Keepers Ball Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Why do I get the sickening feeling those "Men in Suits" at Ashton Gate, don't give a flying fig what I or any of you think ?We don't like the badge.We have remonstrated for months we don't like the badge and yet the decision to change it still went ahead.Now we have a new shirt that was designed and okayed under the assumption we were going to like it !As the title says "Pig-Headed Ignorance" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This cannot be difficult to organise given that the club has the ADDRESS of 9000 different supporters. It certainly didn't cause a problem when they sent round circulars asking me to buy a debenture seat and a brick or three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Reynolds Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 They can always please you though, can't they Robbored.So your sentiment is that we are merely fans, whose opinions don't count? Without us, there is no club. They should be striving to please the fans, like other clubs do.I remember that a couple of seasons ago, Charlton were given a choicce of four new home shirts. They decided that they didn't like any of them. So what did the Charlton board do? They changed the designs, and gave them three more to choose from. We aren't given a choice, and when we give our opinions, Mr. Gould, the brilliant mind that he is, tells us that we are wrong and not representative of the majority of City fans.Well Mr. Gould, I beg to differ.

TFG are so good that they are unable to come up with four different shirt designs!! That presumably explains the shared Away kit with some Scottish club last season.My guess is that Mr Gould and his Commercially superb department didn't give the design more than a minutes thought and blindly accepted whatever TFG decided to come up with.But whatever the rights and wrongs, the club seem to stumble from one PR disaster to the next without learning any lessons.

I can't be arsed to look but it would be interesting to know whats behind the decision.Maybe Gould could explain why they didn't consult the fans.

I really wouldn't mind, your self-appointed superfan status would be unaffected, I promise.We all know you do it for a reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucksred Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Robbored, question-do you actually see any problems, in your alternative Bristol City? What would, in your opinion be something going wrong?This season has been one PR balls up, after another.......which is surprisingly why there are so many negative posts, slanging matches, uproar, and general mayhem.Is there actually anything wrong at City, in your opinion?In my opinion, the only good thing to happen so far this season is Leeeeeeroy, which I'll happily admit I was initially unhappy with, but he's proved me 100% wrong.Oh yeah Aaron, Leapy, Burnell, Matthews going.Everything else has partially or totally gone Pete Tong-and that aint being negative, thats a fact of life.
