This is an idea taken from graffers and when the moon shines and doesn't need a fairy city could do it anyway with fans. Create a legacy via a bristol city fc festival. Run the festival on a Saturday in ashton park with community groups proper city pubs lime lions and miners and clubs like ashton boys, get upest and local businesses involved. Marquees kids football tournaments stalls that type of thing. Use artists to paint murals, boards shutters anything free of charge to local business using city themes attempting to create a bristol city artwalk. Give out free posters flags scarves provide artists to local people to decorate their homes and use the street to advertise Bristol city. Try to saturate an area around the ground in colour. Cost not that high really upfest runs for less than £20000!!! This does get done abroad. Bristol city actually have this on the doorstep to use and it cwuld leave a sustaining legacy. Better value than Nicky Hunt.
Use it to raise the club's profile in its own City. Things that catch the eye and imagination.- City Robins instead of Gromits, huge kids football tournaments. Ideas that underline the club's community status..
use it to fund a lottery to give free season tickets away ie everyone who buys a season ticket gets entered into a draw to get the cost of their ticket back or perhaps a 50% reduction in next years ticket which would benefit twice as many supporters at an average of £200 per ticket 2000 fans could benefit with a 50% reduction or just look at a 10% reduction across the board for people buying season tickets. Wouldn't help me but would probably help the greatest percentage of fans.
Make match days at Ashton Gate more kid or family friendly inside and outside of the ground....these are tomorrow's supporters
More £1 a kid games (get em young) A couple of free travel for away games per season More stuff in the community
Have an individual tel hotline put into city so that I could get some bloody tickets!!! sorry moved my rant to another thread. I'll shut up now.
That actually made be burst out loud with laughter, not because of your predicament though. For me I would pay the council to paint every road within two miles of mem one side white and one red, now that would teach them to pretending to piss on the gate. Have it. On a serious note, cracking idea 3lions bs3.
I'd invest in some turnstile assistants. The rest I would use as a bung to try and attract the best young kid in Britain to the club
No you don't buy Rovers and disband them you buy them and then play for them. The catch is anybody with footballing ability would be banned from the team. Think of the results. Or is it like that anyway?
