 Just hope those that were in the home stand to our right at Plymouth don't sit in the home stand at Bristol. Never seen such a mauling pack attacking them apart from on police camera action cctv

Everything i got from that has taken them from a team i really didnt have an opinion of to a team i dislike now. Im sure they;re gutted to hear that, but on that thread all it was was "yeah lets see what happens if they try" (re sitting in home end) "Leeds tried that we sent them packing" "sit down shut up" etc etc. ar$holes
markyboy Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 Most of those Saints fans got charged/banned. Great policing Yeah great policing. Seems to me they like nailing Saints fans although dare I say it not all Saints fans are whiter than white at the football. Nearly got thrown out of the side of pitch terrace at Fulham by the police for waving my index and middle finger at the Fulham fans when we equalised. All they did was bring out the dogs to the front of the away stand we were in. The jubilant mood we were in that day would never have led to any trouble fromo us unless provoked.

Is that where all the Gas fans just there to watch you get crapped on by Saints in general and RL in particular will be?
bristol_city_fc Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 Is that where all the Gas fans just there to watch you get crapped on by Saints in general and RL in particular will be? No no - obviously they will all be packing the away end at Southend United..... I actually think it will be a pretty good game. We seem to have hit a bit of form but Saints are top of the league so hopefully it will be entertaining. I am sure Mr Lambert will be made most welcome on his return to Bristol My score prediction: 1-1.
Window Cleaner Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 No no - obviously they will all be packing the away end at Southend United..... Let us not delude ourselves.
adethorne Posted 24 November, 2011 Posted 24 November, 2011 so will be the 12 of us to the cottage pub i mean

dubai_phil Posted 25 November, 2011 Posted 25 November, 2011 Not gonna be able to listen. Am working Saturday evening (yeah there's a Golf Event coming up down here) Would hope we turn up in the 1st half and play with a bit more bite - I loved the 1st half against Brighton - the "you know what, you're not even worth getting up a sweat" attitude as we controlled them - but would be concerned if we try and do that against a team with a bit of momentum. Will be happy just to keep the bus rumbling onwards with a scrappy win by an odd goal, and save the tear them 25 new ones Away performance for you all know where. Luckily the son is here on hols so will set him up to listen to DM & take control of the txt'ing of updates. EoA will either be working or his usual befuddled OSH self trying to txt with 20 fingers
thorpie the sinner Posted 25 November, 2011 Posted 25 November, 2011 We all know Maynard will score against us lol, so it will have to be a scrappy 2-1 saints!!!
Danbert Posted 25 November, 2011 Posted 25 November, 2011 "I've had a little look at the run we've got coming up, and obviously we want to win every game, but we're all definitely confident going into this game of getting three points." Rickie Lambert Sounds like complacency creeping in to me.
