I'm all for giving praise when praise is due but I'll come down like a ton of bricks when something is wrong, and this is wrong. Ive nothing personally against Downsy but don't like his style and how he has been used at football, even toned down it's not appropriate. And the thought we might be getting more is sickening. No problem with him on the radio, there is a choice to listen or not. thats my feelings too, not that I listen to him much as I normally coming back from or heading for a pint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct I don't know why Tim has been sacked, but based on Bristol Sports previous actions, it doesn't take a genius to come to the conclusion of a plastic suit taking his job.

Dollymarie Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Maybe we could cut out the personal abuse people? The facts are that an employee of almost a decade has been told he is now surplus to requirements, with no good reason given as to why, and also without a proper fit for purpose replacement.

How many ST holders would be in the South Stand next season? 5000? Lets take away the 800 movers from the Atyeo who would have paid £50ish less anyway so that's 4200. How many children in the South Stand? 500? £52 for all children so the club wouldn't lose money on them either. That's 3700 of which there will be U21s, U25s and pensioners, all of which would see a reduction of less than £50 so lets say 3500 full paying adults in the South Stand on average who would get a reduced rate from last season. That's just £185,000 (before we even introduce the tax man) less in the clubs coffers which could be made back by fans having more in their pocket to spend on drink or in the club shop. And when you consider we've just spent 5.3 million on a player, that really is peanuts. And I hate to sound like a broken record on this forum but Huddersfield charged £179 for Season Tickets in any part of their ground last season and went up, so to have our cheapest tickets at just under £300 doesn't seem too unreasonable does it?

Don't disagree with you at all on prices. I was just stating a fact. Unfortunately football in all aspects is over priced. And I expect u will pay for you're season ticket next season.

I've found over the last few years that Ashton Gate just doesn't feel the same. Even 14/15 didn't feel as special to me as it should. I'm taking a year out next year to watch some non-league sides like Mangotsfield and Brislington to try and love the game again. But Bristol City is like a drug which is why I'm on here so much so I'll probably be back sooner rather than later, just not next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a shame. No good reason? Do we know there isn't a replacement? I'd guess that as they are to be running BCTV maybe they would have invested in some new "talent" and it might be cost effective to combine some roles. I know if I were doing it, with the new screens at Ashton Gate. I'd make BCTV a "Live from Ashton Gate" matchday programme... Show the same on screens and tannoy as is being beamed online. Tim says in his tweet that they are "making changes" that could be as good a reason as is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
