Up The City! Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Preventing fans from entering the seating area from 2:52 onwards. I totally appreciate their want to not have fans streaming in during the service but Ashton Gate is a stadium that fills up immediately prior to kick off. I did hear some safety announcement sounds whilst outside but due to the poor PA didn't hear what was said, it was only when I entered the stadium at 2:50 and was in the toilet did I hear that they were asking people to go to their seats early. With the greatest respects instead of all the crap the club do on twitter they could have spent this week requesting fans go to their seats early. I myself just barged past a steward as did a few others but many were locked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said their was an announcement on the PA whilst I was in the toilet, the 1st I had heard of this request. I immediately went to go to my seat and was prevented from doing so despite the announcement being a minute prior. Had the club had a better PA, had the club used social media or the outside screens to communicate this then I'd have no problem with preventing fans from entering as they would have been given warnings, however we simply wasn't. I barged past because I wasn't going to miss the opportunity to pay my respects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 The club have tweeted multiple times to be fair telling fans to be in early for the minute silence and The Last Post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club tweeted about this this morning and @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO also tweeted about it yesterday which the club retweeted. Haven't checked other social media. Could it have been communicated better? Probably. Was it a completely unannounced thing sprung upon the day? Absolutely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 If only there was a day once a year that we were meant to commemorate those lost in wars, that everyone was aware of and was properly advertised via the sale of poppies and other means. Oh wait. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the bcc bar wwith dozens of others....most over 50.....none of them on Twitter, so no one knew. M Parsons sending a "tweet" is not proper communication . M Parsons = chocolate teapot!

Other than the PA at the game- anounced on the day, as opposed to the day before and a reminder on the day (and also something that was done), what do you propose? A phone call to each supporter on their records, just in case they are going to the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A minutes applause is a known thing, so you'd know to get to your seat early. Thinking "hmm, maybe I should check the club website" on a day where it's known there would be something happening seems a sensible idea to me. 2 minutes ago, Up The City! said: I may have missed it but I didn't see anything on here saying get to your seats early?

It's absolutely common sense for a minute's silence/applause/whatsoever of course yes. But I'd never have expected that you wouldn't be allowed to walk up to your seat in that period, you can still do so silently. I'm not at the game today mind so maybe it was obvious.

ExiledAjax Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 What sort of muppet claps during the Remembrance silence? Sure if your kid or aunty dies of cancer then crack on with a minute's applause in memoriam if you want. But surely everyone knows that armistice day is a minute of silent reflection?

Sorry but you don’t need to stand in the stadium to show respects, if you want to show respect in the stadium don’t turn up so close to kick off. Youre completely making a mountain out of a molehill.

Tomorrow at 11 is the main time anyhow. The stewards need to stop people at some time, even if it’s before players come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
