thatcham red Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 If you can get yourselves up to Forest in good time, you can have a chat with our majority shareholder http://bristolcitysupporters.org/owner-qa-at-forest/ Hopefully we've found a big enough venue, it holds 500.

Roadrunner Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 You would think a new manager would be in place. Otherwise he would hopefully open himself to a lively meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These ones are mostly aimed at exiles, although a lot of fans travelling up from Bristol often attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 12 minutes ago, ontariored said: But not at Ashton Gate. There are practical reasons why. You can only have limited turnout otherwise it would be so bloody unorganised with questions being shouted from left right and centre - an away game suits that - and you probably would have people who would have had one or two many sherberts whereas on an away day people have generally travelled by car or on dry coaches so there'd be fewer who are inebriated and lose inhibitions/show themselves up. He's put his head above the parapet. Well done to him. Yes he could have done it at AG, but there is really no need to. If he had held these at Ashton Gate last season when we were going great guns like last season I could probably see your point more clearly, but he didn't. Even when he could have basked in glory he still did these on away days, I see it quite unfair therefore to suggest he's shirking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 This isn't a new thing, so I am not sure why a few people are bashing him. We (the SC&T) are very grateful that Steve is happy to do sessions such as this, which are mainly aimed at our exiled fans who can't always get to Ashton Gate. I am sure once the stadium is finished, he would be equally as happy to do a similar event at AG. As it is, these events are aimed at a smaller audience, which is why they suit a venue at an away pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbored Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 He definitely done it at AG a couple of seasons ago in the the DEH , as i was stood next to him listening to what he had to say , i think it was circa McIness`s time in charge.

BobBobSuperBob Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Personally - I think this is a fantastic thing that he does and the fact that it actually becomes another chance to complain ?? - perhaps it's me but I find that unbelievable tbh Do people think that many owners in the Championship let alone the premiership do this sort of thing (Especially when it comes at a testing time when many or most would duck it !) Remember this is a guy who clearly doesn't enjoy spotlight / media -?seems a very private , quiet guy whenever I've encountered him Good decisions , bad decisions , good points , weaknesses ...... I have questioned board decisions where I feel fair and SL will admit to mistakes himself Reminds me how lucky we are in many respects to have SL , a real decent man , at the helm Would anyone really want to see SL sell to an outside investor , undoubtedly foreign ??? Be a bigger disaster than 82. IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 "Aimed at Fans who don't always get to Ashton Gate"....what about Fans who do go week in week out to Ashton Gate? get some left over summary on here. I recall that prior to Cotterill's departure David Lloyd was due to do a similar event in the Atyeo which was then canned and not re-arranged Away Fans get Mr Lansdown, Home Fan gets David Lloyd (Nothing personal Dave) Plenty of facilities now at Ashton Gate that can hold 500 people similar to the venue in Nottingham, Pretty poor from the Supporters Club that they are looking after away fans in this manor while Home fans get....ummm...maybe in a couple of years.

Dollymarie Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 If ever the saying "there's no pleasing some" was ever more appropriate.

REDOXO Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Aghast at some of the comments 'no balls' REALLY ! It seems pretty obvious to do this at a home game would he would need a venue the size of AG or limit to the guests, then I suspect some would accuse the bloke of being testicularly challenged as well for not addressing 15000 people which he has done but not on a QnA format. The booze issue not withstanding this seems a pretty good compromise and in my experience the questioning is pretty robust, also hopefully it will get recorded if possible or maybe a transcript.

If I wanted to ask him a question why fork our many pounds to travel to Nottingham to do so? He imo should be doing this twice a season 1 away 1 at home. I know he doesn't have to fair enough. But he chooses to so I am surprised there are not chances for both exiles and locals. I don't particularly want to ask him anything or go to one of these events.

Article states "The bar opens at 11am and Steve will arrive in good time to take questions from fans around 1pm. The place holds 500; however, getting there early guarantees a seat. One not to be missed!" You just turn up and ask your question. There are usually roving microphones that can be passed around the room so that people can ask questions, Steve can respond and everyone can hear everything.

spudski Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 I won't be able to get to this game due to work commitments. However...could someone ask these questions... 1. Was SC released purely down to results on the pitch? 2. Has he considered finding a new backer for BCFC, keeping Bristol Sport and Ashton Gate, calling in some debts and leasing the ground back to any new backer?
