Mkelly Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Hello all I appreciate that our supporters would not intentionally damage our new stand, however, over the last few months we have had to repair / paint / polish some of our internal fittings where stickers have been placed and removed. I know that this may sound exaggerated but the structures around the concessions, seats, the zinc bar in the sports bar and the back of the toilet doors all have a refined finish to them and sadly the stickers to not peel off easily. There is still more to come in terms of legacy additions within the stadium and we are in discussions with the SC&T on how we engage more visual support but in the meantime it would be very helpful if I could ask for support in asking our fans not to stick them within the internal and car park area. Many thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted January 14, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 As something I have heard mentioned elsewhere - would it be possible to have an area "large board" where these stickers could be encouraged to be put? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Really!? Why would you stick them up in our own stadium? Bizarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's loads of sticker designs about and people would be interested to go and look at it. It should prompt more sticker sales which helps the supporters anyway. Would be pretty cool, have a small wall covered in stickers and then put some protective finish on it so they don't peel off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMS Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Mark could boards be sited in the Atyeo end of the Dolman stand (x1) and Atyeo stand(x1)? There would be no cost to the Fc, and they could be put up by fans again - This was formerly done in the Eastend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I can't be the only one wondering why people want to put stickers up on a wooden board in a stadium, stickers that they've bought from other fans from a limited selection of designs to, err, show their support of the club that they want to put the stickers up in. Or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, breath of fresh air and really good for the club to have a voice and presence on here. Well done Mark, it's appreciated. In the past, issues like this may have caused a bit of tension but by coming on here and finding a solution, it appears to have been resolved within a couple of hours.

Three Lions Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Fair play Mr Kelly as pointed out quickly turned on its head Into hopefully a positive. regarding more visual support more of the same could be used as that type of support is generally (??) not much part of the sc&t.

Supporters Trust what does "engage more visual support" mean? I imagine this is a reference to discussions/correspondence about possible ways of hanging flags/banners on the inside Atyeo-end wall of the Dolman and to the wider plans for a potential supporters 'pub' under the Atyeo and how the interior and exterior surroundings of that might be decorated.

RedM Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I do think people respond better when approached with friendliness and professionalism. Here is a good example, polite request and reason explained, dialogue opened and solution agreed which all parties are happy about. Job done. Makes me wonder why has it been so difficult previously.

Forza Revolution Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Thanks Mark. will you be applying for supporter liason officer at the end of the year ?

Lewisdabaron Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Thanks for the post Mark, looks like you have nipped a potential issue in the bud here. I hope to see those boards go up soon, I feel it would be a focal point of a concourse, also a fan-lead way of improving the visual branding of Bristol city FC with the stadium. These stickers seem to very popular at the moment. I know many who like to collect the different designs & make collages in frames, doors & old seats from demolished stands, (like the great pic above) Plus all the money from the sales I am told are used for flags, banners & displays trying to improve the match day experience. Keep up the good work on this forum please Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intent was there to propose similar prior to Mr Kelly's post. Cost isn't an issue, there are people willing to donate materials/money. Next identify a appropriate space - acceptable to Bristol Sport, and do something that does not look shoddy and odd in the surroundings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering if they might need sponsorship but if you can get it all donated then even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via the fans advisory network you may want to ask what "legacy additions" and "engaging more visual support" means. There could be an opportunity for fans to be involved more widely in sponsorship than the usual norms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
