No Bubbles in Bristol
Filed: Sunday, 25th January 2015
By: Staff Writer
West Ham's Bubble machine will NOT be making an appearance at Ashton Gate this afternoon, as previously planned.
Bristol City had originally agreed to allow West Ham use of their bubble machine during this afternoon's FA Cup 4th round tie - before a storm of protests from City fans forced the Robins into a swift about-turn.
Now West Ham's bubble machine is unlikely to make an appearance after City posted the following statement on their website.
"In response to the news article that appeared in The Sun newspaper and subsequent social media posts we would like to confirm that West Ham will not be bringing their bubble machine to Ashton Gate," it read.
"Bristol City FC received an official request from West Ham earlier this week to bring their bubble machine to the game on Sunday. This was then passed to the head of operations for Bristol Sport – the company managing the stadium.
"City manager Steve Cotterill was asked about this at the end of the media conference on Wednesday and gave an off-the-cuff response saying it could add to the atmosphere.
"Late yesterday Bristol Sport confirmed that it had now received all the additional information that it requested on the specification of the bubble machine and would not be able to facilitate the request. No comment was sought by The Sun from Bristol Sport regarding the story."
Andrew Billingham, CEO of Bristol Sport added: "We’re really looking forward to this FA Cup game and can’t wait to have our fans arrive at the stadium to see it covered with red and white scarves.
"We want everyone to have an amazing day and I personally think a bubble machine would distract from that. I’m sure our fans would agree.
"West Ham have fantastic supporters and will no doubt add to a great afternoon. We’re really looking forward to welcoming them to Ashton Gate.”

Bristol City did well; especially considering the game was refereed by Phil Mitchell.
