REDOXO Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 35 minutes ago, chipdawg said: To be fair, that Emmanuelle woman does say she likes the buzz on match day and people chucking litter on the ground pisses me off whatever the context- the club should probably take a bit of ownership on that IMO. But I kind of think that if you don't want hear bad language/get stuck in traffic/have any fun on a Saturday afternoon, don't go near a football ground and certainly don't live near one Pretty much sums it up. Thought it was relatively harmless stuff. The Natch Wall is what it is and long may it live on, however a couple more bins and everyone including those of us leaning against it, the club and the shop keepers selling the booze and fags taking responsibility would help!

Phileas Fogg Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Getting a bit embarrassing on that page now. The lady who started the page is being polite, open to discussion and being pretty reasonable but a few of our fans are making stupid points and a couple beginning to be a bit nasty. Arguably comes with the territory of putting the page on Facebook but a bit of reasoned discussion about concerns she has isn't a problem. Don't give people more ammunition to dislike the club.

I'm not sure what she expected it to be like, living next door to a football ground. There weren't any incidents or damage, just the sheer mass of people and cars to which she objected. I'm going to buy a house by Bristol Airport and then start a Facebook group to complain about the noise of the aeroplanes. An American tourist in Windsor was overhead commenting that she thought the castle was wonderful, but couldn't understand why the Royal family built it right on Heathrow's flight path.

Offside Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 My closest friend and his wife & young kids live just off North St. They aren't football fans but they like having the ground in their local community with fans using the bars & cafes. They also like hearing the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmers Green Red Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Just had a look at the FB page ... whilst I personally think that she may have been naive not to realise some of the consequences of living close to a football ground, her tone and content is polite and respectful, so not sure why there is ill feeling here.

Spreading a screenshot from 606 that did little more than criticise SC to peddle his agenda about shutting down Otib. Strange guy, why does he hate the forum so much? Has he been banned or something? He's writing some ridiculous things on the FB page. Embarrassing really and a shame as it appears to be representative of BCFC supporters who on the whole are a great deal more articulate and balanced than he seems.

I don't really understand his issues but it goes back to some posts made on here a few years ago that if I'm honest should have been removed but unfortunately we're not reported as far as I can tell. I don't have a problem with disliking the place, it's a marmite kinda place for sure but heck if it was closed the discussion would on continue elsewhere so I don't really get the shutdown ideology.

Nomad Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 I'm reliably informed that this 'noise issue' was debated on Radio Bristol late last week. Turns out is had nothing to do with the AG rebuild and was in fact British Rail (or whatever they are called now) working on the P'head to TM line.

CotswoldRed Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Blame and whinge culture. Professional hissy-fitters - I've met many. The pragmatic view is - unfortunately there was some noise but it's unlikely to be a frequent issue. I'll let this one go. And it's for the greater good. The way some people act you'd think they really believe the workmen were just hitting the steelwork with spanners to keep the locals awake.

In fairness when the group was totally open a few people were just going on there writing unnecessary personal comments to the page creator. I think though if they can, they should set it so anyone can read the posts even if they can't write until accepted into the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
