I cannot believe that he could ever give credence to any poll voted on by readers of the BEP. Many of whom will be readers who have little or no connection with BCFC or possibly even from the dark side. How can that possibly be representative of what us real fans believe? Andy, try doing this poll: " Should brfc be closed down and it's fan base sent to the colonies?" and I think you'd get a good representative opinion.

The polls are hilarious , a dozen people vote and the result announced is something like " 80% of City fans think ... " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Has no one else noticed that in this article, Stockhausen says; Quote I recall one occasion when the media were invited to City's Failand training ground to interview the manager in July last year. There was no mention that the club had just completed the signing of Ryan Fredericks from Tottenham until we were all in our cars and heading back to our respective places of work. ... yet we signed Ryan Fredericks on 6 August, with very little forewarning anywhere, from what I remember. Certainly wasn't aware at least a week prior. So, unless he's saying he found out well prior to the fact, and kept quiet (which is clearly not what is implied), then doesn't bode well that he can't even fact check/research signings that have already happened, let alone new ones. I've no personal animosity towards him, but that is just sloppy work, and not the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be incredibly difficult to maintain a relationship with the club whilst writing news worthy pieces. You get the feeling that he has to run past the club first any soon to be published piece just in case they aren't happy with it. He may as well get Bristol sport to proof read everything in advance?! It's s sorry place to be in journalism if you can't write what the readers and fans want to know for fear of rocking the boat and the club (as punishment) not giving you any information for any future news?
