That I fully understand , but to now ban any political flags with absolutely no guidelines on what is political?

I understand it isn’t With the club but it was documented within the last minutes, so surely someone from the club or police must of made the trust comment on it?

Could you please pose the question to the club, and if needed to raise to the EFL on what is deemed a political flag? I cannot understand how you can have such ruling without any guidelines at all, in my eyes the LGTBQ flag Infront of the singing section could be viewed as political , again I would like to state I have no problem with the flag but it could be deemed political. I also find it condescending how it is ok for the club to show an Ukraine flag but now saying other flags are not allowed.

Thanks for the reply, didn’t we have a Ukraine flag on the big screens a while back? Bristol sport did do this “Bristol showing solidarity with Ukraine this week. Ashton Gate Stadium, the home of Bristol City and Bristol Bears rugby, was lit up in the yellow and blue of the Ukrainian flag this week.” I genuinely think we are entering dangerous grounds with this, like I said how is a LGBTQ flag not deemed political? Who decides what is and isn’t political, how does a fan find out?

Reading the minutes from the last meeting, What was political on two flags to be removed from both the men’s and women’s game? Do we know? Flags An EFL directive says any flags with political connections have to be removed. This was after a Cardiff supporter was removed displaying a particular flag. Banners of similar nature were also removed at City Women’s game against Brighton & Hove Albion Women ——— Also, we’re going into the realms of what should and shouldn’t be allowed, but couldn’t the LGBTQ flag at city be deemed political? Entering muddy waters on what is and isn’t political, (for the record I think it’s fine)

No, none at all, since first attending Ashton gate in 1994, I can’t say I’ve ever had to piss on the floor. So going back to the point, of 12 years ago, not the old east end when you were a young lad many years ago, but just 12 years ago, where in Ashton gate did you need to piss on the floor?

Where 12 years ago at Ashton gate were you pissing all over the floor? #AnotherPointlessRobboredPost

Robbored doesn’t like facts, it’s probably his memory in old age to be fair, everyone starts to forget the truth.

What would that achieve?

Good spot

"As we embark on our journey towards the Premier League, the unwavering support of our fans is paramount. Renewing season tickets not only fuels our ambitions but unites us as a club, forging a collective spirit essential for success on and off the pitch." - Liam Manning, Bristol City Head Coach

"Winning isn't just about tactics and skill, it's about inspiring others to believe in their abilities and rise above pressure. In moments of adversity, we find our true strength by staying united, focused, and determined." - Liam Manning (ChatGPT was used for this but it does show the above quote from manning is laughable)

**** me what a load of bollocks that video is

It couldn’t have been installed sadly, as it wouldn’t have been able to of been used for football as they wouldn’t recognise it was seats. In short I still believe the club messed up badly with where “noisy” fans should go and now we are stuck in a position with no possibility of any changes being made.

@phantom Found them, not sure how to post pics on here http://stadiumdb.com/designs/eng/ashton_gate scroll down to the 2013 pictures you will see lower half of south stand standing, upper seating From the pics you can see how early ones it’s like the club wanted to put effort into where fans went, standing lower south stand, all along lower dolman, then the newer photos are what we ended up with.

I didn’t attend many of the redevelopment ones, I just attended a couple of what would had been the “standing areas”. From memory there were 2/3 designs, I don’t think the paddock idea has been seen online since the meeting but I might be wrong. Im sure it was held in the Williams stand too, so we’re talking before they got bulldozers out properly. I really liked the look of the paddock idea, it wouldn’t work now as it was at a sunken level so everyone could stand there and the rest of the stand could sit, it would of helped the atmosphere massively as you would have had an actual end and people who were not standing would of been able to join in a lot easier.

I’m sorry phantom but there was official consultation as I was at one of them, there was probably about 40 or so fans there, it was mainly the lads who were putting flags out in the atyeo at the time from how I understood the club talking to them. @Dave L “hosted” it too, he could confirm,. One of the photos shown was explained by one of the designers, and there was another one where a sort of sunken area at the front of the south stand, almost like a paddock or what you get abroad at times, but fans at the meeting were saying it limited the amount of fans if more wanted to stand in the future. Then it appears the club just gave up on anything like that, and here we are.

Oh Robbored, please try to use facts. The supporters club and trust merged in the summer of 2012, around July 2012 Sextone left in may 2012. So how many discussions did you have with sextone while being part of the Supporters club and trust, When the two were not even merged at that time? Your quote is below, you were never directly involved with sextone when you were involved with the SC&T as it simply didn’t exist at that time. ”it was the reason I was given by the late Colin Sextone when I was directly involved in the SC&T.”

I know Silva. I thought he had changed since his ban for being utterly offensive but it seems to be creeping back in again now.

They were housed in the open end as it was the worst stand at Ashton gate, the same as many clubs still employ now when allocating away fans.

You were never part of the trust as it wasn’t formed then, you were chairman of the supporters club for a while. If you want to lie to make up facts, you need to make it believable.

Going back to the point , I’m pretty sure the actual lads within section 82 haven’t demanded to be relocated ? (just spotted James has put up a post explaining from the groups position)

Think that is a harsh on the lads who are within section82 and not the whole standing area, I highly doubt they would view themselves as that.

Phantom, I know I keep saying this but to have discussions when there are no open ideas on what could happen, in my eyes is daft. There are such limited scope on what can be done, the club should be open and go “this is what we can feasible do, do any of them sound good”, then put it out to fans etc. With there being limited options, you basically have the following You make the back of the south stand standing,- 1 you annoy season ticket holders 2 your just spreading fans out move to the upper lansdown - hardly going to be a massive uptake wanting to do that . Other than that, what would work?
