cityexile Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 No. I suspect he might be trying to sort it out. If Cotts has gone for it, really, then I am hugely surprised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City have gone along with it and who knows it may even be in the contract for the game now, and even if the club wanted to change it, they can't, until the legal guys have sorted it. Sounds daft I know but why else would something so obviously likely to alienate the fans be festering like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 From their forum.... Re: Bristol City v West Ham Utd (FAC4R): match thread Postby Knighter10WHU on Sat Jan 24, 2015 12:21 pm Are we seriously taking the ****ing bubble machine tomorrow!? What joke football is these days I think is more than likely that City have hired one, probably from a Disco, perhaps we could have some POLE DANCERS as well, we wish!

Phileas Fogg Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I suspect he might be trying to sort it out. If Cotts has gone for it, really, then I am hugely surprised! Me too, he's been around football long enough to know how this would go down. Amazing how they've included him in their justification as if we'd let it slide - he was probably asked some loaded question about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In the Net Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Bristol Sport, West Ham fans, Rovers fans and any other teams' fan on here will vote yes for a wind up so anything above 90% is practically unanimous among Bristol City fans Steady on fella - I clicked the "no" vote. There are some things that require solidarity, and plastic, corporate football is one of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowshed Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Fans should not forget it. Bristol sport are showing their contempt towards their own fans. If people forget it will keep happening. I just do not understand why! The. Club was winning fans back. And yet again the prove what a utter joke and how so far out of touch they are with their "client base" At a recent consultation BS - BCFC were asked about atmosphere/ vocal support, what their ideas were. They couldn't come up with any ideas. They were lost. People in charge now of Bristol City's expertise is in the field of running hotels, they are not fans, never will be.

Slack Bladder Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 West Ham fans on their forum are saying no They think it will play into our hands by winding us up even more. I just think it is ill advised. Come on City, back track on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Dear Bristol Sport. I grew up in a different era of football. I get that you want to create at atmosphere, and although it seems very 'modern', I think the free scarves are a nice touch. Although somewhat forced, if it helps create a passionate home atmosphere then got to try new things. It might be great. But 'atmosphere' at home is not about balance, as if say Wembley might approach a JPT final. This is our manor. We want to create as intimidating a home atmosphere as possible. One sided, tribal. It's not about a party which everyone enjoys, it's a party that we enjoy and get behind. This is also not about a minnow playing a giant. With all good intentions, bad decisions in hindsight can get made. This is an absolute shocker. Respect, if you just put your hands up on this one and cancel it now. Then let's enjoy the game.

Bar BS3 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I totally agree that this is a fcuking stupid idea. However, how many of you have email DL or the club with your opinions, rather than just moaning about it on here..? I urge you all to email and let them know, if you do actually feel that strongly about it. Getting over excited about it on here isn't going to carry much weight.

Cowshed Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Sounds daft I know but why else would something so obviously likely to alienate the fans be festering like this. Because the Head of Bistol sport has no understanding of football fans, and that lack of expertise is shared by people running the FC. At the recent consultation an answer to a question from that noisy difficult lot was incredulous. No real football fan would have answered in that manner.

Cowshed Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 And why should they come up with ideas to create an atmosphere, thats obviously down to the supporters not the directors. Because the are running the show, and their decisions affect fans and their ability to support. Fans asked questions about unreserved areas etc , and its all in the control of the Head of Bristol Sport etc. BS have decided where to house fans, what they can and cannot do. They will alter the fabric of the culture of the club, and are already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
