Sunderland vs Swindon young 'uns.

Hawes suggesting the under 18’s v Bristol City will be played at Ashton Gate allowing many fans to go.

The rules of the competition are that it has to be played at the home teams actual stadium I understand from the QF's onwards.

I heard Sean Wood repeat what JJ has written before todays game talking to Hodgetts.

[Batch]

great news then

[Jimmy Quinn]

I would imagine both sets of fans would be in the Dolman stand……..should be trouble free😁

[Audrey]

Don’t think they could segregate that.

[Posh Red]

Don’t think they could segregate that.

I've sat in the Dolman stand as a Town fan watching us before, in the League Cup when we won 3-0 at home in the first leg.
Also sat in there with Sheffield United fans in the play-offs.

Both times there were fights breaking out during the game

One of the behind the goals stands gets split right? Possibly the Atyeo, I remember arriving late at Ashton Gate, flashing my ticket at a bored attendant who promptly allowed me entry to the City side with my away ticket... made a quick retreat once I found my row and realised my seat number was on the other side of the wall.

[Audrey]

Think they may be surprised at how many we would take - I reckon 1000 wouldn’t be out of the question.

[Jimmy Quinn]

The Dolman holds just over 6000 so in theory would be big enough to accommodate both home and away fans but……..there is still a lot of rivalry between the clubs and we haven’t played them at any level for a long time so you could easily see a few idiots from both sides turning up to cause trouble even if it is a under 18 game. Would Bristol City want to open up two stands for a crowd of 4000-5000 (maybe more) remains to be seen as Aud has stated they may be surprised how many from Swindon want to watch the game and 1400 travelled to Reading for a Mickey Mouse game with lots of youngsters on display.

[tans]

Out of interest what was the attendance for the Man Utd game and why are people convinced lots of fans will travel to Bristol City?

[Audrey]

2,800 I think. I’d go to Ashton Gate for sure.

[Costanza]

There were 2,187 at the Man Utd U18s game and a fair few of those would have been there to see the opposition. The mentioned potential numbers of people going to Bristol City (a) are extremely optimistic.
