I'm not asking that aggressively btw, I'm genuinely interested in your thought process here. Your rationale, I suspect, is completely out of kilter with how the internet works I'm afraid. I agree, it's out there now, but we were politely asked by the club to remove any images posted on here, and have agreed to do that. It wasn't just one shirt that was stolen, and until the outcome of any police investigation is known, we will continue to remove said images.

Merrick's Marvels Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 11 minutes ago, WTMS said: Always thought it was Dilton Marsh - Westbury - Wiltshire. A common misconception WTMS. Dilton Marsh is certainly where Atyeo lived for most of his life but according to the authors of his biography 'The Hero Next Door' (who presumably in the course of their research obtained a copy of his birth certificate) Big John was actually born in Standerwick. It's only 2 miles from Dilton Marsh but far enough West to be across the county border in Somerset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not committing any crime by any act or omission by allowing the pictures to be posted on here. #bristolsportknickersinatwistbecauseimagereleasefbeforeofficialannouncement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedYoshi Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 From what I can't see in the non-picture that I haven't not seen yet, those possible hashtags - allegedly - don't look as though they're not #BristolProud, but seem to (obviously aren't really) be two different hashtags that aren't hashtags. #MakingBristolProud on what I reckon might be the left, if there were such a thing, and #Bristol...something(I don't know because I haven't not unseen it) on the right of the photo, so left of the shirt, but actually nowhere as far as I know because I didn't see what nobody else has seen. You can clearly see the edge of the 'g' before "BristolProud", and only see #Bris on the other side. I mean, no you can't. Bollocks, I've blown it. Better get back to sorting the worst crime of them all - the prediction league corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Slight aside - I suspect the monotone colour might be a permanent change to our crest rather than just specific to the shirt. From a brand and marketing point of view, it wouldn't make sense to have a different badge on the shirt to that used elsewhere. You want consistency. Disappointing in my opinion, if this is the case. I don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Our History Lancer Scott was formed in 1996. The company has since maintained a steady acceleration in growth and development whilst maintaining the robust foundations that have underpinned the organisation since inception. Lancer Scott initially built its reputation delivering excellent and high quality construction and refurbishment projects and services managing projects from design and inception to completion. The Construction Environmental division was born. The company then expanded its growth with the addition of Mechanical and Electrical services, swiftly followed by related projects, rebuilding homes, buildings and communities. More recently, Lancer Scott has since extended its expertise into the Repairs and Maintenance Sector delivering enviable levels of customer service, care, quality and value to a vast array of retail and social housing partners. This growth gave birth to the company’s Social Housing (Communities) and Retail divisions underlining Lancer Scott’s commitment to building better communities. The Lancer Scott head office can be found in our original city of birth, Bristol - We also have regional offices in Swansea, Exeter, Truro and Newcastle.

The discussions were between the club and the ST who ultimately fund the forum. The ST then requested it be removed after this. I can see it ultimately puts the ST in a difficult position as they want to maintain a good relationship with the club. I can only remember 2-3 posts requested to be removed by the club in probably the last 10 years. I would say in this case perhaps it was unwise as with social media these days it literally is everywhere else. It is more likely from a commercial aspect with regards to sponsors that the club are frustrated about - remember last years kit leaked on here and in that instance all posts remained.

screech Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Lets be honest, if you are the sponsor and you have paid a lot of money for this privilege, I think most would agree that it is only fair that you get to officially show the shirt first. I also find it laughable that the same people who constantly have a pop at the Bristol Sport franchise are on this thread lamenting that they didn't get to pick which design they prefer, and the funny thing is they wont be buying one anyway.

RumRed Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 From what I've 'heard' I may like the badge actually. The shirt 'sounds' bloody awful. But #'s seriously? Sounds like an A level project, # don't work like that as advertising, have we kids on the government funded apprenticeship scheme in our marketing department? One email to ST holders, would you like a # on the shirt? In 5 mins they'd have known it was a bad idea. They're getting better but still feels disconnected and downright amateurish at times. Ffs a #, a little bit try hard and a little bit like the old men in suits following the marketing kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All understandable but.... ST the clue is in the name, its not The Clubs Supporters Trust its the Supporters Trust and the shirt is out there and more widely available by the second; so why shouldn't it be shared and shown on here; as everything about it and indeed even its sponsor is already.
