Coombsy Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 The interviewers always seem so weak and don't challenge responses so the likes of Hamer get away with saying very little and sound so smug and non-commital. We fans deserve a bit more respect and want some real intent announced so that we can believe the Club are not moving backwards. Oh how long ago it now seems when the Jordanians took over and we were all so optimistic! When you say 'the likes of Hamer', who are you blaming? Surely not actually Hamer? He is a (well-paid) salary man, put in place to present the club in a positive light because the owners can't (or won't) be in Bristol all the time to face the press and the fans. I can't say I've ever warmed to the man, but I've realised he's just doing the job he's being paid to do. He stopped the fake-positive stuff, like the landing lights remark, some time ago, perhaps because he and the club were being criticised too much for it. So now he goes for the possibly-fake lower our expectations approach, for which he also gets criticised. He takes all the flak and then has to go home and sleep at night. Which he quite possibly does very easily, because I suspect he doesn't really care too much about Bristol Rovers. Meanwhile the real suspects are content to sit in their air conditioned luxury pads in Jordan and work out how they can rescue or dump the whole project, whilst saving face and continuing to look respectable to their business community.

Popular Post BobBobSuperBob Posted January 5, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Noticed amongst the doom n gloom on Sagchat this post from one of their more sensible posters Sort of sums up the huge gap between us in terms of match day enjoyment How fortunate we are Almost (I said almost) feel sorry for him It has been a bit of a chore this season and I've had my doubts about getting a ST next year. You are right, it's not really even about the football. It's about the match day experience. As I walk in the Mem gates I see 2 poor ladies stood wet and freezing selling programmes in all weather. I make my way towards the Clubhouse bar where if I'm lucky I can fight my way past 100 smokers to squeeze into a tiny toilet for a quick wazz. I take a look at the queue for the bar which stretches back to the door and don't even bother. Maybe I could stand outside in the wind and rain and buy one from the back of a horse box? On second thoughts.... I then think about having a browse in the club shop before I realize that it's inside a part of the ground I can't access after 2pm. And even when I'm early its tiny entrance allows for one person in or out at at a time. Then there is no where to try anything on. Not that they have any stock of anything you'd want. Especially just before Xmas. So I make my way over to the Young Pirates cabin. Occasionally I will buy some sweets for HTY, but normally I just put his name in the draw ticket box in the hope he wins the chance to be the mascot. To be honest I try not to spend too long in the YP cabin, it really smells bad. Once I've done that I make my way down through the turnstile that is so small I have to lift my rucksack over my head to get through and make my way down to the tent end. Oh, what's that? It's another trailer outside in the rain where I can buy a beer.....nah, you're alright. Next stop, the pasty hut. During my 20 minute wait behind 10 people I look at the posters on the doors. Ooh look. Pie of the day is Turkey and Cranberry. That sounds nice. When I eventually get to the front of the queue I am greeted by a young person who is on their first day. (No joke, we have had a new staff member in the SS pasty hut nearly every single week). They inform me that they do not actually have any of the pies advertised and they proceed to list all the food they have this week. Just like the vendor, it seems we have to have new pies every week at the pasty hut too. God only knows why we can't just make a decision on what food to sell. So, I order my pie and more in hope than anything else I ask what the Meal Deal options are. We all know it's out of date cheese and onion crisps and a twix. They never have anything else anymore. I politely decline and then help the server add up the cost of 2 pies and a tea before then helping them work out the change from a tenner. I then make my way to sit in a lovely prefab tent, that's windy and freezing bloody cold all year round. Now I come to think about it, what's not to like? When can I renew my Season Ticket again?

BCFC@Frome Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Not sure if this has been mentioned on here buy this appeared on my Facebook so thought it worth a share. There has been alot of different "memorablia" released following the Man United game showing just how far City have come, but to pass a bit of time I thought we could play spot the difference between ourselves and the blue few. Of all the highlights their ground offers the picture of the window with a carry bag behind it (it could be big roll) is a particular highlight. I have included links to the sight should you wish a better view. https://footballstadiumphotography.co.uk/collections/football-stadiums/products/bristol-city?variant=19793951493 https://footballstadiumphotography.co.uk/collections/football-stadiums/products/bristol-rovers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
