TRL Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 But it's not even a decision that makes business sense.Maybe it is a clever ploy of reverse psychology to wind the fans up into a frenzy. Surprised the police have not had their say suggesting the club are inciting their own fans. If it kicks off on national tv, there will be only the decision makers at the club to blame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I think this idea was preceded by the phrase "can we have some blue sky thinking outside of the box?" Rejected ideas included Trevor Brooking managing City for the day and Russell Brand playing in goal for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Like I said yesterday when I was shot down by many, this has been an embarrassment off the pitch from the Shambolic ticket allocation to this. Lets hope the team don't follow the trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fun_Guy Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 This shows us Bristol Sport thinks we have no identity, so we have to borrow somebody else's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotham Brow Red Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 We'll done, We'll done. Brilliant. Potentially one of our greatest seasons ever. Such a fantastic vibrant good feeling amongst the team, manager and fans then they make this decision. This is not good and may upset the apple cart. Christ knows what they would do if we were playing Liverpool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Tweet sent to Jon Lansdown, Flint and Elliott... If these Bristol sport clowns won't listen to the fans, at least they might listen to those employed by our club that actually give a shit Tweets to local media may also help show the strength of feeling against this plan!

TRL Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 The history of trouble between wham and city surely tells the club this is a very bad idea. Are Bristol sport run by idiots.

Carey 6 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 You can just see it now, tomorrow as the teams come out, instead of looking at the home atmosphere, the cameras will all be on West Ham fans with their famous bubbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Maybe we're lulling Wham into a false sense of security. In the first minute Flinty will snap Carrolls neck. I'd probably take that to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC1959 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I have been supporting City for near on 50 years and I can honestly say that this ludicrous decision regarding a Bubble machine for Sunday's game is the single most embarrassing, ridiculous and pathetic decision ever - well in almost 50 years anyway! Sunday should be "our" day. Next the club will ask we that we should celebrate if West Ham score! The club seem to be distancing itself more and more from the fans whilst they preport that the fans views are relevant and important this decision proves otherwise.

Ohbasso Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Totally agree with michealrobartes above there are always threads started on here complaining about rediculous little things but this isn't moaning for the sake of it. The club always seem like they're heading in the right direction and then do something like this to upset everyone again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to be accused off over reacting, but like you, this episode could well be one more nail in the coffin for me and City. I'm thoroughly disgusted by this and ashamed of the club.

CotswoldRed Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 The East End in 07 and 08 should tell the management all they need to know about what is required at AG.

SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted January 24, 2015 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Just to add my voice to this. I think it is a daft idea! Daft, daft, daft! Football is supposed to be a contest, not a pantomine! As others have said, I'm afraid it shows a desperate lack of understanding of what makes football fans tick. It's cringeworthy and embarrassing. Let's hope they change their minds. Have e-mailed DL to ask him to intervene on fans' behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Total embarrassment. Why have we got so many numpties with no understanding of football fans making these decisions?

pongo88 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 If this is true (and I stress if), it shows how out of touch Bristol Sport are with the real world of football support. What next, scraping the usual City songs, and replacing them with some Wham favourites? DL, please be the man to save the day and get this idea scrapped.

Puckle_red Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Embarrassing, this and that bloody #CityWave shite. Incredibly tinpot, it's something you'd expect Yeovil to come up with. Not Bristol City. The Bristol Sport chant that was sang at the Telford game should make a reappearance on national TV. Not a clue of the words but I'm sure someone on here will do. I heard that a few lads were singing it. Something along the lines of "I don't like watching Rugby or watching Basketball, we are Bristol City so something or other Bristol Sport...lalalalalalala" I had a giggle at that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it falls flat early, they score early, and we fail to get a foothold then we could easily have anothe free programme against Cardiff situation live on BBC1. Yeah and they will prob now release some tweet bollox saying 'anyone found guilty of throwing things on the pitch will be ejected, banned and given over to the police'. Just don't nark off the support as it could reflect very badly on not just us but the BS management as well. Better judgement needed hope they have learnt?

Bar BS3 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Bristol sport are not showing contempt to their own supporters, that is ridiculous. They are trying to create a family friendly carnival atmosphere infront of a worldwide TV audience. However, this is not a good idea and should be rethought. Stick your bubbles up your ass!
