freezer Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 I've noticed that around the ground that numerous signs are advertising events, matches, hospitality etc. for Bristol FC. I assume that Bristol FC is the new, corporate version of my beloved Bristol City Football Club, or BCFC as commonly known. A bit confusing really as I wasn't quite sure what if existing tattoos needed amending or future one's needed to be inked in the new style. Also, do chants need to be altered/adapted to suit if Bristol FC is our new name? For example, it's been quite a while - for obvious reasons - but do we now have to sing (that totally b#ll#cks song) - ' And it's Bristol FC, Bristol FC, FC.....Their by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen? Apologies if this has been raised before. I don't post/look as much as I used to but rather concerned that my Bristol City Football Club has morphed into something else.

Well I was lucky enough to get down the gate for the Reading game. (some might say) I did notice everything has changed in the 8 months since id been over. Everyone seemed to consider there self as BRISTOL SPORT, at 2/0 up most people near me were really up about the result at Sale. There was a distinct lack of kids donned in red and white, and nobody seemed disappointed at the Bristol outcome against Reading. Don't worry Freezer, there are enough people that would never let the CITY DIE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If "Bristol FC" really was "around the ground" I think it might have been picked up on before. Given the all of the marketing refers to "City" or "BCFC", such as the Twitter address for example, I am frankly struggling to believe this. Even that evil enterprise Bristol Sport's website refers to "City" as short hand for the football team, as this example shows. So you really need to back up this claim because at the moment it sounds like nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not great with modern technology but will photo any examples I see next Saturday and get my son's to advise me how to 'upload' on here. I can assure everyone, I'm not sh+t stirring.

Murraysrightplum Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 1) Probably not true/ a simple explanation 2) Very ironic for someone posting on a forum called One Team in Bristol to be moaning about being called Bristol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 It's not just the identity of our fine football club I worry about. I was talking to some fans of the Bristol Jets badminton team. Bloody seething they were. One day minding their own business getting by happily then along comes some bloke with a big cheque book and shallows them under the Bristol Sport empire. Identity ripped right out. A crying shame. Months of proud history erased overnight. Farce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the club I grew up adoring. Sad sad days. Such nonsense. Said it before, I'll say it again: - Still called Ashton Gate. Still wear red. Still called Bristol City FC. Still got the same crest which still says Bristol City. Still got red seats, despite having recently had he opportunity to change that. Still got a programme called "Well Red" Still got the robin mascot. Still got a stand called Atyeo. Still got a stand called Dolman. Still have BCFC.co.uk Now also have "Marina Dolman Way". Now also have an Atyeo statue. Now also have a concourse emblazoned with banners and various nods to our history and greatest players. Absolutely no suggestion of changing any of the above. Yes, there are some Bristol Sport logos around. But if you go to Old Trafford you'll see plenty of Nike logos, if you go to Chelsea you'll see plenty of Adidas logos and if you go to White Hart Lane you'll see plenty of Under Armour logos. Can't see much difference. And I don't think one stand out of four with a few rugby banners up really consititutes "ripping the heart out of the club". Not exactly a Vincent Tan situation is it.
