Me! On Sky Sports!

[knip]

Ok so I only made it on for 30 seconds or so, and they cut most of the interview they did with me, but I have still been on national telly for the first time in my life (unless you count Songs of Praise when I was a kid )

Well done knip.


How come you were in the ground?

They rang me and asked me to do the interview. I was actually interviewed for about 20 minutes, but for some reason they only used that bit. I talked about what a Supporters Trust does, (i'm a board member of Bristol City Supporters Trust) how wonderful our chairman is, the fundraising the Trust has been doing, as well as a rant about Bristol City Council and some of their ridiculous recent decisions regarding the plans for our new stadium.

one question, who were the blondes in the background ?

If you are on about the bit with the players in a shop, they were opening a BCFC section in House of Fraser at Cabots Circus in the middle of Bristol. (I had to go to work by then!)

My bit was done inside the stadium at Ashton Gate.

Nice accent, and your teeth are very nice too

Why thankyou, I didn't post this for compliments, thankyou all the same, was more of a "Ooooooh I was on the telly!" thing

Not a great day no, but just to clarify (and I have had this confirmed by sources at the club) the bloke that got taken to hospital was due to him falling ill, and not because of any kind of violence. (although with Millwall in town there was always gonna be some numpties from both sides out yesterday)

Oh and James improved, he let in 4 in his previous game

Yeah I see how he 'fell ill' here, looks like a tummy upset or something:

No violence going on there whatsoever, honest.

I suggest you find new sources at the club.

The sources confirmed no one had died, and as I said before, we have some numpties, but the bloke on the floor is a City fan. The Milwall fan who got taken to hospital was elsewhere. I am not defending the actions of our club for a second, but even the police were on local tv yesterday saying that the coach stopped in that clip was an unofficial one, and hadn't made themselves known to the police, also they were stopped on the kerb, and the driver could at any point have driven away from our idiots.

Anyway, its getting off topic, theres a whole big thread on our forum here if you'd care to read it, including comments from Milwall.
