Was that for Lee Archer? Or did we reintroduce it for him? Don't remember it for Lee Archer - just the great Archie Stephens iirc Definitely did it for Lee Archer. Remember joining in with it in my late teens and feeling that it was a bit dodgy at the time but gave it the benefit of the doubt!

Awful idea Keep politics out of sport Have to disagree. Sport in engrained into Culture, and as such is representative of the society and culture it exists in. This being the reason flagrant racist abuse is channeled through social media, making other people of similar ilk join the bandwagon. Sport, being a grand uniter of local communities, then national communities, and at the top level, international relationships, has the reach, the audience and the influence to be one facet of social change. More young lads known how many goals Cristiano Ronaldo scored than they know where Prince Philip was born. And if that doesn't show you how powerful sport is in its influence and ability to impart knowledge onto young people, then I don't know what to tell you. But things that stick in young men's mind will be the things that grow into adult men's minds. And when adult men are hiding behind keyboards making other human beings feel like sh** because of the colour of their skin, then I would argue that sport (and football being the biggest..) can and does have a very strong argument to be an instrument of influence and change throughout culture. one name Marcus Rashford shows what someone in sport can actually do

During the height of BLM, I contacted Tom G and suggested that for the annual Kick It Out awareness game, perhaps the top white quarter should be changed to black. He said that the kit designs were already being looked at. Not sure what other think, but I am sure someone could produce a picture of the general idea on here. It would be a simple but clear statement and would have a ready made tag line - Black and White are equal in the Blue half of Bristol. Before anyone says anything, I now our demographic are no where near this, but it is just based on the shirt design, one black quarter and one white and two blue quarters. If it was manufactured as a limited edition one off, I am sure it would sell well, with the profits going to the community Dept to help Bame projects. The Tesco bag design was not very pretty, but sold well because it was so different. This would give good publicity for the club, sponsors and kit manufacturer, as well as possibly introducing new fans. No thanks.

And that's one voice!

Politics should be kept out of sport full stop. 😡
