Initial ideas centered around 1894.... So there’s the history. Straight from the horses mouth. Great post Harry, and much appreciated...however, I can’t believe your initial ideas centered around 1894 - because your branding and merchandise since has declared ‘1897’ - which is not ‘our year’ - here’s some examples ...

Although I can't count on one hand how many times it got my part of the ground going last season. Far too many ultra songs are sung and not enough Bristol City songs. In fact I'd say you sometimes have the opposite effect to what you intend. Sometimes there will be a corner, the SS start to take voice with a traditional BC song and then the drummer and s82 start singing a ultra type song. Totally kills any atmosphere in other stands. Just something for you to think about. I quite liked the EastEnder's name tbh. Kind of felt like you erased a huge part of our history by rebranding to something that in all honesty sounds quite generic. Spot on. The drum is so bad, shouldn't be allowed in a football ground.

Gary Nanes Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 On 11/07/2019 at 08:08, Harry said: At the time we were being moved to the North West corner of the ground, so Eastenders didn’t seem relevant, plus there were no signs that we’d be returning to the ‘traditional’ east end at that time. I also recall there being a very divisive feeling amongst a lot of the fan base - there were many many arguments around at that time about an ‘us and them’ attitude - I’m not saying there was, but I saw lots of others saying so. Therefore it was also felt at the time that something new needed to be established. Under the same philosophy as the ‘Forza Eastend’ movement but with a new identity. But again, it’s just a name and the ‘eastend’ identity is still there and so are the songs. Is it worth us thinking about starting something in one of the corners of the lansdown or dolman for next year? We need away fans to bounce off and we need more than one standing section my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a more natural fit tbh, given the corporates, family area etc in the Lansdown. I have my doubts it will fly with the club but I really have no idea. Maybe the cheaper tickets in E34/old A Block will enable just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This merchandise, as far as I know, was brought out last season, and I had no input into any of this. Not that any of that matters anyway. I’ve given a true account of how we came up with the name.

We've always been vocal up in these areas but sadly lost numbers when the South stand became a cheaper stand to watch from E34 is going to be ruined by the cheaper tickets in that we are going to get the casual fans that have no affiliation with City sitting in there Last season there were a number of games where this was the last block to sell out large numbers of seats together, you would not believe some of the reactions / comments that came from people sitting around here for the first time One game last season I had four young people sat infront of (clearly on holiday from abroad) they literally spent the whole match recording the game on their ipads, and not just the match, when anyone shouted etc they would all turn and record that section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way the club will allow a standing section in those two blocks, let alone throw out all the season ticket holders if they do no want to stand there. Sightlines for a start would start to be blocked, the police wouldnt want "that type of fan" that close to away fans either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTBLUE Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I say designate the whole ground as a singing section,apart from the away section,which would become a no singing,no standing area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club always ask for us fans to bring the noise, they could help the cause themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
