ChippenhamRed Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 11 minutes ago, WTMS said: It is very simple. Clubs all the time tell fans how to support. What would be original and refreshing would be BCFC - BS - Fans working in unison creating a joined up approach to creating a more colourful Ashton Gate. At present while fans are being told you can Citywave other actions are counter productive e.g method statements / risk assessment being required to place flags on walls. Is the flag waving section in the Atyeo just a figment of our imagination then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 hang on, the club have tweeted before, (I think it was by Andrew Billingham, but he seems to be the anti-christ to some on here) about working with fans to make a better atmosphere, did those who are criticising the club for suggesting to fans to do the "city wave" tomorrow because of its "unoriginality" take the club up on this? Or just wait for an opportunity to moan? As an aside, what things can the club suggest that will be original? Or is that just an excuse to have a whine?

It is ironic that fans on one hand are being told to citywave while other measures are preventing fans from creating a more colourful Ashton Gate. It is uneven Bristol Sport once banned flags, now in the Dolman that ban might as well still be in place so lengthy has been the attempt to put even one flag up this season. Bristol City - Bristol Sport by adopting a lets be proactive, lets be collaborative, lets truly attempt to make Ashton Gate colourful would be original.

Donkeeebles Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Looked great at MK Dons. It's been imaginative enough for god knows how many clubs throughout Europe for years but not for us.

ChippenhamRed Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 10 hours ago, ChippenhamRed said: So the accusation is that the scarf waving is unoriginal. The scarf wave is something that pretty much everyone can join in with, is easy to co-ordinate, costs nothing (assuming you have a scarf) and looks visually impressive. Can someone suggest an "original" idea that ticks all these boxes? Still waiting for one of those original ideas that apparently we're all full of.....

The problem is that the anti-BS crowd seem to think they speak for the majority of fans when they dismiss the city wave and bash Bristol Sport, and that we are all bursting with better ideas. Yet it is pretty clear from this thread and others previously that most of us are happy to embrace the scarf thing, or at least don't actively dislike it.

How did the City Wave go? Supporters at Ashton Gate are capable of better.Perhaps at the next Fans Advisory Network meeting you could bring the topic up and think about how a more thoughtful collaborative approach could be more visual.

Missed your post. That is the language that club officials and Bristol Sport do use. Some fans do similar. It all amounts to the same thing -You really want to see a vibrant colourful Ashton Gate, or you do not. 1 minute ago, Selred said: From watching it on TV I only saw a few being waved which was a shame! The point is we can do better. There were also huge spaces which could be filled e.g flags hung up. Fans are attempting to do this but finding barriers are in the way versus meeting a attitude of "We want this, Lets make it happen, DO IT!"
