pap Posted 28 August, 2013 Share Posted 28 August, 2013 I'm happy enough with that. A cup run always puts a spring in my step. With the number of top-tier clashes in the next round, a good chance of getting one. Always amazed me that neither of the Bristol teams have done better. Huge city. ms pap and I agreed that arseholes in Swindon would have squeaked in unison when they saw their opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 28 August, 2013 Share Posted 28 August, 2013 what ever the draw, a few on here will respond with 'boring' Or the tedious "who cares, it's only a football draw" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 28 August, 2013 Share Posted 28 August, 2013 Happy with City, my Uncle's a ST holder with them so gives me a chance to gloat when we smash them all up and down the pitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonraker Posted 28 August, 2013 Share Posted 28 August, 2013 Should pull in a decent crowd to see the youngsters, Brizzle will bring 3k+. You got the wrong Brizzle, rovers would bring 3k no chance city will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 28 August, 2013 Share Posted 28 August, 2013 (edited) Nice kit... Thought last night when they were showing them beating Palace, that would be an interesting tie, then rather immaturely thinking whoever is at home the other team would be accidentally passing the ball to them or the first 10-15 minutes!! Bugger just realised bloody work will scupper getting to that game!! Edited 29 August, 2013 by John Boy Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 Good draw for us. If we are to progress in this competition, its good lots of PL teams are eliminating each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericofarabia Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 Do we play our Home Cup Games on Wednesdays now that we are in The Prem? Hope so, should be able to sneak in an extra day down south and add this match to my Liverpool away and Palarse home matches whilst in UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan The Flames Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 Good draw I hate Bristol City, so it will be great to smash them up. Our recent record against them isn't great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 Excellent draw. As with every season I want to see us to try win this competition not just use it to give the reserve team keeper some playing time, so avoiding a Premiership side can only help.

bristol_city_fc Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 You got the wrong Brizzle, rovers would bring 3k no chance city will. Are you on drugs?! City are by far the better supported bristol team. 3k may be asking a bit much for a league cup match - but we have filled the end before as you well know. Anyway - you should beat us easily now that we are 2 leagues apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time you filled that end was when you were top of the championship, after that you didn't get anywhere near filling the away end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alehouseboys Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 You got the wrong Brizzle, rovers would bring 3k no chance city will. City are 'capable' of taking away a good crowd, they've bought good numbers to SMS before. A League One side drawing a Premier side for a cup game 80-90 miles away would be a good distraction from lower league football. They might even fancy their chances against our reserves...they have just dumped out Palace. It wouldn't surprise me to see a big Brizzle following, they usually play up a bit when they come down too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonraker Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 Whilst City have a larger home following, Rovers away following is out of all proportion to their home gates. City average 1 away fan for every 20 home fans (4th worst away following in the footbal league) Rovers is twice that. As a side note the bestest fans in the world avearge 1 away fan for evey 15 home fans and are therefore officially 57th bestest away fans!!!!!

Though doesn't answer the question of who is likely to bring the most in absolute terms as depends what their average home gates are (I'm guessing City is higher than Rovers but is it more than double?)

farawaysaint Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 Good draw, considering how the gasheads still idolise Rickie I imagine that he'd love to down City in the cup Should make for interesting viewing if he scores as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly for 2012 - 13 Rovers avarage attendence was just under half of Citys, 6308 v 13348, Rovers were responsible for 2 of highest attendences at in League 2, Oxford and Torquay whilst city featured in none of the highest attendences in the Championship.

JRM Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 Never mind how many Bristol City will bring (imo won't be more than 1500 max) i doubt the home crowd will be much unless priced correctly. By that i think £15 for good seats in Kingsland / Itchen centre, and £10 wings / behind goals, kids for £1, like it used to be when we played teams like Yeovil and got over 20k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 Wouldn't be surprised if we only get around 10k there. Although with sensible pricing (adult £10, child £1), theres no reason why we shouldn't get 20k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
