SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted January 24, 2015 SC&T Board Members 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. The Supporters Club & Trust made its views, which reflect those on this thread, known by e-mail earlier today to Andrew Billingham, David Lloyd and others at BS / BCFC.

Bar BS3 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 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 the can and cannot do. They will alter the fabric of the culture of the club, and are already. I thought they were being extremely accommodating to the "east end culture" They could have charged them full price and said no standing, but have bent over backwards to look after them.

City Rocker 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. Good, balanced post, that. Accept and understand a mistake has been made, reverse the decision, learn from it and move on. No further recriminations or hang-wringing will then be necessary. Job's a good 'un. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope you are right Marie and if this is Billinghams idea he needs to apologise, he's already alienated a lot of supporters for his lack of atmosphere comment.

BCFChris Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Its as though we are already resigned to losing to the all mighty, all conquering, all majestic West Ham, and that we should be pleased that their players are gracing our pitch. **** off!

NickJ Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 The decision was a poor one but if they listened and changed their minds surely thats a good thing and time to move on ? (if they have changed their minds of course)I didn't say otherwise, just predicted what will happen.Although I have to say this won't be the last time Bristol City or Bristol Sport or whoever runs the show these days alienate the fans - its just our good fortune that on this occasion, with the scarves, they gave us a ready made opportunity to embarrass them if they went ahead - I wonder if they would back down otherwise.

Phileas Fogg Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Reading into It - I think this was going to go ahead until this reaction.

Cowshed Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Thats just your spin on things, no point in debating it. It is Mr Billingham fans will be meeting in future regarding unreserved seating. Mr Billingham is the head of Bristol Sport, as pointed out before Bristol Sport were never there just to run the shop.
