Thanks Liam.

…and have been here 30 years…

Plus use those folks on the poster to seal the deal

If an image ever screamed exciting, sexy and dynamic football…its not this

Yes but what about the improved behaviours when we’ve got time on the grass practising our front foot football?

This is every bit the PR train wreck I thought it’d be. Brian is awful in a live interview setting and the Bristol Sport stock answers are so out of touch it’s mind blowing.

Wow.

Not surprised just disappointed

Bristol Sport has become the albatross around Bristol City's neck. No one wants to buy "Bristol Sport" and from what I've read or been told that is what is on offer from the Lansdowns. Nobody wants to buy a half decent British league basketball team, a pretty good women's team, a midtable rugby team AND a midtable Championship football team. Let alone all the other components that I am no doubt unaware of. Individually you could see investment of various levels in each project but everything as a package deal makes us a very unattractive prospect. "Should I buy Bristol City but I have to take all of this, or just buy Birmingham City FC..." type of thinking. Having seen the Barcelona model first hand when I have been to the Camp Nou and they tell you about the Handball team, the basketball team etc it is very impressive but that is all a spin off of possibly the biggest and most famous football club in the entire world...not Bristol City. Some investor would probably take all the other Barca teams just to get hold of the football club, no one is doing that for us. If Steve/Jon insist on this model then they won't sell the club, they will always struggle to get investment and we continue rolling up hill as a football club. In my opinion the whole Bristol Sport era is about the Steve Lansdown legacy, not success. As someone who attends various games across these teams it is not a shot at them but as a lifelong Bristol City fan above all else it is a huge barrier to new investment/ownership and therefore success.

Someone wished upon a star and he became a real boy ?

Please do. Gathering all I can. I’ll DM you my email address. Thank you very much. Thanks Dave

100% and has been on cloud 9 ever since. We are having the shirt he got signed framed etc for him but he's trying to put together a photo book of the whole experience to share with friends and family (and maybe even his kids one day) and these 2 bits are the only undocumented bits of the experience.

Hello all, After a bit of help if anyone can offer it? My son was a mascot against Man City, obviously had the time of his life and we've got a ton of good photos of him before the game with the players etc which is great. Having got the professional photos back yesterday there are 2 things we don't have any photos or video of and I wondered if anyone might have anything from the night from the Lansdown side of the ground? 1. A picture of him (of probably all the players/mascots) lined up on the pitch when the players are all lined up. 2. Any video etc of our players and mascots shaking hands with the Man City team as the 2 lines crossed. As parents we had to wait right down in the corner so could barely see let alone get any good footage etc. If anyone has anything on their phone then please DM me. The official club footage doesn't show him in either of these scenarios. Thank you for your help in advance. Alex

My son was mascot against Man City and I was talking to some of the staff while he was doing various things. This summer is 5 years since the plastic was renewed as the basis for the pitch and that is the end of its life so this year is a total tear out of everything (not just the turf) and the whole plastic web under the pitch will be laid as new from the very bottom up. Should make a big difference next season I was told.

I did god knows which part of my distant memory I plucked Gavin Williams from. Edited. This guy is a regular and has been for a long time, its just a weird obsession at this point. Indeed. Edited.

The bloke behind me in the Dolman absolutely detests Joe Williams with every ounce of his being. For 90 minutes every game, "Bloody hell!", "Joe Bloody Williams, again...", "He over hits everything...". On the regular occasion that Williams makes a great block, interception etc we have brief silence but soon back to ragging on him for next to nothing. It really is quite ridiculous from a pretty negative person anyway during games but Joe cops it ten fold. I think fit Joe Williams is exactly what Matty James and Alex Scott need to allow them to thrive. He is everywhere, acts as an enforcer and the amount of balls he blocks or gets a foot on to stop a break etc is very high. His job is basically to win the ball back for the skill players to play. He's been excellent recently, as of course have Matty and Alex. I have tried to ask the guy behind me why he hates him so much but lets just say he's not up for the conversation.

To many players been poor today at the same time against good opposition... We've given up now and so have I. We ride again on Tuesday. Embarrassing display.

Doesn't create goals, doesn't stop goals and doesn't score goals. Plus he is shrugged off the ball by a gentle breeze. Not good enough for this level. Lots of nice touches but zero end product.

Bobby Reid has the physical presence of a fairy cake it's embarrassing.

Again...

Here's hoping they're a bunch of loons like Tan at Cardiff. Have them change their colour, name, badge and destroy whatever club they currently are...

"So we could put a couple of jumpers here and anything on the roundabout is a throw in"

I look forward to them reforming in the Downs 12th division as FC Rovers...
