All about protecting their pitch I reckon. If they did use Ashton Gate they’d probably get 5000+ - would that be worth it for them?
In purely financial terms, probably not. But it would be a good PR move. |

I think in the rules of the competition the later rounds the games have to be played at the home teams first team stadium

3k at a push. Bristol City socials haven't been pushing their 18s cup run at all for some reason. |

None of the top 2 tier clubs even really publicise U18 cup fixtures until its quarter final, stage normally. Which it now is. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

We’d take 1000 - or in Bristol Rovers parlance that means 10,000

The Guardian today has a feature about Manchester United Under 18s - p14 w14. No mention of a singular defeat at all ...

I mean, there literally is a mention of defeats "in cup competitions" to Wolves and Swindon. It doesn't linger on them though! |

I must read more carefully. Thanks for pointing it out. We get a mention, top right of the final column. I won't cancel my subscription in that case.

Shows we can score from a corner, even if it wasn't one of ours... |
