RedRock Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 ...and it actually shows a Sag running towards our stadium. I think we’ve finally broken them. Sub text ... give me a proper stadium, I just can’t face any more of those tents, garden sheds and plastic chairs. How do they do it!

Flounder Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Taken with a telephoto lens so that the effect of lens foreshortening makes the fully floodlit Ashton Gate seem huge in the background. Technically speaking that is a fantastic Gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really don't help themselves do they? I thought that was photoshopped but it's really there on their site. Yet another gift. Hilarious.

SirColinOfMansfield Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 QUESTION 1 - Is it possible to get a season ticket online to watch quality football in Bristol during the 2019/20 season? Yes, just click on this link - https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/201920-season-cards-last-renewals-weekend/ Maybe the whole administration department has been infiltrated by 'Teds? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistleHappy Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Oh thank you … the Gas. This thread has just got good again! (we don't need anymore silly nit picking tit for tat posts, wtf are we interested in dumb arse point scoring re crowd sizes etc for?.... it's like 'arry Enfields 'considerably richer than thou' character sketches, the joke wears thin after the first dozen or so variations of the same shite.) Not when the Gas continue to give us 'concrete' gifts like those above. Why would 'investor's' interested in a canvas based premises be talking concrete? specially when they realise it would be money down the Dwane anyway. And that Frequently Asked Questions photo.. FFS that's priceless on so many levels. Infact I have a question, why use a photo of a Gashead staring towards an actual football stadium as if he's never seen one before? it's like he's just spotted an alien spaceship or something landing in town. Makes no more sense than if a McDonalds Big Mac advert featured a pic of a BK Whopper. Oh, thankyou, thankyou Gas, the gifts, the gifts are back yay!

The skeleton of World Champion Hide an Seek star Edmund Godfrey was today discovered after thirty years following the opening match of the H and S World Cup in Olan Bhoutan.

InCyder Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Any other company/team and that sort of thing would be taken straight off the site once word got around.

Numero Uno Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) That has to rank as one of the biggest marketing gaffes ever. I agree with Rovers fans tbf, their club is truly “special and unique”!! Tbf though they were comparing themselves with Tottenham recently in terms of stadium expenditure so probably took advice from them on marketing and as a result I look forward to the Spurs season ticket flyer complete with image of The Emirates.......: Edited March 16, 2019 by Numero Uno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Hucker Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 FAQ Q19. What is included in my Season Ticket? Your season ticket entitles you to access to (sic) all SkyBet Home League One fixtures only. Nice to see they’re confident that they’ve already avoided relegation. Wycombe anybody? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
