I also caught him talking in a Jamaican accent saying "Jah Bless"... or perhaps he was merely saying "Job Less" in reference to the need to cut back spending.

We were there and had a great time. I always enjoy the carnival and have some good friends in the area who we always drop in on. One of Bristol's highlights

About 100,000 others were there as well, be nice if the club got involved in the local community events, even if they just had a few flags hanging about, let people know we are here.

There were links during the Eastville days as I believe the procession used to start at the stadium. I remember that on the day of the fateful Mansfield game there was music and food from St Pauls Carnival organisers, hopefully we carry on this link. |

From what I could tell on our relegation day,the majority of Jamaica/black people there were the approximate ten security types protecting Geoff Dunford,John Ward and Nick Higgs as they left Box 1 to get into their cars. Occasionally I see maybe over 5 black people on the East Terrace of the Mem,but usually it is less than 5,often enough one who happens to be a good bloke (gave me a massive bear hug on Rovers equaliser at Ashton Gate ). I think 1)Rovers have not made enough effective efforts to engage new support in eg Easton and St Pauls and 2) the ethnic people of these areas think like thousands of other Bristol people Rovers are rubbish,maybe nervous of attending Mem games,they don't care about Bristols football teams feeling no connection with them or the clubs histories and watching Man U,Chelsea etc on the box is safe,exciting,cheaper,loads of immagrants in all the top division teams to relate to,it makes em feel like winners etc. I suppose most ethnic people arelike thousands of other Bristol people and are armchair fans or actually play the game instead of watching at the Mem or Ashton. |

That's it Bas, the club hasn't engaged with local people, if they want to half fill the UWE they had better start. Rovers even C*ty traditional support mainly originates from the local area, to attract future support we need to get young locals in and get them hooked, just as we were. |
