Ziderarmy Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Jerry was superb with the lads team I help coach when he hosted 12 eight year old lads on the 23rd December off a stadium tour a couple of years back. he kids were on a high what with no school and Christmas a couple of days away, he let them enjoy themselves playing hide and seak in the concourses etc whilst hosting the adults and kids when they have the odd question. We weren’t rushed and Jerry did this with humour and a smile on his face throughout whilst also talking with true honour and passion. Thanks again Jerry if you see this.

BBlockExile Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Jerry simply has a mountain of work and is pretty much the only public facing employee of Bristol City (and probably Bristol Sport). His workload is overwhelming and those of us who have ever had more work than time in our jobs will completely understand the deeper issues here. Please be patient and give the fellow a break. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry is a top bloke and I hope everything is ok with him! What? The club aren't going to pay for two SLO's are they! What can be so pressingly urgent that another of the club's employees can't deal with it whilst he is on leave for a couple of days? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly as I am always extremely positive about Jerry!! Who has helped me out a lot lately. No one is suggesting BCFC should employ two SLOs, why would you even think I suggested that in the post!!!? However other employees step into roles temporarily at every company in the world as you have more than implied! @phantom did speak to the club regarding the ongoing issues with Bctv video which was helpful and dealt with and responded to Perhaps you can explain why you responded to a seven day old nothing post with such vitriol? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still waiting for feedback on the things I was told would be raised on my behalf. Perhaps the reply is coming back by pigeon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the reply is coming back by pigeon. Hi @Henryand others that have raised other questions, the original meeting with the club which was supposed to happen last week was postponed by the SC&T because so many Bristol City / Bristol Sport employees were on leave that we felt it wouldn't have been in our (The supporters) interests to proceed, that meeting has been rearranged for 2pm on Tuesday 31st October. Your question has been submitted to the agenda with others from OTIB to be raised that day. I'm on leave now until Tuesday (24th) but I've got all the specific questions asked and who to respond to on my work laptop,so when the usual statement is released by the SC&T after the meeting I'll also tag individual responses in that thread. The query mentioned above was able to be raised with someone else who isn't on leave but with the growing problems with the service being provided around Robins TV it will also be raised at this upcoming meeting. For those who remember him Tommy from Sweden was on the recent SC&T monthly meeting and he raised and went into great detail about the issues him and his friends have been having As a side issue, Tommy and the Swedish Bristol City Supporters Club branch are coming over on November 25th, but I'll leave the finer details for a future date 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We see on various forums and social media about upcoming meetings and where to put our questions etc etc, but why was it not communicated (to my knowledge) that the meeting was cancelled/postponed when people, I presume are waiting for answers? The SC&T is not the highly thought of organisation we would like and what should be available as directed in the fan led review, simple things such as communication should not really be a problem with the media(s) available The club already, in my view, only pay lip service to the organisation so everything should be done to include and inform as may fans as possible so the club know it cannot simply ride roughshod over us In fairness to you at least you come on here and try to keep us informed, why others don't is anyone's guess 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
