I just don't don't understand the whole 'losing our identity' thing as we are still 'Bristol City' still play at Ashton Gate and still not in the Prem.... All good - I hope its not too long before you experience the joys of seeing City in the top tier (though I'm certain it'll be different next time round).

Offside Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Seems like an excellent idea to have the basketball arena on the site, especially if it can be used for concerts etc. Hats off to SL. The claim from the fewers that we have become a franchise like MK Dons is laughable. A touch of envy methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnydan Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Looks first class in every respect. Looking at the pictures I sincerely hope our badge faces winterstoke road. Full respect to the flyers and their stadium but to have our badge proudly facing the busy road would be a good touch. Looking at the flyers and ‘bears’ badge, I can see our badge changing soon. All positive in my opinion. Come on city tonight; let’s end what’s been a good day already for us all- On route! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undy English Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Today's news is great for the City of Bristol, for the Ashton Gate development, for us as a club, for the flyers and for local people who get lots of new bars, restaurants and facilities. It must be extremely embarrassing for Marv and the Council who have achieved less in the last 50 years regards stadia than what Lansdown has in 10. If their egos could allow it, I say he should be given the reins to oversee the Bristol Arena project. As for the Gas, their forum reeks of bitter jealously today. Especially the 1 poster who alleges that their 'ground' (for want of a better word) and their 7k fanbase with severe lack of investment and facilities is better than all we've got going on at present. But if they want to stay watching League 1 football with only 1 supporters bar and temporary tents for stands, they can carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv and the council aren't billionaires, have much more than arenas to spend the ever decreasing income on. I guess if SL had housing and transport and refuse and health and etc etc etc to deal with he may not have prioritised bars, restaurants and other such items.

Still wear red. Still called Bristol City FC. Still got the same crest which still says Bristol City. Still got red seats, despite having recently had he opportunity to change that. Still got a programme called "Well Red" Still got the robin mascot. Still got a stand called Atyeo. Still got a stand called Dolman. Still have BCFC.co.uk Now also have "Marina Dolman Way". Now also have an Atyeo statue. Now also have a concourse emblazoned with banners and various nods to our history and greatest players. Now also have an away kit featuring the traditional Robin badge. Absolutely no suggestion of changing any of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has been an open and unanswered question since the redevelopment was completed. I notice on one of those arena renderings there are BC and BR logos above the Bar & Grill and interestingly in the same spot the TV is which still looks incongruous 2 years in with no pictorial side panels of any kind. These are not small things. Its like buying a car with no door handles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDTURK Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 I think I saw a big city club badge next to a large Bristol Bears badge on the outside of the South stand on one of the artist’s impressions.
