Iwans Big Toe 312 Posted January 4, 2018 All that info is wasted on me I''m afraid as, having spent the turn of the century living in Horfield, I refuse to give your club a penny of my money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

infoman 2 Posted January 13, 2018 I am lead to believe that 1,300 tickets have been sold for the away end.In season 2016/17 when Norwich City visited Ashton Gate 944 away fans attended That was a tuesday night in March 2017The first time Norwich City had been to Ashton Gate since 2010.Fair play to all of you attending,it''s nearly five hour drive from Norwich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
