Tim S Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 .... you might catch a glimpse of our new signing! Just spoke to a mate who works at Ashton Gate and he said that there seems to be a little bit more activity than usual happening around the place in some of the departments plus a couple of press boys hanging around and a little more attepmt at keeping things hush hush.... he said this usually happens on days when new signings arrive. Could just be reading too much into nothing but maybe this means an announcement later then??? I'd hate to speculate who the new signing might be though....

I'd hate to speculate who the new signing might be though.... you might be right.... ive noticed on the official site that before a signing comes in the site tends to go quiet for a couple of days prior... maybe to have time to do the write-ups and interviews with said signing... or we could be all just reading into things to much in hope of something?...

In fairness I've noticed the official site seems to have been quiet all summer so far - I hate to say it but I'm a bit disappointed in our media department so far. Ok I know there hasnt been much news to report on but how about finding some stories/news to put on there! Anything that helps the dissappointment that I feel evertime I press "refresh" only to see the same story that has been there since yesterday - even the day before in some cases.

Well the BBC seems to be able to find random stories - here is the BBC doing a feature on how Bradley Orr has been inspired by the Euro's and Sergio Ramos in particualr.... Now I know that its not big news or anything, but its nice as a fan to find out what the players have been up to over the summer holidays - maybe they could do a couple of features on that, rather than just doing the press talk stories.

boadle Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I'd like to see some match reports of training sessons [...] Finally, in the 3rd minute, the deadlock was broken by last seasons signing Lee Trundle. The Liverpudlian sold Fontaine with a deft dummy, evading a small dog that ran onto the pitch, before placing the ball between the two cones that were spaced 4 feet apart, leading to scenes of mild congratulations from the touchline. Louis Carey complained that he was still pulling up his socks, and squirted water at the striker. However, it was the Bristol-born centre-half who had the last laugh, scoring a hat-trick before the game ended, and the teams had to do some shuttle-runs. Then they had some pasta. Final score Red Bibs 14 - 9 Blue Bibs Att: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunningdalered Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I'd like to see some match reports of training sessons that's a pretty good effort although, we do now have our wanna-be official OTIB match reporter (can't remember the name - sorry), so maybe he should cut his teeth on a few training matches (be interesting to see if he realises that the slick passing is due to GJ making the lads play 2-touch!).

cheese Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I'd like to see some match reports of training sessons I suspect the FA or Football League have the copyright and no-one's allowed to print it.

madmax Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 On the day I don't cycle to work and this happens. I remember cycling home last year through Ashon Gate when we announced Trundle as a signing. The car park behind the Williams was packed with people.

I'm leaving work at 4pm and will be getting the bus. I can jump on the 24 and get off at Ashton Gate and walk through. I know it will be more or less over by then but I may get to see who it is. Knowing my luck it will be an announcement of a new sponsor or something! MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim S Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I don't know what it is, I just got told that there is something going on at 3pm..... it could be anything..... could be a medical, it could be an announcement, it could be something completely non-football related for all I know! But 3pm there is something going on, so on the off chance its a signing I'm going to pop down.... if it turns out to be nothing then I gotta pop into the shop anyway!

simon uk Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 sounds exciting, but I suspect it will be an annoucement that someone is going to sponsor the east end toilets or something. Thinking about it though, the membership card thing kicks off on wednesday, so if the annoucement about a signing early this week is true, then I wouldnt have thought they want extra potentially hundreds of people wandering around AG the same day as any big news is announced, which leaves today and tomorrow. Of course it could all be rubbish, and nothing is announced this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampson City Reds Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 This is intresting I thought Metab was coming in at the end of the week perhaps its another signing that we don't know about.

Redhyde Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I don't think it's anyone since the site has the orr interview up, i've not seen it be updated THEN a signing happen. Not that i've studied it or anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that i've studied it or anything... I've noticed something with the official site..... When you go to www.bcfc.co.uk - if it takes you to that first page which normally contains an advert, then nothing updates on the official site. But when it sends you straight to the site, not via that advert page, then normally there is a new story on there within 20 mins or so. Its almost like when they are working on the site, updating it etc then it bypasses that first page. I dunno if any of that has made sense?!? Well I noticed it anyway!!!!
