Red Tel Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 ....that some of our fans in the amphitheatre booed the Lord Mayor. Perhaps they are ignorant of the fact that the Lord Mayor is the Ceremonial Representative of our great city, and not the same as the prat that wears red trousers, The Mayor.

StGeorge Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 It was done in humour, at his saying he had only managed to get to three matches this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 It was indeed all done in good humour, and the Mayor took it that way. After the Amphitheatre I was walking along the waterfront towards the Pump House when Red Trousers himself passed us cycling the other way. He negotiated his way through a group of City fans behind who told him in no uncertain terms that he wouldn't be in office after the next mayoral election. And that WASN'T done in good humour.

No cries of "He's going in the water!", then? Bristolians have calmed down since 1831 - and 1793, 1932, 1980, 1987, 1992... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe that you've chosen to highlight that one small, humorous episode and use it as a negative to try to find fault with the fans. I for one today was proud to be a City fan, proud to be Bristolian and enormously happy. Nothing happened which has disappointed me, for sure. Btw for you Ragass Rovers supporters reading this, there were at least 60,000 of us in the amphitheatre with another 100,000 left standing by Za Za Bazaar because nobody would move to the right. Beat that when you celebrate promotion to the basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 I wasn't referring to when he spoke, I was referring to when he was first introduced. I didn't hear that, but I was quite close to the stage and had a reasonable view, I also saw the bus leave AG and saw it was the 'proper' Lord Mayor. Maybe if there was any booing at Lloyds it was from people a lot further back who only heard the word Mayor and automatically thought the Red Trousered one had taken to the stage...if he had done it would not have been pretty I'm sure. Great day by the way, so great I don't want to wait 60 years for the next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought, but maybe open top buses are like the other kind - you don't see one for ages then two come along one after the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawberry2157. Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 The players need a huge amount of credit for yesterday as they made the fans part of it, they were the ones who got oskar involved and looked after him. Seeing marlon, waggy, jet, ayling and Alby mixing with the drinkers on the harbour side after was so great, they couldn't do enough. . Seeing marlon with a can of thatchers singing city songs, class! Cotts also, in absolutely no hurry to get to the party and was the last to leave. Just saw a picture of wade with a city fan in hospital and he's off to Oskars house today, they go that extra mile. Hats off to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
