Bristol R*vers dustbin thread

[BCFC11]

Little snippet taken from BP from earlier this week....

Monday's training session will be held in the early afternoon, but the club – which has security staff on site – has urged supporters to stay away to protect the players' bubble.

They actually put security on site at their new ‘training ground’ just incase any of their dribbling moron followers showed up wanting to catch a glimpse of a couple of pitches and the physio’s portacabin

Now here’s a proper training ground (that is actually being completed) 

Enjoy Sags

Anyone else notice that the former Sag manager Cockman has been sacked at Mansfield? Won just 4 games out of 27. What with Garnerball only winning about the same amount - they really do have a reputation for appointing shit managers.

Long may that continue! #mindthegap #readtheleaflet #freebet #mansionbet

thats not quite right BR, it is actually a perfect fit with regards the quality of their managers. all their managers are quite good at keeping shit shit,and if it aint shit,they soon turn it into,...well, just shit

How dare they only Label ‘da famous quarterz’ as a Classic.

Ask any Sag and they’ll swear blind that their kit is ‘Unique’.

UWE with todays piss boiling antics for our friends over the river - the stadium site at UWE is to become a car park.

Cue several sags writing to Bristol City Council claiming that they “never” get any help from them & that they “always” help us..

[Midlands Robin]

To us it's just a car park, to thousands of Sags it's where they stand when locked out. 

Maybe this is a sign that the UWE stadium is still going ahead after all?

We need to produce a lexicon of fewer terms and when they were first used.

This may not be the popular view but Mansion Bet seem to me to be the most tinpot sponsor we've ever had. I love winding up the Fewers I know as much as the next person but personally I don't see the point in dropping leaflets through letter boxes in North Bristol that can easily be taken as inflammatory by the less emotionally stable Gappers and are, in reality, just childish gloating by Mansion Bet on our behalf which lacks class and isn't needed when the facts speak for themselves anyway. Add in the ridiculous radio adverts with the detestable "fake" Bristolian accents.......just employ a Bristolian to read the script you total bellends. I would 100% bin any association with them as soon as possible...........but presumably all of their actions are clearly endorsed by the clowns we have running our shitshow.

Won't get many agreeing with me but that's my take on it.

I live in Little Stoke (so North Bristol), lots of City here mate and loads on bus stops all the way in on match days. 

I would humbly suggest, North Bristol is now RED!

You will know that better than me. I still think Mansion Bet are tinpot with this "campaign" endorsed by the likes of Ashton and Junior which makes them just as tinpot!!

I agree with you , I think our club should be looking into better communication with their own fanbase rather than ‘winding up’ the blue few. We comment on them being ‘tinpot’ but these leaflets are. It doesn’t paint us in a good light in my opinion. Use the marketing as a way to increase fan base. I have no objection to the bus stop adverts but an advert which has been signed off by our club is childish

The highlighted bit sums it up for me. If I'm honest this would appear to be something sanctioned by Junior, I could be wrong, but whoever it was that sanctioned it at Board Room level clearly isn't up to the job of running a professional football club at this moment in time............although that's not exactly breaking news tbf. We saw what our "Senior Leadership Team" had in their locker a few months back!!

Opinion based upon previous childish Twitter activity which could, of course, be wrong. Which is why I used the word APPEAR...........I'm sure you have enough about you to understand that. Whoever sanctioned it, whether Junior or someone else, was silly and certainly not fit to run a football club professionally just now in my view. It's about as childish as you can get from a professional football club. Leave rivalry and wind-ups to the fans.......who do it far better anyway.

[BanburyRed]

It's certainly making publicity for Mansion Bet, just what they want....the more the Saggies bleat and moan the more coverage Mansion Bet get, and the more exposure we get (incidentally) along with way - well done Saggies!

Would this not solely be down to Mansion Bet?

Obviously they are using us to promote their business, but I'm not sure our club would have had much if any involvement in another businesses ad campaign

I do wonder if Mansion Bet are doing similar campaigns in areas around where they sponsor other sides?

I would expect the club to have a say in the Mansion Bet advertising campaign as the vast majority of the material being used is club owned copyright and image rights for a start.

Surely any wind up of them is worth it. Strange that you are complaining !

Disagree. Wind-ups are for the fans (such as this very thread) not for the club or it's business partners to get involved in...........in my opinion obviously!!

Did you say that when we signed Matty Taylor, and Johnson said "It'll be a big setup in standard for him"? That was a classic wind up.

That was a great day btw

A throw away comment like that is one thing and that's fine for me. I thought the Bus Stop ads in Horfield were probably right on the edge of acceptable although I'm not sure I would have bothered myself. Leaflets posted through people's doors with banter you have to think has been sanctioned by the club included...........would be better if the club stayed out of that type of thing I reckon.

[GrahamC]

I don’t bet, never have, never will.

I put loads of stuff like this, pizza delivery flyers too, straight in to the recycling.

I think the likelihood of some gashead who bleats to Bristol Live about it (yet says they are a problem gambler) actually using this company is remote.

There is a wider debate to be had about the betting industry in football, but also one about teams being owned by regimes with horrendous human rights records, Chinese influence & Russian Chairman who have stolen massive sums from their homeland then taken up residence in the UK, too.

I’m not holding my breath.

To me it looks like the sort marketing and humour you would expect from Paddy Power. Maybe Mansionbet are trying to copy them?

We don’t know exactly what the club have ‘sanctioned’, it’s possible they were asked and said “yeah fine with us”, they may not have been told the exact content (may have just been described as ‘light banter that would appeal to our target audience) or they may have had no involvement whatsoever.

Betting on shirts to be stopped in 2023 isn't it? We got one last betting sponsor in before the ban I thought.

Sorry, but you say that JL is childish in making some of his tweets, then resort to calling him Junior.
