(The pub are) Great club supporters, serving drinking to an assembled mass of noise making monkeys. I'm all for Lee, and their tongue in cheek response to the appointment is par. All things to all people and that. The fact they have taken the time, gone to the expense and remain onside is a credit to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider head Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 All a bit tongue & cheek and it's harmless fun, the pub does it for every new incoming manager since Gary johnson. GJ SC KM DM SO SC LJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So being supportive of whoever the Coach/Manager is the norm for the pub. Would you prefer it if the pub and its patrons acted like others and ignored the existence of BCFC?

Sixtyseconds Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 MCRISK. Take it down. Tin pot backing City. Replace with HOME OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE. Better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was the bit that seemed an unnecessary thing to say. For what it's worth I thought lee was a very tidy footballer who gave many years of good service to this club and quite happy with his appointment. Not knocking them for doing this but the Johnson we trust banner seems more supportive of a new manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another perception is that it is a positive attitude - You will be supported, The same attitude was displayed to Mt Cotterill Don't knock it long, do it right etc and you will be supported.

Cowshed Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 The Lions and a handful of others are the only places who reguarly do anything in support of City. Well done again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted February 10, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 So local pub that has spent hours and lots of money supporting the club, produces another tongue in cheek banner and people find the need to pick up on specific sentances. Our support never fail to disappoint me with their petty digs at others ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's the internet for you, we all end up commenting and waffling (well, some of us more than others) on things we wouldn't even have been aware of before 1992. It just sits here begging for sarcasm, negativity, moaning and cock waving, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
