Bristol toilets smashed

Re: Bristol toilets smashed

Had to help a young lad who was with his mum as it was pitch black in there about 20 mins before kick off and looked like a bomb site then saw an old guy having a piss in the stand near the end which went near a group of fans who weren't happy. Embarrassing really, same fans will be the first to moan when its a bubble next season.

I guess the turnstiles survived though ? ? ?

If they somehow catch them, they should send them the bill and ban them for life.
There’s no place in our club for mindless idiots.

Re: Bristol toilets smashed

I hope they ban the Wurzel who threw a flare into our fans, too. Couldn't see a thing for a few minutes* and not good for the lungs.

Is that a reference to 1989? One of the perpetrators got a 4 stretch for throwing a concrete block at a police officer. That was a very dangerous day.

Re: Bristol toilets smashed

Ashton Gate was a breath of fresh air for me today. Bristol City deserve to be commended for their outside fanzone style atmosphere and the welcome offered to me and my son in all areas. We had space around us in the stand and access to a pitchside snack bar.

It was disappointing then to hear about the toilets being smashed and to see young lads having their collar felt for anti social behaviour outside the ground. 15 - 20 year olds giving it large and thinking they have the right to be offensive.

Also seeing middle to late aged men with rage in their eyes towards other similar aged men because they support another football team. One in particular was right in the face of a Bristol City fan for no reason other than machismo was trying to intimidate and provoke a fella who was with his young son.

I know Bristol have caused enough trouble themselves at times but it was some of our lot who disappointed today under the stands and when in contact with the locals.

Re: Bristol toilets smashed

Is there any chance of the Trust organising a whip-round from us, even if only as a token gesture towards the cost of repairing the damage? It would go someway to restoring the reputation of CCFC supporters.

I'd be happy to chip in but I'd be a bit wary of sending money directly to the club as it might simply disappear into the general coffers and not be specifically ring-fenced.

Did you know that throwing concrete by City fans goes back to the early days of Ninian Park. I'll have to look it up but there was a match where supporters had a right go at each other and this was in the 1920s I think. Concrete was the weapon of choice. I'm sure there'll be someone along soon on here who knows the history better than I do.

It's really good to hear something positive, Michael and I'm really pleased you and your son had a great welcome. Glad you posted that news as it's been a grim day.

Re: Bristol toilets smashed

I read this, this morning and it genuinely surprised me.

We all know each club has its beauts and headers but I thought it had died a death and most 'lads' decked out in the gear were just posturing or caught up in the image?

Also thought the police had it all under control?

As if the team wasn't embarrassing enough.

That made me laugh, we had nutters back in the 20's

[QUOTE=Citizen's Nephew;5267103]The result, the mural and this. Not a great day for our club and its PR. F*ck me we make life difficult for ourselves.[/QUOTE

Not sure the mural has anything to do with our club in terms of it being painted over and McDonald's have agreed to restore it apparently

As for the damage to toilets and the jumping up and down in the park by opposition fans, there is always this underlying tension with our away support when they travel in numbers but I'm sure someone is already writing a book about it or contributing chapters to it about how "it went off" and "there's one and a half of us and four hundred of them but we stood our ground" blah blah blah

Youngsters I suppose will always misbehave in numbers but the older ones - what a waste of sperm

Always pathetic and always will be

Someone will probably blame Tan though

Yup, I was there during this time, it was horrible to witness.
