RedYoshi Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 To be fair, it did have Bristol City written on too (and none of the other clubs), and I suppose the Bristol Sport bit could've been Adidas, or Umbro, or TFG, or any other company that had provided them if Bristol Sport didn't exist. That said, it did seem a bit foolish having previously suggested that it would have been a much nicer looking one with a robin. In terms of promoting Bristol Sport on national TV, the scarves didn't really add to that, and Bristol City supporters don't really need reminding of its presence. You should've thrown it on the pitch (or next game, if you didn't take it off 'til you got home). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Steve Lansdown said on BBC TV before today's game that he had visited Barcelona Nue Camp and was impressed by the way the football club had encompassed pretty much all the sports within that wonderful City. SL saw that template as a an ideal one for our wonderful City. Hence Bristol Sport. Personally I think it's a brilliant conception and am 100% behind the idea despite the fact I Have a limited understanding about the rules of rugby or basketball for that matter.

HoldenBall Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I think the idea of Bristol Sport is excellent as it pretty much leaves out a certain club that ruin the great name of Bristol. I don't see the problem with the scarves as well, it has Bristol City in big white letters, it's red and white and doesn't have another teams colours or crest on, no problem!

InCider Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Been loads of anonymous users on here for years, well before BS. Never understood why. Still, wouldn't be surprised if some were club employees or from BS. Anyway, glad you enjoyed the scarf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For once I agree with you. and it could be much worse, we could be in the same position as the gas with a local small businessman in charge, or have a nutter owner who wants to change the colour and badge on or shirts or even the name of the club or worse still wake up and find that Nick has the billion pounds he dreams of.

Red Skin Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Fair enough if that's how you feel. That's up to you. Thought it was just a bit of fun and my kids enjoyed it. I wouldn't write-off the women's team. Train from TM to Parkway and you're there. Tickets are dirt cheap and football on show really is excellent. Watching football and having a cider on warm summer's evening. What's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIDER NOT CIDRE Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I don't see the problem? It said Bristol City on it and it's a great gesture plus it's free! What's wrong with Bristol Sport anyway, it makes financial sense and if done the right way could really create a great buzz around sport in Bristol in general, bringing it all together as one. Doesn't matter if people don't like Rugby say, it's still Bristol. Saying that, I'd go off it if Ashton Gate became the 'Bristol Sport Stadium' for example and City became a proper franchise style club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've made your choice, and that's fine. Has anyone from BS contacted you to tell you it's the wrong choice, or to force a rugby ticket into your hand?

A big fan it would seem too, judging by the 50-odd million he's spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickJ Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Yes my view on UKIP is relevant to this topic you turnips.Stortz - you may be one of them, don't know about you.Cidre - my problem with Bristol Sport is if they had their way our team would have ran out to West Ham bubbles today, and that is just the start of the corporate road to removing our identity.Red Army Faction - good point well made.Chipdawg - read third sentence.Rivered - the Barcelona fan ownership model is very different.

Robbored Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 There is at least one point that I agree with NickJ and that is that "some" of the senior staff within Bristol Sport do have a lack of appreciation for us fans particularly us football fans. They are more sensitive to Rugby fans views than those of ours. The nonesense around todays bubbles idea simply highlights just how out of touch some of these blokes really are.
