Benjam!n Ultra Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Simple question for a very simple franchise's motto. My opinion is they should drop this shit hashtag immediately and disband the entire catalogue of failures. The man at the helm struggles enough with football so why on earth he thinks he can sort out shit like badminton in Bristol I don't know. #MakingBristolProud... Err...

Barrs Court Red Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 The question should be, "what impact does Bristol Sport have on the operational side of the football club." I suspect the answer is none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 It's just a company promoting and running the admin, promotion, finance, legal aspects of varies sporting entities. The fact people get so worked up or don't understand what BS even is, well it's kind of sad. So no they are not an embarrassment, failing or anything else, they are just support for the clubs / sports to go on and do their thing - if the sports or clubs are failing it is not because of BS but inspite of them (i.e. they would be failing anyway) stop trying to make BS your scapegoat for under-performing.

Marketing is only important if you're trying to achieve a position in the market. If Bristol Sport are only a support organisation they should be in the background. The fact that they're not would seem to indicate that in the long term they are to be THE brand, rather than operating divisions like football and rugby. Just a thought....

cidered abroad Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 We are still a joke in the sporting world. With City and Bris very likely to both be relegated, why should the rest of the country look up to us as Bristol Sport would want. I'm proud to be a Bristolian but ashamed of our sporting heritage. Largest city in England never to have had Premier league football, a county cricket club that's never won the Championship, a Rugby club that is now continually second best to such giants as Exeter and Bath. And if you're a music lover, you need to consult a map to find your way to Cardiff, Birmingham, and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveybadger Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 As a Gloucester RFC fan as well ad City i'd be peed off if i thought in anyway SL was diverting resources to Bristol RFC (or the other teams for that matter), that could be spent on City. I don't think that's the case at all. As for the rest of the sports stable, why wouldn't it be a good thing that he is trying to promote excellence in sport in the city (allowing for the fact that success is limited at the moment)? Wrong target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you are completely correct it has also been projected as a brand with merchandise as well as the club shop being covered in its branding.

To me it's quite the opposite. I detest it now. The ground just reeks of corporate BS now. I long for the days of the east end, a time when there was passion in this sport. A time when the players gave their all for the shirt. Imagine a city rovers derby now; hardly a player on the pitch would understand what it means to us fans. Thank god I witnessed true passion back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
