fatchers Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 He was brought up in Lawrence weston before moving to Easton. His adopted mum is white and apparently got him from a home in Devon. He's supposed to support Bristol Rugby. Nice bit of fence sitting there then Mayor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman is not exactly heaving with black guys from East Bristol.. Sure he is originally from Lawrence Weston, still not natural City territory but the wife is from there and she's a red!

slades_291 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 If it's any consolation it appears from OTIB's own sources he supported the stadium at Ashton Vale... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin1988 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Cast off as a waste of time after three days because he supports Arsenal, probably like a large proportion of Bristol. Is that an OTIB record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're correct, growing up I can remember seeing him around wearing a Bristol jersey more often than a football shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite old enough to remember how badly they dealt with Brunel _ but that tells you everything about lack of wits. How any Bristolian can support Arsenal is totally and utterly beyond my comprehension. Best we can hope for is that he keeps as far away from Ashton Gate as possible! Actually, I am hoping he does visit Ashton Gate in his 5 year tenure...to watch City v Arsenal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calculus Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 1 hour ago, IAmNick said: He has a view/policy he campaigned on and people voted for him based off that. Not entirely sure that's true. From what I can see on here and other places and from the many conversations I've had Marvin's biggest strengths seem to be that he isn't George Ferguson and that he was the sole likely contender.

My disagreement comes from it being reasonable to base a campaign on 'I'll chat about it'. Hah, fair point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chloe1992 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Does it really matter what football team he supports?! Regardless, he was never going to announce a declaration of support for either team and potentially risk losing the votes of half the city The guy has been in charge for two days and already some are writing him off. Let's see what he does first, ay lads?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the place where Cotts got hammered as a long ball merchant that was going to ruine the fantastic football we were playing at the time and Lee Jhonson was a one way ticket to league 1 - all before a single ball was kicked under there management.

Stephen Lewis Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 From what I understand only about 27% of eligible voters bothered to vote. Bit late to complain now. Anyway he's labour so obviously was the best candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From personal experience I'd say L DUBZ is definitely red. Very rarely have I seen a blue tit around those ways. Plenty of robins tho. In fact I happened to spend this last weekend in the ghetto and despite their promotion I failed to see one shirt on show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
