At a guess I would say the club gets them for less than half of this, probably about £40 if that. But they are then sold to fans to subsidise the ones given to staff as part of their uniform/kit. This goes for most other items of clothing too. That’s why the stuff is so expensive. Just a guess, but I don’t think I’m too wide of the mark. Coats like this are usually pretty good quality, but not worth £100 imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think if that jacket didn't have a City logo on it, it would be about £30-40 in Sport Direct or Tesco. It's a very basic bog standard jacket. I understand the reasons for producing our own stuff, but the problem is they are selling it for the same price as well known brands such as Nike, Adidas or Under Armour with a reputation for a certain level of quality. I can't see any justification for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see any justification for that. I agree. I thought one of the positives with going in house was that the items would be cheaper as we were cutting out the middle man and not buying a ‘name’. We wanted more control over designs too, this has been hit and miss across all our sports under the BS umbrella. I think the quality has improved this season, but as you say we are being offered coats etc on par with branded items, probably thinking that fans will buy anything with a City/rugby logo on it regardless. Edit: I think we have strayed somewhat from the social media topic...so to get back on track I’m wondering what marketing ploy Twitter will have to get us to part with our cash on coats and other seasonal items/gifts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 City's instagram had a dozen clips from training today. More content than they've put out over the course of the whole season. We want substance not style. More annoyed at the lack of content generally than the cringey twitter feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBW Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Think everyone needs to just go wipe their tears away and man the **** up honestly... They're trying something a little different, some of it will work, some of it won't. WIthout trying it you don't know. Out of curiosity I'm going to guess most people with an issue on how it's run are mid-20s+ in age. Maybe they feel pretty good about that demographic and are trying to pull in a younger crowd too? The face-tattooed model photos of the kits were shit though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I feel the video I have created below is one worth sharing with yourselves. There is major frustration surrounding the social media team and the content that has been produced by them over the past few months, I have tried to be open and honest and give positives where they are due as well as criticisms. The first half of the video runs through content currently being produced by the club and my thoughts on this. With the second half which starts at around 9:20 running through ideas that I feel would bring more value to us as fans. I'm really interested to know your thoughts and opinions and how you would change things in the media department. Thanks KINGERS https://youtu.be/Ncui0KeoSQY Give this guy a job. @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO should forward this video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is 'crying' about anything, just discussing why the club have decided to make our most viewed internet presence so juvenile.

Maybe they feel pretty good about that demographic and are trying to pull in a younger crowd too?# For the record, this was first bought to my attention by two relatives - aged 14 and 21. They find it highly embarrassing. This sort of approach basically hits no demographic - no one wants this. Young people don't visit '@BristolCity' for this sort of thing. They go there, understandably, for news on Bristol City. They have other (genuinely funny) places to go for jokes. Quote The face-tattooed model photos of the kits were shit though Yes!

I did think the official account had sunk to an all time low a few weeks back, when it responded to a tweet telling someone to “grow up,” not exactly professional really. Dave Barton - Head of Bristol City Media - is a Rugby man, worked for RFU and British Lions. Studied at Lancaster, and was Rugby man for Western Daily Press in his early days, covering Exeter and Plymouth predominantly. Joel Osborne - Head of Bristol Flyers Media - is a basketball man - he started the gifs with The Flyers and brought the idea to City last season. Very few disliked the gifs....brought great attention. From Dorchester, went to UWE. A really friendly, likeable guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
