The next step is to not renew but you need everyone to show a bit of solidarity and not just a few people, will this happen I’m not so sure.

lost black rat Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 i suggested earlier all supporter's showing the club a red card 5 mins before kick off and at half time by showing the card you would be telling the club you are not renewing you session ticket or are supporting those who are not . ok its passive but won't effect the team .

Norn Iron Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 If anyone is looking for inspiration, please see the below BBC link. 1963 was not long ago and the baddies were yet again, Bristol management. Until today, I knew nothing about this. Messrs Bailey, Hackett and Stephenson, and even the media, get my thanks for standing up for what is right when something is wrong. What was behind the Bristol bus boycott? - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23795655 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked, initially as a conductor on Bristol buses, a year or so after that battle and with some of the racist bigots who are on that film. It was a time of great change in people's opinions about those who are different to the majority. Lots of progress since then but still a long way to go.

Bristol Rob Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I wonder if Mark Ashton has finished rubbing the After Sun in to Jon Lansdown's back yet and before they start the slide show they have worked on a strategy.... @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO put down your straw donkey that I'm sure he got for you and give us an update.

Dollymarie Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I have an update. The update is there is no update. The Chair of FAN and the Chair of SC&T got a call to say no news from the football club today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone stays in the concourse for the first 10 minutes of the game, leaving bust a banner on the empty seats. It could read something like 'No Disabled, No Children, No Working Class - BCFC 2018'. In fact, a good banner can go viral anyway. 4. Talk to other supporter groups like S82. We are stronger together and can mobilise better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely starting to think the club would be delighted if no-one renewed - can then knock out POTD prices to day trippers who are more likely to spend full whack in the concourse.

Great plan. The only flaw is there has to be some great attraction for day tripping fans to arrive for hasn’t there. If they haven’t arrived in droves for many run of the mill games they aren’t suddenly going to and pay top prices. In an almost empty stadium the best the club can hope for is they save a bit on stewarding and other staff wages. They can then sit there wondering was it ever worth it when they have to start from scratch with another plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Have to say I am somewhat underwhelmed by @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO in this thread. I was under the impression that the SLO was supposed to be a conduit between the fans and the club, a bridge between the two sides when a dispute arose. We haven't even seen signs of a crappy pontoon made out of old oil drums; far less a bridge. Can only assume that he has had his wings clippe.

When Jeremy the chair of the FAN was contacted yesterday, he expressed frustration that no deadline for a decision/announcement had yet been made. That’s all the news I have sorry, am hopeful of hearing something today. I can assure you discussions about the next stage of action are being discussed amongst both organisations.

Matt Parsons Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hi all, As I said the other day, I am monitoring the boards and feeding everything back into the club. Unfortunately I do not have any information to share at this time, however any update would come from the club in the first instance rather than me posting on OTIB. Rest assured I am reading all comms coming in and the club are aware of the feelings of our fans. I'm in contact with both chairs of the SC&T and F.A.N. and was available last Tuesday at Preston and at Burton on Saturday for fans to talk to.
