Answer; Temporary stadium seating Our hybrid seating system is both scalable, offering customers a future-proofed solution, and simple to install – which is a bonus when cash and time constraints are tight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically all Bristolian City fans are subsidising this sponsorship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though us and 90 odd % of League clubs spend money bringing in players which contributes to that loss. Bristol Rovers however sell first team players to Salford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mate but that particular loss making company is bankrolled by Bristol ratepayers the majority of which would prefer that sponsorship to go elsewhere. I think something should be done about this and questions asked of the Mayor. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've certainly had sponsorship from them in the past. They ran a promotion last season for City fans to win a "big day out" and do work with the Bristol Sport Foundation.

That little issue is true of virtually every club. No way should a tax payer funded company, that’s losing money, be able to splash out on vain sponsorships. I mean, I’d be surprised if their new tent even had an electric hook up anyway..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just done something..........I've switched suppliers ! they had the cheek to inform me yesterday that my tariff was increasing, so I've sent an e-mail saying I'm changing as you are sponsoring something that is an anathema to me and you've just lost a customer ! 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in 1982 the council was going to make a payment to Bristol City to help us out in our hour of dire need - until the sags whined that they should also get a payment, so it was shelved ....now they are getting council funding??!!!

freezer Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 On Coral online. I see that the gypos relegation odds are now down to 4-1. That's a significant drop after just one game from 13-2.
