What was the outcome of the minibus full of s***heads that were stopped by the old bill about 30 mins after the stand at Trumpton went up? Anyone get to court? Arson is a serious charge. Exactly what I was thinking, alloutofgas. Purely from memory I believe that there was a prosecution, but cannot remember the outcome unfortunately. I was always more concerned about the fire in the South Stand at Eastville though, which I thought was much worse than the Twerton Park fire. I don't believe that there were any prosecutions for that one, but I'm quite certain that someone on here will know. So much bad luck, eh?  |

Poor taste in my mind, it would appear that someone placed a cardboard plaque on the gates took a photo and removed it. No lasting damage but like I said poor taste in humour. Poor humour and poor taste, eh? Well, I think that it's the very least that we can agree on. Never mind we're certain to have dobinpuncher come on very soon, to give her own version of these terrible actions. From her posts a few days ago she is clearly a woman of strong views and opinions, so I am looking forward to reading what she has to say on the matter. |

You're most probably right Phil. But it's sad though, ennit?  |

Yes it is poor taste any other time we would all be saying that it's pretty funny in fairness. To place the plaque on the Memorial Gates, even temporarily for the purpose of taking a photo, was undoubtedly in poor taste and to release the photo today of all days even more so. I suspect (hope), however, that they were simply misguided. Now, if they had placed the plaque on Santa's Grotto that would have been hilarious! Yes sorry I meant it was pretty funny but obviously not where it was put. |

timing appalling and where it was put stupid bet guy regrets it, but when I heard about vandalism and defacing I was expecting grafetti and spray paint.
It's actually humerous for a s**thead, but timing complete embarrassment to them all

read elsewhere that this was actually done over a week ago but taken its time to get out in the public.

Doesn't seem too much of a sentence at first glance, especially when you consider the sentences handed down even more recently for the disturbances at Trashton. How times must have changed, eh? |

Personally, I find Jamie Carstairs' actions significantly more deplorable than that. Carstairs hijacked the memory of dead soldiers for his narrow, selfish interests, repeatedly, cynically. These guys have defaced the memorial for what they think is an amusing joke. They're a bit thick, probably, but Carstairs, highly educated and working for the university and leveraging local media, etc, was sick. The memorial isn't the memory. The next thing that will happen is that someone will be trying sell off the Memorial GROUND so that some greedy corporate giant can build a supermarket on it, no surely not, remember the memorial isn't the memory it's the Memorial GROUND. |

Yeah, maybe some vested interest will fence it off and stop the people of Bristol playing on it, and simply keep it for a greedy elite who don't care about the people of Bristol generally, don't care about keeping it open in the spirit it was dedicated, only care about keeping it for their own narrow, selfish interests. And then selling it. We can all play that game, matey. |
