Leveller Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Just a bit of silly season rubbish, but I'm getting a bit tired of the transfer speculation ...There's been a recent thread saying Justin Lee Collins is City & claiming the same for Banksy (isn't he supposed to be anonymous?) but who else is there?I know about (I think all common knowledge)Tony RobinsonMarcus TrescothickJonathan PearceWurzelsAny more?And couldn't we use them more to raise the club's profile somehow?

Nibor Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Banksey is gas i believe.Don't see how you can know that when he's anonymous.Rob Del Naja and the other two blokes in Massive Attack and Tricky who used to be are all City fans though I think only Rob Del Naja is serious about it.John Cleese and Mark Dudbridge are two others that spring to mind.

CiderHider Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 How many times do these famous City fans get down the Gate? Does anyone have their ST next to Jenson and his Dad? Or 3d?Would be nice to see them cheering on the boys, some big names there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or 3d?Would be nice to see them cheering on the boys, some big names there.I am fairly certain that Robert Del Naja has a season ticket.He was a massive help (no pun intended) in getting the AG8 dinner off the ground.Jonathan Pearce and Angus Scott were both good value for money at the ST launch night. Anyone who attended will remember their double act.Richard Scudamore, CEO of the Premiership, is a City fan and supplied a number of excellent raffle prizes for the ST launch and the recent POY awards.

Dolman_Dave Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Chilcott has his own limo company and quite often takes a few mates to away games in his 'cider limo'!I've seen Tony Robinson at home and away games before.Saw Dominic Mohan at Wembley v Stoke in 2000.

Leveller Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I can assure you that Banksy is a Bristol City supporter.--------------------(Please note that Greenun's opinions are strictly his own and unfortunately, so are his jokes.)Hmm...sounds very authoritative, but can you expand on this? Got paint on your hands have you? Anyway, if he is, it's about time he got down to AG and added some value. There are several areas where some considered murals would improve the place. That wall in the car park for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wall in the car park for a start.I'm not going to name names, but a well known friend of Banksy's asked me if I could secure a Middlesbrough FA Cup ticket for the artist, back in January. Luckily, a colleague of mine had a spare one.However, I don't think that Banksy is a regular visitor to AG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redbarn Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 No one have mention the most famous City fan of all time Cary Grant.A similar thread to this one was aired a few weeks ago. I cited Cary Grant myself and actually heard him being announced on the Tannoy and saw him stand up and take a bow from the Williams, although it was just called the Grandstand in those days. I reckon that was about 1963-65. It still counts as one of my proudest moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Matthaus Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I have seen both Tony Robinson and 3D (not together) in Dolman B block before. 3D gives thanks to Bristol City FC in the sleeve of Massive Attack legendary album 'Blue Lines'.

Scrumpadelic Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Someone told me once that a couple of the guys out of the band Pavement were/are City fans. I never checked into this, maybe someone else can confirm it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 ...Anybody else think that a :City Supporters/Wurzels/East End collaboration (+ maybe one or two Celebrity City Fan guests) to make & record a 'Bristol City' song CD is a good idea? I think this year - City promotion, the final months of our old East End Stand, & The Wurzels still going strong at the moment (but they cant go on forever, can they? ).. is the perfect (& last) year to do something like this,...With enough support, maybe a fans campaign of some kind, backing from the right people & a bit of luck... I think its possible...First thing though, is to find out if any of the fans would be up for it.... Well? ...any thoughts/ideas?And to 'rope in' the Supporters Trust to utilise their fantastic organisational abilities to make it happen - think it would be a perfect project for them (after their AG8 tribute success) to get involved with & take control of.... Come on who wants an official professionally recorded City Song ? - By The Fans For The Fans (with a little help from our friends)!!!(I'd buy one..)
