At Bristol City we announce deaths. Very true One of the reasons my interest in attending is waning. The atmosphere is like a morgue and whether its claps in the 55th 70th 78th min or announcements throughout half time, death is being rammed down our throats. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 It's not the rubbish entertainment at half time that bothers me, it's the rubbish we serve up for the 45 mins before and after that is the concern. At least we showed a bit of fighting spirit for the last 15 mins, where was it for the first 75 minutes? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 One thing they could do at half time is put up the other half time scores on the screen rather than asking us to phone up on Tuesday if we want to find out….. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 We have almost always been half-arsed and amateurish, in my 42 years of being a City fan. There must be something in the ******* water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 I actually watched this higher or lower business, the young lad got it wrong on the first go but still won the prize? Poor lad didn’t even know where in Bristol he was from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's amazing it's the most fixed game ever, what they are meant to say is on a clipboard that's held in front of them, the pressure of the Ashton gate crowd got to him :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Force feed Lansdown two bottles of wine in the first half . Spin him around then push onto the pitch with a microphone. actually , apart from the microphone I think that’s how he’s chosen his previous managers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) It's the only time I've been at a game when a team equalises and the score is 0-2 Truly embarrassing. Edited January 8, 2023 by AppyDAZE 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open End Numb Legs Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 As a boy I remember the half time scores elsewhere were on a board marked A to Z and you had to check your programme to see which game related to which letter. Or did I imagine that...? Very exciting. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roe Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Most clubs are terrible at matchday presentation as a whole and we're certainly bad at that among other things Weird because it all seems quite an easy thing to fix imo Obviously we all know the sound systems are awful so that doesn't help but the massive screens are hardly used in an effective way Downsy and I'd assume some others running the show clearly aren't football fans Presumably one of the main reasons they don't do anything is they want fans back in the concourse buying food and drinks anyway. Still sad though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
