Like when they were in the Basement and they used to say that if they were in L1 they'd sell out their ground every week? Or maybe when we only took 670 to Sheffield Utd a couple of years ago for a 12:00 KO, televised on SKY...and they took the piss saying that if they were in the same position they'd take loads more....

weepywall Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 I honestly thought that Post article was a wind up, its the sort of improvements you may see at a village team in the Mid Somerset league, ive got a suggestion for the box, - - -k off back to the non league where you belong although they are way behind plenty of non league clubs, they are an embarassment to Bristol and football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 A suggestion box?!?! FFS! It's all a bit embarrassing isn't it Balti pies back on sale, captain gas has a new uniform and a suggestion box. Bit of a pi55 take really, either they've run out of ideas or believe a few of their fans are literate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine many of the long suffering have experienced the hospitality options at the Mem. Would imagine they are happier making racist comments from a tent.

It's a bit strange though isn't it that there seems to be more need at your dump to send out these reminders to your fans in comparison to other clubs? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're football club over the last few seasons has had numerous incidents. That have come out in the public. Good for your club for trying to do something about it .

I've suffered the Gas hospitality package. A few years back I was invited by a client, and couldn't really refuse. The meal was absolutely atrocious. The veg was of the diced, frozen variety and was served cold. Halfway through the "meal" all the lights went out in the hospitality area, the reason for which I assumed was someone forgetting to put 50p in the meter. The only highlight was having a pint in the Wellington pre match, which felt like I was on some sort of dangerous spy mission. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
