Admin phantom Posted August 20, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I wonder if this will go on for 50 pages, including some guess work from Stockhausen and ukrimately end in heartache? Or like last season when those that decided certain flags were not allowed, after much discussion and conversation suddenly reversed their decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 This isn't true there were flags in all 4 corners of the pitch last night a couple on the half way line and a couple of people in black waving them on each flank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 if this is directed at me?? Because I love bcfc, enjoy following them home and away. Good example the last 6minutes of Wednesday night game that's why I follow football. How did you manage to surpress your emotion when we equalised?

Admin phantom Posted August 20, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I can't remember seeing flags on the walls of the Dolman last season. I know there were some hung over the edge , where the construction site was, which obviously isn't there any more. Surely you aren't talking about those..? The other thing is supporters have moved into end blocks of the Dolman stand this season that in the past were able to hang flags. I can only assume that the person who made the decision was referring to the wavey flags on poles (which I agree should be kept to one area) Just go to Wembley for an England game and you'll see flags all over the ground The other strange thing people have been going down the ground hours before a home game for seasons putting up flags then taking them down at a specified time. For the life of my I can't see why Bristol sport wouldn't want more colour around the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Bristol Sport would go mental at the Derby fans at their home game last week Those are in the stand behind the goal. Bristol sport are allowing that. Those are being waved by hand. Bristol sport are allowing that. There are no flags being displayed on the stadium walls in that picture. Bristol sport are allowing that in designated areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Sorry chaps, but this is typical of a lot of threads on the forum. The majority of fans don't give a 4x about flags, and haven't an overwhelming wish to have the concourses covered with flags. Often those on the forum are the tail trying to wag the dog. I know I'll be unpopular, but I say well done to Bristol Sport for supporting the wishes of the majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted August 20, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 but I say well done to Bristol Sport for supporting the wishes of the majority.

Bar BS3 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 So if you don't care, is it safe to assume that you wouldn't care if they were displayed either? Correct. Doesn't bother me either way. I quite like seeing flags up, waved, displayed etc. I think allowing it a designated area of the ground is a fair compromise.

"We have given supporters in the Atyeo some leeway in terms of creating imagery, flags etc in that part of the ground, such as existed in the old East End. There are no plans to allow this in any other part of the stadium". Direct from Dave L. E mails to the Supporter Liaison also included pictures of specific space for flags.

To reiterate DL was asked specific questions regarding flags and the Dolman over a period of months. Pictures of the Dolman indicating where flags could be situated were provided. Flags welcome ..

City fan 1982 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 so those complaining about flag waving didnt wave their free bristol sport scarf above their head in our promotion run in ? or wave a flag at wembley ? i love seeing a colourful ground, with passionate fans getting behind their team. how many times over the years have managers or the club itself wanted fans to raise the roof , or make a cauldron of noise. or worked together with the trust for a re and white night. lots of fans nowadays are organising displays, etc better this than fans arranging meets between various firms for a dust up eh, bristol sport, dave l, a/s police ? i think the club wants to look after the corporates,take our season ticket 6 months in advance ,and sit in silence ala leicester, norwich etc . even fans of watford are organising displays and they are a tame club , aldershot, plymouth get involved, surely the boards of these clubs can see some benefit ?
