Popular Post TheCerneAbbasGiant Posted February 4, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 I was lucky enough to be invited to the Bristol Sport Gala Dinner last night. It was great to see and hear Antoine speak so well again, a great player and gent in the making. Curtis Fleming talked about the amazing facilities City have. To hear how the mens and ladies rugby, ladies football and mens basketball was great too. Pat Lam, a great motivator. The speeches and insight on what Bristol Sport are doing in the community was inspirational. No matter what people think of SL and JL regarding City, they have and are doing something unique and amazing in Bristol. Take the time fellow reds to read what they are doing. In my eyes SL is a legend. We are all lucky to have him. PS - My name isn’t John…. honest 33 6 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS - My name isn’t John…. honest Seriously, I don't think his motives should be questioned, even if the results (in terms of football performance) leave much to be desired. Yes, he's probably aiming to make Bristol Sport, and its facilities, an added value project. But a man of that wealth didn't need to spend his money on this and doesn't really need to make an profit. nor will he, unless he sells. He just needs to recruit better people - and perhaps he already has. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone can question the money, effort and vision that SL has had. What we criticise is some of his woeful decision making over the years and blinkered nepotism. All things considered though we are very fortunate to have him and his family when you look at other clubs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GrahamC Posted February 4, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 3 minutes ago, sticks 1969 said: One thing he has done properly That picture of the Mem makes it look less shit than it actually is. That stand starts & ends where the picture does, so it doesn’t even fill half of that side of the pitch. As the infamous Villa fans YouTube video says the ground is a collection of haphazard little “stands” seemingly plonked randomly around the ground. Our ground on the other hand is a coherent one & whilst some moan about the Atyeo it is the away stand, so only in use by people once a season. SL has got plenty wrong but despite no help at all from those running this city, he’s got the ground & training ground very right. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, the food parcels to the poorer parts of South Bristol during the pandemic as well. Plus of course the vaccination centre stuff, I know those in power like to knock themselves out over what Rovers Community Trust does, but over in South Bristol a hell of a lot of good is being done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
