southvillekiddy Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I want the Club to promote us Nationally and Internationally. Too many fans from other Clubs think Bristol is a village in the West Country instead of what it is - the 6th largest city in England. We can start by helping the people of Bristol to take us seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full marks to whoever's done that, like the subtle the Suspension Bridge addition and general tidying up. Can JL suck it up and incorporate this upgrade to the badge redesign for the greater good? Come on John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Webster ..... as many goals as Flinty, this season...... More transfers agreed and paid up in full than.....er....... More Premier League opponents beaten last seasons than Huddersfield have this season. We're a bit thin on the ground for positive markers like that this season though.

supercidered Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 I still think the badge is pretty w@nk to be honest. However, the images around the city and the beams on the building and bridge look really good. I hope the ones on the boards have vandal proof stuff on them coz them inbreds from the armpit and ring piece areals of the City will be out with their spray cans.

Yes Bristol is famed for creativity and subversive art. And Bristol Sport have taken paste ups and portrayed it as street art. That is commercialisation - **** even.

I am not sure I understand your post but there are elements of a franchise certainly in the Bristol Sport framework - indicators of franchising. Barcelona has members, democracy and voting which are not indicators. But my point to the poster in question would be due to the nature of modern football in the UK, what is being done has a sense of the inevitable, so what would he practically do to minimise what he perceives to be negative effects.

It is ours in that we (many of us) live in it, the club are here … Personally I would like the FC to be an even more active participant in its community. That would position the club socially and ever more positively, perhaps offsetting the behaviours you note? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BessexRED Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 I laugh when Rovers call us a franchise, I pulled my mates up on it a couple of years ago and asked him to define what a franchise is and how we fall under that category and he was lost for words.
