Did UPFEST leave cans of beer all over the streets of Bedminster or were they cleared up??? This isn't the pub's fault at all they clearly do what they can in what is clearly a difficult situation to control. Maybe in a different location ( South Street school field) that the Three Lions could run and control would be a suggestion !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt very much they would have went around tidying up people's gardens. The area around the 3 Lions was cleared after the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Marquees with bars (managed by SD) portaloos music and a walk to the ground. The people living around there might be unhappy though and I get that too.

Pezo Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 On the route down from the 3 lions the only thing I saw was supporters using other peoples recycling bins. Surely no one can complain about that but this is OTIB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was more mess on the way to the ground after Saturday than any other home game in the last year, Many may have used the bins but not everyone is that thoughtful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After UPFEST people all dispersed in different directions and the mess may have been less noticeable, after the flag day all routes (i.e Palmyra Road, to Duckmoor Road ) led to Ashton Gate. That's my gripe not the event or the organisation of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcitysweden Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Call it "Flag month" and make it all ticket over four home games. Each weekend hosted by an ex player. Don't sell more tickets than that there are room in the pub and in the backyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashtonphil mk2 Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Ironically enough I was at my parents house today and a half full plastic pint glass is still where it was left on Saturday. The can that was next to it previously had been removed !!! I didn't take a photo as I thought it would look as though I'm being petty. But will get my folks to if you are that insistent Whatever mess there was, wass more than usual as there is usually none at all. I didn't drive along Duckmoor Road on my way home so couldn't check the other areas, but by many of the trees there were cans of Special Brew, Thatchers etc. It wasn't a huge amount but it was too much.. if that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was today !!!!!! which is 4 days after the event. That was in one location and was simply an example, I could give you plenty more and had you read the rest of what I said I gave you other locations. I've never said " all round Bedminster" in relation to this, I mentioned it in relation to UPFEST. I said along Palmyra Road and Duckmoor Road there was more rubbish than another home game, which is an undeniable fact and had to have been directly caused by the irresponsible behaviour of a small minority people who attended the event the Flag Day and I do accept it is a small minority but it does leave a sour taste for the residents.

CyderInACan Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Never been to a flag day and doubtful I ever will; pyro and bottle throwing not bring my thing. However I can only imagine the uproar in Southville if anyone ever tried to hold anything remotely similar in Greville Smyth Park. They never moved down from London for that kind of thing, thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
