Dr Balls Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Makes it a pretty good weekend for Bristol Sport... Next thing we know, someone will be posting badminton on here. You heard it here first! And there was I thinking that we are a football forum... Actually a great shot, and if SL could give us a top tier ice hockey team I wouldn't complain, although they would need a much better name than the "Pitbulls'.

Unan Posted February 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Thought it'd be a refreshing change, you've mentioned it not being about football so created a paradox as now that in itself makes it football related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of work those guys have put in to keep Bristol ice hockey alive after losing their rink for development is astounding (travelling to Oxford for home games, having to travel to Oxford and Birmingham to practice as that was the only place they could find ice time), they have won promotion from Division 2 but turned it down as they didn't have the facilities in place due to having to play in Oxford. Hopefully they will be home in Cribbs Causeway soon and can kick on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many others would have given up. I just don't like their name - don't like Pitbulls as a breed, and it has nothing to do with the city as such. A bit like "Rovers"!!!

BCFC Grim Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Um was that a pitch invasion? I expect sanctions for that ridiculous behavior. I look forward to reading about that on the front page of The Post. ( Not that I buy the shit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that and it's a shame they play in blue as well!, the name's just an Americanism I guess (although I do prefer Pitbulls to the former Bulldogs and Avon Flyers names) Main thing is to try and get them playing back in Bristol, which hopefully will happen within the next 12 months!

First saw hockey when I worked and lived in Cardiff. The Devils used to get 5000 attend their games in the early & mid 90s played on Sunday early evenings. Helped that they were winning the league! After that moved to Canada & would occasionally manage to get a ticket for an NHL game. So fast and furious, plus great atmosphere especially when I got to see Vancouver beat Calgary 6-0 first game of the season a few years ago. Still trying to think of a better name than the Pitbulls. Bulldogs was the speedway so no good. Bullets is the American Football team. Bristol Bombers is the Lacrosse team apparently! So how about the Bristol Beaufighters? Sounds pretty tough and has local relevance being a plane made in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
