They might as well have replaced every `Bristol City` with `Swansea City` and the story would have been just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full nelson Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 It’s crazy that this still goes on!?! CCTV and cameras everywhere nowadays. I was at the foggia vs Brescia game at the weekend and the amount of grown men walking around in balaclavas was quite intimidating! No face no name is their way of thinking.....

I would suggest two reasons. 1. They like to stir as much shyte as possible about our club, because there is a definite prejudice towards BRFC and against BCFC at the post. 2. We are the bigger club with more fans and as such, more readers who will rise to the click bait. Raising more money for the paper. And just for good measure, a combination of both.

I’ve posted this before, but I make no apology for doing so again....I used to work with a guy who had previously worked at The Bristol Post - he was from Liverpool so had no axe to grind. He told me that the vast majority of the editorial team at The Bristol Post were gasheads and it was clear during meetings that any story to discredit City was to be followed through. I know any visiting gas on here will think that’s just us being paranoid....but this was from a guy who worked there and wasn’t from Bristol....he was a Tranmere fan and had zero reason to lie....

Unfounded rumour and complete bollocks.

Spike Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 For what it's worth I don't think it was the fact they were Villa fans that would have even started anything, it's Grangetown, I don't go down there and I live in Cardiff, what a shithole!

chucky Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 There was a violent brawl between Cardiff and Aston villa "fans" and Bristol live has decided to do an article on it, and twice, throw our name in to it. Now I know they don't make any claim as to Bristol City fans being involved but when people don't read stories properly, we'll end up being associated with this. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/local-news/cardiff-city-aston-villa-fight-2199695 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really are an obnoxious asshole. Could you not tell that my post was written in the past tense, in response to another post written in the past tense. My information comes directly from someone working in the post offices at the time, my brother in law as it happens. Someone I have known for over forty years and trust implicitly. So stick your obnoxious comments where the sun doesn't shine and try and be a little less offensive next time you reply to one of my posts. Either that or, do what you suggest to everyone else that doesn't like your posts, and put me on ignore. As it happens, the editor in chief (Mike Norton) is a gashead, the former main sports editor (Robin Perry) was a gashead, the main Rovers match reporter (name eludes me but went on to be a club employee and still quotes in Post occasionally), another in the editorial room (Stan Stzernastiac) or something, was a gashead who went on to run a paper out in the Arab world and promoted Rovers money search in that paper, and the girl who reported on the Memorial ground redevelopment (Kirsty) was a gashead, who also went on to be a club employee. So there are a few names in what was a relatively small journalistic editorial staff who had strong ties to Rovers. The only City supporter on the whole staff known, was the TV critic columnist.
