Managers Views
We caught up with new Real Bristol manager Scott Budding to get his views on the season so far on and off the pitch….
Q/ How do you feel you have settled into the role as manager of the club?
A/ I feel I have settled in very well. It was always going to be difficult coming in so close to the start of the season. I had no time to work with the players pre-season but I do feel things are already looking promising for the club.
Q/ One win and one defeat. Happy with the start?
A/ No, not really. You are only a winner if you think like one and I want to win every game. It was very disappointing to lose that first game but I would like to add that the performance in that game was pretty good. We certainly did enough to win the game but it was just one of those days. We responded well in the cup and we will kick on from here. We had a good training session last Sunday and the effort the lads put in was very pleasing.
Q/ Any more additions to the squad likely to happen?
A/ I said when I took over that the existing players will be given an opportunity. I haven’t said to anyone that I would like to release them from the squad and I don’t plan to. Everyone has a chance to prove themselves. I have brought in a couple of players in areas we were short or needed improving and I have a couple of other players signing on who will add competition for places if I bring them in.
They may have to wait for their chance though as we have a big squad. Not including myself we had 13 at the last game and with Palmer and Macey to come back in that gives me 15. Having said this there can be no room for complacency and if changes need to be made to take the club forward then I will not hesitate to make them. But make no mistake, the current squad has the ability to succeed this season and if we continue to work together we can achieve great things. I will only make changes to the squad if necessary not for the sake of it.
Q/ Good news about the sponsorship yes!?!?!?!?
A/ Fantastic news. The deal that has been struck with The Parkway is terrific for the football club. We are in the process of ordering a brand new kit of the highest quality and a few other purchases which will soon be on view for all to see. Not only does it allow us to go out and buy these things but it makes the club financially stable which is very, very important. The Parkway has done a fantastic thing for us so I hope all the players show their appreciation and ensure they try to attend The Parkway after matches etc.
Q/ Any thoughts on the Pullin Cup draw?
A/ Well we have been handed a challenging game against ‘Sportsman’. I do not know too much about them personally but they are a division above us and are an established side in the 1st division so they are sure to provide a stern test. I am very pleased the game is at home though and with the home advantage I certainly feel we can, and will, progress to the next round.
Q/ And Sunday?
A/ Longwell Green Sunday. I have been told they are a good side. There will be no easy games this season in this division and we will have to work hard to get the result. They had an impressive result against Argonauts but did lose to an A1 Sports side missing some of there key players. Again we are at home so I will say 3pts for Real. I really want DRG to be a fortress this year. Would like to remain undefeated at home all season. It’s important we defend well. I have always said ‘If you don’t concede then you cannot lose!’. It’s obvious I know but that is the truth. We can score goals. We will always score goals and if we do not give goals away at the other end then we have the winning combination we are looking for.
Sunday 5th October – Real Bristol v Longwell Green Sunday. 10:30 am Kick-Off.

Well all the years I have been playing football i never would have thought a game would be called off in September.
Last month Real had not 1 but 2 friendlies called off due to rain. Is it time for a change in the league structure or a season start date being pulled back to late may?
One thing I do know is we have 15 players itching to play football..C,mon mother nature let up for gods sake!!
