Between heaven and hell Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Monday April 6th Swindon Town at home If they think they can ban the Ultra flag let's give them a day to remember. I call on all City fans if you agree with the Ultra concept bring a flag along bearing the words Bristol City Ultra's on it. Remember this is about atmosphere and freedom of speech, we will not be told what we can and can't do in our ground by Bristol Sport. By the way I am not a member of any group be it Bristol Sport or CSF orientated, I am a totally pissed off bloke that is fed up with being told what to do.

Lack of Action Man Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Choose a new name, an original name that isn't copying European super fans. Create something from this episode that is culturally significant to our own club and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Create something from this episode that is culturally significant to our own club and move on. From the Parkend Ultras and Ultra fanzine in the nineties to the anglocized ideas in the Eastend post 2007 it can be argued that the term is more culturally significant to what was our club than BS is.

SnozRobin Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Move on. One of our best seasons for years and the feel-good factor is back - some people (especially city fans) are not happy unless they have something to get angry about!

Before saying move on my friend just remember we are all supporting the same team, achieving the atmosphere we all want ala palace etc, we will only improve the situation.

No use of the world "Ultra", special painted boxes for flag holders,Hi-viz jackets.What's next?I asked a few days ago for any evidence of any kind of wrongdoing in the EastEnd during the time it was reopened and haven't been given a single example.The ex-EE fans just want to enjoy their football as they used to. Why do people on here seem to be so against their fellow fans supporting City in the way they enjoy.We are all City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I think shoots your argument in the foot is when you have certain members on dishing out abuse to the people who are running our club, Im sure I read one poster call them "spineless tosspots". For some reason Dave Llloyd has withdrew from this forum.....probally under instruction from his bosses....but no doubt a major factor was the abuse and constant jibes he got on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then tell us which ones you wouldn't like banned without consultation? Well it's certainly not looking at flags! I expect when I take my boy in a couple of years he might like the flags though. Five integral things are 1. Pint before the game 2. Catching up with mates 3. Watching an attractive style of play 4. Atmosphere 5. Players putting in effort Nothing on flags or sweets or coca cola. Pretty sure they can't ban any of my favourite things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kermit the Frog Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 If any sort of protest or showing of the word 'ultra' was gonna be displayed, surely the Swindon game would be the worst possible game to do so?! The reason it was banned (in the words of Bristol Sport) was due to voilence and the words association with voilence. Come on guys don't fuel the fire!

It seems to me that recently,for whatever reason, he has been more and more toeing the party line.I know he is a club employee, but as liaison officer I feel he should have come across as more neutral.I do wish him all the best though.

CotswoldRed Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Good effort RedDave. You've clearly selected elements that can't be objectified within the stadium. Lets say you enjoyed a pint in the Dolman and they decided to stop selling alcohol because users of the Dolman might be like those trouble makers we see on our streets of a Friday night. My point is a very obvious one. If something matters to you and it is removed without any dialogue or right of reply then you've a right to feel aggrieved. You clearly feel you have the right to belittle the flags. Yes, indeed you have the right to do that. Hopefully that's never taken away from you.
