http://www.bcfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,1...1250795,00.htmlIn our proper home end, its was our first season back in their for 14(?) years, anyway the club has decided to make adult season tickets only £250!
| CODE |
City are reducing adult season ticket prices in the "East End" area of the ground for the 2008/09 season.
Adult can claim an unreserved seat in the Micra Wedlock Stand for just £250, while under-21/over-65s/students pay £185 and under-16s - who must be accompanied by an adult - pay £100.
The club has made 1,000 spaces available on a first-come, first-served basis - although existing season ticket holders will have the first chance to guarantee their seat when sales start on Monday, March 3rd (online from Saturday, March 1st). |
For adult it is £125 cheaper than last year! and it might be prem football next year.
It is also the same price for students as it was last year, so im happy!!

Chelsea have frozen theirs for the third (or perhaps 4th) season in a row.

When i read things like that it makes me so annoyed. Double that and then you might just come close to our prices !!!!
15k next season without doubt

Their brilliant prices, pretty much what I think they should be. Next season BC could be in Div 1 and pay £250 for an adults ST, whilst in Division 3 it could cost £470 at Leeds. Well done BC. Also people will stand there in a stand that makes a great atmosphere, it seems like you've got everything you could want.

What a time to be a Bristol City fan hey?

Fair play, thats good from BCFC, especially considering the league position and limited capacity of the ground.

Surely this is proof that nationally at least this talk of a crackdown is bollocks... there's no way the FLA would be happy about cheap unreserved seating in an area where persistent standing is common (not sure I can think of any other club which has an unreserved home seating area, it would be hugely sensible at many grounds)
So in this case (for once) you have to say well done to the safety people at the club and Bristol City Council etc for allowing it, presumably?

Sounds awfully self centred being a City fan but maybe this what could help really push safe standing to the fore front if [massive if] Bristol City go up. Ashton Gate will make Fratton Park look posh.
Highly unlikely the East End will sit down just because of promotion and there on sky week upon week and motd is going to be a example of what can happen. They will be hard to ignore if its full and "bouncing".
Cue straight defeats till end of season.

Ashton Gate is a nice, old fashioned ground, but whatever league BCFC are in next year, there would be no more home standers than say West Ham, Liverpool, Cardiff, Leeds, Newcastle or Man City..amongst others.
So, while it's great that the East End is being treated a little more sensibly, I don't really see how it would make a huge difference.

I was probably making a very clumsy point there but wouldn't Cardiff or Colchester being promoted help to highlight how perverse it all is?
Without actually being a terrace the East End is pretty close to the real thing.

Lucky you can get concessions in your Home End. I have to pay full wack if I want to have a 'permanent' season ticket in the Lower North. And the prices at Bristol City are decent.

Well Fulham had 1 season of terracing in the premiership.
We have our new ground next season and are 23rd but last season promotion was a great possibility although I believe we may have been forced to share Portman Road.
Anyway good luck Bristol C!

It’s interesting in-so-far as BCFC could in principle keep what is an old-fashioned stand indefinitely, unlike clubs with actual terracing.
However in the real world I suspect the second the premiership millions start rolling in the in the East End would be torn down asap and built into the usual legoland affair we know and love. To be honest if I were a fan I’m not sure if I’d even want promotion, and that is a sad state of affairs.

It will be tore down but only if city move to a new stadium in about 2012ish, its still in its early stages and no designs have been made yet.

Wouldnt the EE need to be redeveloped anyway- seats have no backs, im sure this is regarded as a "standing area" if seats have no backs under rule something section blahblah?
