joe jordans teeth Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 What do you think the natives in Manchester think about the Manchester being dropped from United,seems fine to me seeing as there is only 1team in Bristol and the whole country knows who it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rizzle Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'm no anti Bistol Sport person but those warm up shirts are a bit weird! Why do they just say Bristol? Are they going to be warming up in them all season?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowshed Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Don't like it, and would hope that Supporter groups will be asking Bristol Sport what the objective of ideas like these are along with the Dolman seating identifying now solely Bristol.

Cowshed Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Still Bristol South end in my eyes,never forget your history wolf And some of its favourite sons came from Westbury in Wiltshire.

Cowshed Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 What's that got to do with anything,you can dippy who you like wherever your from still born as Bristol South end It is very simple. Older fans will remember Bristol City positioned itself as the Pride of the west. Some of Bristol Sport's positioning of BCFC looks to be quite different. You can dippy who you like ..

cidered abroad Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 We are Bristol City Football Club! I understand SL and his dream that many sports clubs in the City of Bristol will prosper with his financial and business help. Selling the name of Bristol to other investors will aid the realisation of his vision. But while agreeing with his ideals, I believe that the best way to "sell" sport in Bristol, is to highlight the full individual club names on all equipment and merchandise. All the clubs must retain their separate identities and by doing so, the sum of all the parts, will become better known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendip City Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I notice that the rugby club have the same "Bristol" logo on their training kit... but with their badge. Who on earth would sanction dropping City from any merchandise. And another thing..... doesn't that training kit all look really naf and cheap?

Fjmcity Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Will will never be just known as bristol. It makes no commercial sense to drop city from our name as it has been for years and years. They do know that at bristol sport. Bristol sport is the umbrella, with many clubs beneath it. The city part helps identify us as the footballing arm of the wider picture. I can't understand why people are getting so upset at a training top. Though it is Abit of a naff top, I see city's crest, and the word bristol, which indicates to me 'pride of bristol' you may not see the word city placed in the bottom of the dolman anymore but who cares, the word Bristol along the top indicates the fact that we must respect that two teams, owned by the same man now do play at Ashton gate so to a certain extent we must be inclusive and just having Bristol there covers both teams, the seats are still red. Things change, this is a business and Bristol sport and the rugby ground sharing help us more than they hinder us so stop finding every little thing to get upset about and trying to find something to rally against.

Spike Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 I don't see the problem, we're Bristol City but I think Bristol Sport's plan is essentially to corner the sporting sector of Bristol, by taking control of "Bristol" it's almost as if we're making Rovers less important to Bristol. I think there is some very clever business psychology going on, showing Unity between all of these different sports within Bristol but essentially leaving Rovers out in the cold. That said I could be reading too much into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Hull Tigers ? No thanks Bristol ? No thanks Don't mess with history or expect a huge revolt. I don't think SL is that stupid. All seats will be red come the start of the season or are shown to be on all renderings and rightly so. We are waiting, still, for Monks to confirm it.. Monks?.. where rrrr uuuuu ?

I think there is some very clever business psychology going on, showing Unity between all of these different sports within Bristol but essentially leaving Rovers out in the cold. That said I could be reading too much into it I have a horrible feeling that is exactly what SL is trying to do, and I think it would be a mistake on his part. I am 50 years old, and in my lifetime I would guess we have finished above you in a league table 3, possibly 4 times? Maybe not even that , and the chances of us finishing above you again during my life are pretty minimal, and to try and get rid of a rival that really isn't much of a threat is odd. I think 'Bristol Sport' is doomed to failure. There may well be football fans who like rugby, and vice versa (not forgetting the swathes of basketball fans) , but I think fans of each club want to follow them as their own independent identity and not as some manufactured brand.

I partly agree with you, it is unlikely football fans will become passionate rugby vans and vis versa, however, as a casual Bristol Rugby fan I am more likely to watch them now they are in the Bristol City family and play at Ashton. I only went to the Mem 3-4 times to watch Bristol but especially if there are deals for BCFC season ticket holders I will watch Bristol Rugby more frequently at Ashton.

redfred Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 You sometimes have to wonder if the club are on a wind up when they do stuff like this? More likely is that there is a genuine agenda to brand us 'Bristol' and along with the seats in the Dolman there is a clear indication of what Bristol Sport want Bristol City to look like going forward. I think the Supporters' Trust need to be asking some serious questions of the Club right now and its intentions for Bristol City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
