Top Robin Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Here is the club general email address........ enquiries@bcfc.co.uk If he doesn't go this morning, those who want him out may want to email the club to voice our feelings. If you put if for the attention of Steve Lansdown or any of the other top brass, it may get our message across., especially if enough of us do it. Hopefully this won't be needed but if it is and enough of us do it, it just may help. Sounds extreme but frankly, I have had enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ploppy Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Usually I'm not a fan of these type of tactics to hound someone out of a job but in the circumstances I can definitely make the exception.

Then he gave an interview and said we have to stop being so milky, whatever that means. We have two away games to come - the next chance for the home fans to be heard is Burton at home. By then it may well be too late. I'm not saying that spamming the club with emails is necessarily the answer but something has to be done for the good of the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Balls Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 If supporters really wanted to make their feelings known very directly, then demonstrating outside SL's business shindig thing tomorrow at Ashton Gate would be exactly the kind of thing that fans in Italy might do. Now that ireally s a bit more extreme than writing an email that will be handled by someone in the office, rather than ever getting to SL. And the likelihood of any City fans demonstrating that? Extremrly low I would suggest. The only fans I can imagine doing it in this country would be the Geordies. Their club is their identity. Ours is just Cockney rhyming slang....Sad but true!

Yeh, it may not work but at least we are trying. You aren't doing anything though! Unless you were actually serious about thinking that sending an email to the club enquiry address is "doing something" I don't have a problem with people doing something, if they feel strongly enough about it, but how about trying something that shows your discontent to the point that you are bothered to get up from your keyboard, leave the house and make a clear demonstration for those who matter to see and gauge your feelings on the subject..? An email (not even to the address of those that you are trying to contact. Really not hard to find) does almost the complete opposite. Why did you not stage a sit in protest after the game last night? Why aren't you down at the ground shouting outside the office windows, or chaining yourself to the gates..? Is it a bit windy and cold to actually "do something" that involves leaving your warm, comfortable surroundings..? Like I said, hardly William Wallace.
