What sort of gate do you reckon we'll get??

How many tickets have they sold?

12,000 ?

It'll be a little worse than expected because of the shit KO time. I hate early kick offs.

No more than 11,000 i reckon,will be pleased with anything over that.

Think this has worked well for me in this instance. I can be back home by half 4, in time for scotland england and an extended birthday beer sesh! Happy dayz


I reckon we'll get 10 and half. Wovers will bring a few and we're doing quite well as of late

I've been looking on their forum and their official site for info on tickets sold to no avail.

 Doubtless a lot who would have otherwise gone, will give it a miss for fear of being hit by poorly aimed flares or worse incinerated.

according to a rovers forum, away attendance is poor for them recently, so 9500/10k i reckon

Surely their bring 1500 ?

They'll They'll They'll They'll They'll They'll They'll They'll They'll

Excuse me.





10,800.

I will be both, at work and at the CG.

Result.

Anything less than 10,000 would be dissapointing.

Can anybody tell me when the last time we had an attendance that was a prime number?

Well I'm bringing 3 of my girls with me (If we can get the overtime on Saturday changed that is) Looking forward to this and hopefully a Swindon win!

Youm be wanting The Sieve of Eratosthenes.

I'll hazard a guess at bloody ages ago.

Away to Southend.

6689.

At home...

We haven't this season.

Can't be arsed to look at last season!

Uh... there's no Six Nations this weekend Dave. Weekend break, innit.

I'm going this weekend.

I had a nosey on their forum, some seemed to be struggling to get tickets online saying they were only available to seniors and juniors (I guess they want the families in the arkells bit?)

9337. That' my guess.

Please let the run last at least one more game!

ref: P TAYLOR. Doesn't ring any bells. That's good.

10,406 (1600 from them)

i was looking at the fixtures wondering what dave was talking about!

I'm with Iffy's Onion Bhaji on this, I hate the early kick off times. It means i have to work in the morning and try sneak off as early as possible to make the 30-40 minute drive there. Oh well, as long as i don't get a flare thrown at me when i get there, i'm a happy guy.

Usually ripped out seats against Rovers...

I shall be in the pub at 10am. It opens at 8am but Fred thought that was too early.

Exactly, i'm used to it now. Seats are fine. I'm telling you now though, if they start bringing flares i'm going to be so so angry... Grr.

21 March 2009 v Hereford   3 - 0    (Cox 2, Paynter)
Attendance: 7,129

-1  i wont be there!! :cry:

Get a hobby

I'd rather 1000 flares than some cunt with a drum.

10 arf fousand.

10,528 to be exact.

Which pub? I'm gonna bus it in and have a beer for a change  :)

11,300.

And we will win 2-1

says the man with 12,000 posts

To early for me.

i reckon 11,000 ish

mail coach

Is that your local?

yes.

Thought so. I'll probably go to the Merlin  :)

Theres talk of people bringing beach balls to this, not too sure if i'd like that or not! Think todays weather got to them. Could be a laugh i guess.

Touche.

We're going to give the Merlin a miss because:

a) It doesn't open until 11am
 and
b) It'll be packed full of Rovers

BAN THEM ALL. Elf and safety innit.

beach balls? im going to fire flares at them.

Shit. Ruins my plan then, was going to bus it in because i got the morning off and then go there for a few pints.

Around 10,000 ish i reckon..

With where we are in the league and from their pov the fact they thrashed us at theirs you would think it'd be almost a sell out.

Actually it'll be a couple thousand short of capacity. Around 12,000.

THE FUCKING DOCKLE.......AND STOP SHOUTING YOU CUNT

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

There's more than one pub within easy walking distance of the CG. All is not lost, alter your plan a little

Oh yeah, i know. :) Just thought that would be where to go. Glad i heard it though, i wouldn't of wanted to go in on Saturday and be finding out the hard way. Got any thoughts on where to go? I normally drive so i don't tend to be having any need to go to the pub before or after.

I'm taking dynamite covering it in superglue and then chucking it at old people and children. After i'm done flares will be actively encouraged.

County Ground Hotel...Pint and Prostitute in Manchester Road....Bulldog.

Or anywhere in town is an easy 12 minute walk...Grove in Drove Road...or the Vic or Donkey are about 10 mins from CG.

Legends Lounge.

I'm two hours away...but I'll be there on Saturday.

8 and a half thousand sold according to someone I know who works at the club.

Couple more thousand should sell you'd think.

Depends if that includes the away tickets sold

My gas head mate says they have sold around 1200 tickets so far according to their travel club.

Interesting read on wiki  ???

my first home game of the season tomorrow, hoorah!

If we lose, you're banished for good.

OS says 9,300 sold so far. Not sure if that is in the home end or both. Presumably we're looking at a crowd of 10,500+ though which isn't bad given that Rovers isn't really a proper derby!

Why isn't it? It is.

Oxford is a 'proper derby'.

The hatred isn't there against the Bristol teams so much as the yellow scum.

Not these days. It's pretty venomous against Rovers now and has been for the last 4 years. There was just a stop gap between 92-2006 where we either didn't care or never played them.

Really? To be honest I don't really care that much, and I think my claim that others feel the same is justified by the fact we struggled to sell our allocation there in December.

There was a study done about six years ago into who fans felt were their club's biggest rivals.  Our top three came up as, predictably, as: Oxford, Bristol City, Bristol Rovers.  In that order.

Given that we haven't played Oxford or City for a good few years, its only predictable that the Rovers derby would become more significant.  If City and Oxford ended up in the same league as us the Rovers thing would diminish naturally.

And no, I don't have a link, but its something like footballfancensus.com, and its called "the rivals".  Look it up for yourself.

There's a link to that survey on the Swindon wikipedia page. We've been been over this argument before. Just because Oxford are our number 1 rival doesn't mean we don't have other derbys.

it's okay, it's unlikely i'll get to another home game this season. perhaps the play-offs.

I'll pay you not to.

Sonic, stay away from SN1 !!!!!!!
