Pooki Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Don't use Newcastle in the Cup as an example of an atmosphere at Gloucester. Get tickets for Bath/Worcester/Leicester then you'll experience a real atmosphere. The Shed is well known world wide, and for good reason. Hartlepool at home in FA Cup 1st round would be a shit atmosphere at City too.... I've been there many a time bud and seen.some cracking games, was merely stating that it reminded me why I like footie so much.. Altho the food was outstanding, I'd rather pay for quality every time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 And do, voraciously. The huge increase in badgers over the last 30 years - up 13 fold - is said to be the main reason for the decline in hedgehogs. That's why Horace and his friends in low places are actively promoting the TB scare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catcott_red1 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Honestly don't see what the problem is here. Its not like the OP has said he's decided to jump ship to FGR is it. He's a Bristol City fan and clearly supports us but likes to watch local football too. Is there such a problem with that? Isn't that what people should be encouraging instead of sitting on thier bums and paying SKY to watch Man Utd. He's merely pointing out the fact that he visited a side a couple divisions below us in the football pyramid and said what a good time he has had and where he thinks the club he supports (Bristol City) can do to impropve their match day experiences. I mean shouldn't the club always be looking to improve it self and make things better for us as fans and if taking note and benchmarking us agaisnt a lower side is the way to go then i'm more than happy to back that. All he's done is try to suggest where his club can improve. If he didn't care and you wanted him to "bugger off to forest green" he wouldn't be on here suggesting how city could improve would he!?

catcott_red1 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Dead right. Maybe some of the suits who are running/ruining BCFC should go to FGR to see how it can be done? They definantley should. I highly doubt many of them have tried our own matchday experience, they just sit in their nice cushty seats. I mean if they actually tried going down under the Dolman, had a pint and some food and even a flutter they would see what the majority of fans go through and what we experience and how poor (in some aspects) it really is. Then after they've done that go to other clubs, both higher and lower and see how they do and what we do better and progress that and improve and change the areas in which we don't excell. I know if the food was better and the booze was cheaper i'd buy alot more of it. I feel alot of people at the "top" feel the club are offering a decent service and value by just re branding the food and taking 10p off but truth is they are not. The food is poor and the price of a pint is very high and if they tried it themselves they would see this. Good food and drink at reasonable prices served by competent and effcient staff is not asking the world in my opinion. Other clubs can do it so why not us too. It would increase the reputatio of the club as well as increasing the revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooki Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 The ironic thing about all of this thread is if the op had not been a city fan I myself and my son would never of been either as he took me to my first game when I was about 13 and am now 41...

KevP Posted November 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Folks...Im the OP...I'm sat here wondering what the F@ck I bothered posting for. As Pooki says, I'm lifelong City. I go to FGR once or twice ( at most ) a season. I live a 5 minute drive from the ground. I was just sharing a very enjoyable football experience on a bleedin football forum. And making the point about Turley....I didn't actually suggest City could or couldn't learn from FGR....but with hindsight, as some have posted, they probably could !! And for Timothy Bird, you seem to have upset several on here on this post alone so please don't reply, cos most of us can't understand the drivel anyway.

Bristol Rob Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 I thought Harry might have waded back in to this thread, I can imagine he hasn't knitted enough yoghurt in his eco-yurt to generate sufficient money for a new solar panel with which his organic router will draw just enough power from so that he can post a message from his co-op branded lap-slate. Either that, or his body has gone in to shock from the veggie burger and he hasn't left the khazi since the last FGR match. Green tea anyone?

BCFC_Dan Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Before I could travel independently with City used to watch Dursley Town when they were County League standard. Those were the days! I found a load of old programmes from Dursley Town games when I was back at my parents' house recently. They had a really good side back then. As for Forest Green, their situation is a sad summation of the state of modern football really. They got where they are through hard work and good management under Frank Gregan. There's basically no way for a club of that size to compete and sustain itself at that level, though. They built the new ground to try and make the leap but just at the time when the financial world collapsed and the repayments became crippling. Dale Vince stepped in and saved them. Now he's undoubtedly using them as a vehicle to promote Ecotricity, but at least they have a competitive team. The question, as with Lansdown at City, is: in what state will he leave them? I don't know what the situation is with ownership of the ground there, but to my mind if they own it, they'll have a chance of self-sufficiency, if not at the current levels of expenditure.
