    I know I criticise the shop for , well everything , the range and choice are poor. 
    Just looked and the Bears have a cuddly toy with the Bear logo on it's chest, it's a ******* Unicorn !
    They have a City toy which is a bear, which I guess you can accept but surely it's not that hard to see these things .
    They do have a Christmas beanie hat, and it has the Robin on, so that's a step in the right direction. No sign of Christmas jumpers, which should be an easy one as our logo is a Robin. And no sign of decorations incorporating the Robin , baubles or tree hangers , it can't be that difficult surely.

    The shop is virtually a pointless exercise as they don't even try. Such a wasted opportunity .

    Xmas jumpers & bauballs are in the club shop. City & Bears designs.

    I'm starting to get a bit concerned about Lauren Smith. 

    Setting up with five across the back against a team like Villa was a really negative tactic and ultimately resulted in us struggling to keep the ball up the top end of the pitch. 

    That was a game we couldn't afford to lose in the scheme of the whole season. 

    On another topic, have the rugby lines ever been so evident at a football match before?

    Pitch looked awful with all the white lines all over it. I know there was rugby less than 24hrs prior but zero effort to cover them. Embarassing when you see tweets of how nice the pitch was looking in BS7.

    Not sure what it is about that joe sims I’m sure he’s a nice bloke but for me he tries too hard to be “Bristolian”

    This 100% ….. ive heard the intro to his morning radio show, those put on accents in the jingle “prapper Brizzle Brekfuss”

    cringeworthy.

    I'd say that's a generational thing, but at least the anti-racist sentiment is there. 

    I've always found the notion of colour kinda strange anyway.  I don't look at Ephraim Yeboah and see the colour black and neither do I look at Sammy Bell and see the colour white.  They're just both different shades of brown!  The fact that black and white (and yellow & red) was a social construct by "whites" to assert superiority of white skinned people over black/non white skinned people makes it somewhat strange that we still use the terms black & white considering its history.   It's a great thing that this is no longer the majority view in the world, but considering much of the world is trying to rid itself of its historic ties to racism it's mildly ironic that such an archaic term remains.

    I was a child of the 80's and so grew up with the term coloured being preferred because black was seen as offensive because of the context it was used in - "You black bastard" and all that.  Over the years that viewpoint has swapped over and a lot of people who were adults in that era probably haven't adjusted or see anything wrong with it.

    Interestingly, and maybe confusingly for some, the term "person of colour" is still used without being frowned upon, and is actually considered by some to be a more positive alternative to BAME (source The Law Society June '23).  With terminology changing all the time it's inevitable that people will fall foul .

    Ignorance is no excuse, this is 2023 not 1985.

    Of course we should see colour in people, if we should not, then do “black lives” matter? Food for thought...

    The tannoy speakers in the south stand are far too loud. Downsy’s mic is muffled and the sound is distorted, but still very loud. It’s just noise, mumbled words a lot of the time.

    I was trying to talk to the guy directly behind me, basically having to shout in his ear because of the loud waffling from Downsy.

    It feels like he’s trying to make it like a radio broadcast, he is a DJ after all, the crowd doesn’t need to know that KO is next…

    have you broached the concerns about Downsy, directly at your meetings?

    The official site has a few options, took 30 seconds to look it up all by myself….
