Red Exile Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 I don't know Jerry personally but see him at every away match. Good luck to him. Hard to think of a better appointment - supporter who has been to every away match for over 30 years accepts role as SLO...I hope the club appreciate how fortunate they are that he said yes! It would be great if he could post on here...and given how well recognised Jerry will be to supporters it is a bit odd that there was no photo to accompany the announcement on the site. It's a great story for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great story for the club. I don’t him personally either and his profile fits the SLO position perfectly - however imo he’s taken on a poison chalice. The most recent SLOs have been ineffectual in pretty much every way. No authority, no sway and no independence from the club, I can’t see Jerry’s role as SLO being any different but I wish him all the luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerseybean Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 1 hour ago, Blagdon red said: 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. Hear, hear. I don’t know Jerry, however, given the background info in the OS announcement it’s brilliant that a genuine City supporter has been appointed. Good luck Jerry.

Lanterne Rouge Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 A great appointment, top bloke is Jerry. I`ve known him for donkey`s years and he even came all the way down from Dursley to Bridgwater on a cold November Friday twenty odd years ago to come to my wedding which I won`t forget (it was Ipswich away the following day so it had to be a Friday for both of us!). If there`s anyone that I know who`s credentials as a City fan are without question it`s him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up The City! Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Unfortunately I feel that his excellent reputation may be somewhat tarnished in the future by this through no fault of his own. The job is a poisoned chalice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt he will make the role his own, in his own way and I am delighted for him as I've said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 2 hours ago, RedM said: 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. Something like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoons Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 SLO at our club is a thankless task. Our fans want want want. Club deserve credit for this appointment, top bloke and a true fan!

The new SLO sounds like a top bloke and super fan but he’ll find himself dealing with stubborn and unhelpful heads of departments and of course Ashton himself - the very man who pays his salary. The poor guy has little chance of getting anything important done - and far as I’m aware our fans are not necessarily want,want, want. Simple issues like problems with shop or tickets are relatively easy to sort will be pretty much all he gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 The fact they have appointed someone with a life long association of the club and has been to a frightening number of games will mean he is likely to understand a lot of the frustrations people report. Chances are, he has experienced them himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave L Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 An outstanding appointment. City through and through and a thoroughly nice bloke too. I wish him all the best, and I hope his skin is thick enough to deal with some of the nonsense that will be coming his way soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
