Bristol Rob Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I'm just disappointed that Harry never broke out his best dance moves. Having drunk with him for many many years, I can assure Section82 that if you were to undertake a rendition of 'Sheriff Fatman' he'll be unstoppable.

Super Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Was very good noise at times just ignore the stewards Harry. Did have to have a word with the bloke behind who was referring to most people as C***ts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Or Reef 'Put your hands up'. In fact, if there was a 'Strictly Come Atyeo' dance competition, he'd be the bookies favourite. SEEEEEEVEN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant effort from all in there, she absolutely loved the atmosphere and delighted my good lady all day yesterday by endlessly bellowing out "Frankie Fielding's in the building...". Keep up the good work Harry and all, it makes a huge difference. Were you bouncing the little girl on your knee in time with the chanting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Was shocked and appalled by your antics on Saturday Harry. Noise and atmosphere has no place in a football stadium. More like a zoo if I'm honest. And all that running up and down might wear the yellow paint off the steps. If there was a fire we'd be doomed. I'll be moving my ST to the Dolman for a far better experience of sitting down so I can watch the game in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She thought the singing and flags were brilliant and, to be honest, in terms of the experience of her first match, more than made up for the defeat. So, match that up againts jobsworth stewards and see just what a benefit an atmosphere like that can bring to the Gate. Great effort all round...

Aizoon Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 14 hours ago, Harry said: Sadly the stewards decided they wanted to speak to me and advise me that I shouldn't be running up and down the stands trying to gee people up to sing, and that we shouldn't be carrying the Flint/Fielding two-poles around the stand. One steward (our bespectacled friend) advised me that the police were watching me. My behaviour was apparently not conducive to health and safety regulations. After such a positive meeting on Wednesday with Bristol Sport, unfortunately the same attitude is still not being adopted by the stewards on the Saturday. So, thought I'd better pop on here and apologise to anyone who didn't appreciate me and the other lads trying to generate noise yesterday. How selfish of us to behave in such a manner. Don't worry, won't happen again. Next game I don't want to be threatened with ejection so I'll just sit down and shut up. Do the stewards ever listen to anything Bristol Sport says or are they all sad little Hitlers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted December 7, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 13 hours ago, Harry said: Forgot to add. Our bespectacled steward friend, upon me stating that the atmosphere picked up when we were moving around geeing it up, came out with this rather inane statement. "You don't see Liverpool fans having to run around the stand to sing". My response needs no explanation..... He is continuing to be a prize twat ! Was he stood by the stairs in the Atyeo - from A block noticed a steward that seemed to be fixated with a certain area of the stand - seemingly continously talking into his radio and pointing across I did like the dance moves with the flag, it was one of very few highlights from Saturday !

Leroyfromthestart Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Great effort Harry, really rallied the rest of us into getting behind the team. I really hope you can continue to do what you're doing, you're not doing anything wrong in my eyes...surely this steward in question wasn't being serious? You've proven yourself to me and many others more than once this season (I remember your witty banter at the Fulham game) that you command people's respect, I seriously think if given a megaphone you would get even more involved further afield beyond section 82, got to be worth a try hasn't it?

Chessels Chap Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 19 minutes ago, Red Right Hand said: Or not! She's a Bristolian, who else is she going to support?!! There is a serious point here as well - she went as part of her City 7's membership (great initiative from the Club) and was captivated by the colour and atmosphere. It plays a huge part in the match day experience and Bristol Sport need to ensure that the stewards are trained to recognise that too. She also couldn't quite get her head around why our fans were so noisy and Blackburn's so quiet despite them winning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Sounds like she`s going to be a good one! You`re right though, one officious git telling her she`s doing something wrong when she isn`t could easily put her off again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacker Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I don't wish to drop any particular steward in it,but I would like to ask how,in these times of heightened security, did two people manage to blatantly flaunt an established football law of the land?Just how did those two ladies manage to get to the back of the Atyeo still holding their pints of beer?

cider head Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I would have thought after last weeks meeting with Bristol sport they would have reminded the steward in question that this is a relaxed attitude part of the stadium and to be fair fans did avoid bringing the subject up at this meeting about the stewards it was Bristol sport who asked after hearing about the problems.

Ohbasso Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Most of the stewards seem fine but that one with the glasses as mentioned before always seems intent on causing friction between the fans and stewards, couldn't the club just move him to another stand?

Keep up the good work Harry and all, it makes a huge difference. Thanks to all of you for your positive comments, and don't worry, the noise will continue. I wanted to pick out Chessels Chaps comments though. It is exactly this reason why we need to carry on doing what we are trying to do. When I first attended Ashton Gate in the 80's it was the atmosphere, banter and camaraderie that got me hooked. I'm sure we all have different reasons for loving the game but I'd imagine for a lot of folks, the noise and vibrancy is one of the top ranking reasons. Without it a football stadium can be a rather dull place. I love the fact that Chessels' little girl had a great time. This is what it's all about. Have fun, make noise, enjoy ourselves and hopefully encourage others to support our amazing football club. I just wish the authorities could understand this, but it's a constant uphill struggle. The battle continues though, and we will prevail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BellsLeftFoot Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 My favourite on sat was the guy in the hirerite top...Ian Brown style dancing, he was loving it!. I stand at the back of H block and it was the best atmosphere since the east end. as an aside, if we want this to grow then one area a lot of us could help with is financially...when buying some stickers, chuck the guy an extra couple of quid as It all goes into funding the flags and stuff. I am really loving the effort put in at the moment ...fair play lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
