    Once again we have been let down by a bunch of mindless idiots - I think the article below from the Gas website is very good.

    I'm sure you will join me in condemming these idiots:

    It’s disappointing to report that The Memorial Gates, a tribute to the fallen of two World Wars and some of the property outside of the gates was vandalised last night by people purporting to be Bristol City supporters.

    We are certain that all true followers of Bristol football will be both shocked and disgusted at this mindful act of vandalism.

    It’s disappointing that the good name of the majority of Bristol City supporters has been dragged through the mud by a mindless minority.

    The matter has been reported to the police and if anyone knows any of the people involved in this disgraceful incident, we respectfully ask you to report the matter to them as soon as possible.

    City statement....

    Bristol City Football Club are appalled to hear a minority of so-called City supporters have desecrated the Memorial Gates.We join Bristol Rovers Football Club and the wider Bristol sporting community in condemning this action.

    Anyone found guilty of carrying out this mindless act of vandalism will face a lifetime ban from Ashton Gate.

    In the spirit of Christmas, we are working with Rovers to ensure that the graffiti is removed as soon as possible.

    Doug Harman
    Bristol City Executive Director
