SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted November 8, 2019 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 I've only ever heard good things about Jerry, which have been mirrored in my own limited exchanges with him over the years. It's very good to have a dyed-in-the-wool City fan in the role, who will see things through supporters' eyes. Hopefully he will be allowed to interact with fans by all available means, including on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 A very familiar face and well known to the fans as a long term City fanatic. Very knowledgeable about the club and friendly and approachable if my rare trips on Cats are anything to go by - he always seems to be the steward even if there's a 10 year gap between trips! Not sure this appointment could be bettered tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Fantastic news, Jerry sounds like a true City man, and should be great in the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Poor Jerry, the guy is a top legend in my eyes and doesn’t deserve the crap that will come his way as experienced by his predecessors. He better get used to replying on here at all hours and to all the irrelevance he will be tagged in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 A fantastic appointment, so happy for Jerry as the role is perfect for him. We fans are in very capable hands. He is very fair and honest and has Bristol City's best interest at heart. Great sense of humour and gets on well with everyone. Except for singing a 20 plus goals striker this is the best appointment the club could have made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 He’s a top guy. He helped a family member out on a CATS trip a few years ago and I’ve always remembered it. Very nice person and is a true City fan. I think he’ll do a fantastic job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 The difficulty with any SLO is that they’re employed by the club so immediately at a disadvantage. Ruffle too many feathers and they’d get shown the exit door. Can you imagine the SLO standing up to Ashton - the CEO and the man who pays their wages? The role should funded independently from the BCFC and as we all know that ain’t gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gasbuster Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 A full time position, it would seem. Packing in his job of 25 years to take up the role. Dont know him personality, but he is 100% City. A good appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The role should funded independently from the BCFC and as we all know that ain’t gonna happen. That obviously is a quandry in relation to the SLO concept for any club and SLO. I would suggest that one way to resolve it would be for the club to offer to work in tandem with a recognised supporters' organisation, in City's case the SC&T, to come up with a mechanism whereby the SLO could not be sacked simply for 'ruffling too many feathers'. That might be, for instance, that the SLO could only be sacked with the agreement of the supporters' organisation concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good suggestion BR but if Ashton won’t agree to such a proposal nothing will happen. I did hear from a very reliable source that the SLO is forbidden to communicate on here.......I mean, c’mon! this is one place where fans have easy access to the SLO.
