I am the third generation of City supporters in my family and I myself have been supporting for 55 years. This is no longer BCFC but Steve Lansdown's club. In fact, Steve might as well dismiss the other board members as its a dictatorship. Watching the GT interview this morning (replay in Canada) has made it crystal clear for me. It's not the same club my family has supported all these years. It will be really hard for me to find the same emotional attachment to a club but my present emotional belonging to this club has been damaged beyond belief. What I find ironic and dispelling is that the Gas supporters seem to be able to get a voice with their club. Everything between the two clubs has been turned on its head. Anyways, I wish everyone the best and enjoy your football and your football club. Bye all... bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to you Steve it well and truly is your club. Disgusting comment! I am very happy that City won today but, apart from more chance of staying up, it changes nothing of my opinion. I will save my continuous moaning for another day so you can enjoy the victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it. Harry Dolman was loyal to his manager during the early 1970's when things were not going too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 It's Steve's toy. If anyone wan't to play with it you have to ask for Steve's permission. If we all drank with Hargreaves he would have been dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us pay a higher percentage of our hard earned cash supporting the club than he does. His interest alone is more than any of us will ever see in our lifetimes.

Antman Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 16 minutes ago, Robbored said: Not the most endearing thing to say publicly but he's absolutely right. No he's not. he diluted the share ownership of the club very early on, effectively squeezed out any other share holders - even getting the fans to buy into the club, just so he could wash that away as well. i have been consistent in my opposition to the way he has positioned himself, from day one it looked dodgy. He isn't the business genius he thinks he is, HL is one thing, this is another, and to ignore the social and emotional engagement with fans is a ******* huge mistake. The club is a part of the landscape of, and 'owned by' south Bristol, not a arrogant rich mans toy. He can **** off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, it is daft to stop following your club because you don't fully understand the project - listen to the interviews and enjoy the result today - we are really not that bad!!

The reaction of a man who has taken some hefty criticism on here and none of us like to be criticised unless it's constructive and in SLs case "constructive" does not apply. He's been pilloried and no doubt is pissed off about it. I know I would be.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to say I have never disagreed with you more. It's all relative. Say for example I have £800 spare money a year, money that I have left over after bills are paid other stuff that might come up, spare money for hobbies. My season ticket is £401 so that is half of my spare money gone on football. The rest of it will probably go on football too, Cup games, a shirt, travel to a few away games, so all my spare money could be spent at the club. Does Steve put in all his spare money, or even half ? Yes I agree he has invested millions, but not to the extent that he has none left. Infact by developing the ground he has that as an asset, while all I look at are memories and last season's shirt at the end of the season! Like I said, it's all relative.

JHAGa Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Love for some of these fans who are remonstrating so much to have a chat with fans of clubs like Blackpool, Coventry and Leyton Orient. I have criticised SL and the board for some of their decision-making in the past but you cannot question SL's commitment or desire. Well, you can... it's just very silly to do so, in my opinion.
