Living just outside Bristol, this is a 'home' game for me! Got two friends coming with me. Really hope we take all the 1800 tickets. We've done well there in the recent past, so looking for an away win.
I'm hoping to get one, as I want to be there for the first game. Although I live in Bristol, I was brought up in Lancing, where I still have family, so I'm looking to pay them a visit on home game weekends. I'll also be booking train tickets early to get the cheap singles for other Saturday...

Sitting in Bristol loving all of this. Another goal for Murray (extend his contract quick!), another clean sheet and six points clear. Superb.
Well done guys and thank you Gus. Bring on Peterborough.
If you still can, get your PFA player of the month votes in for Murray.
SEAGULLS!!!!
Easy 10 - I accept your comment, but as we didn't play Rochdale etc last year, I had to come up with something to make the comparison and, as I'm not very scientific, it was the best I could come up with!
I know there have already been threads about where we were in the league this time last season, but I've compared the games we've played so far with the results of the same games last season. Obviously some of the teams have changed, so I've had to replace, for example, Norwich with Sheffield...
