Outside England wasn't PSG formed from a merge between 2 clubs, circa the 70s? In England (but a long time ago) Torquay United and Ellacombe merged to form Torquay Town, Torquay Town then merged with Babbacombe to form Torquay United 11 years later. Not the most recent, but an odd one. Rushden & Diamonds was a more recent merger of two non-league sides I believe? I seem to remember fans of Irthlingborough Diamonds being very pissed off that their town name wasn't kept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right, '92. 11 years later they had got from the Southern League Midlands division to what is now League 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Clearly the op is in the know and the simple reality is that fc bristol will be our club next season playing in red and white quarters and managed by darrell clarke with lee johnson as director of football. Fantastic a new dawn where all of bristol are united with just one aim To avoid relegation from the championship next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoSheds Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 None of the 15ers current squad are good enough to get into the City first team. The only one MT is being used as a sub. So any merger would be bye bye to all the 15ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Perhaps the big secret that BS won`t announce is that the Atyeo is in fact being demolished and is to be replaced by some mobile canvas structures currently in use at the mem.

Both have worn white shorts. Ellis Harrison or whatever his name is went to a City match. Maybe the merger has been underway for years and we haven't realised it. Or maybe not. We once wore blue too......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Not the first time we will have been in a merger - we were born out of a merger after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secret talks held and SL announces Rovers and City to merge under the Bristol Sport banner. New name will be AFC Bristol. Team to play at Ashton Gate. LJ director of football with Hollowhead brought in as head coach. Could happen.........take a look at Rover's facebook page; almost identical to City's. The merger has already started in secret. I totally agree. I was talking with my pet hamster yesterday and he said heard from someone ITK that this was absolutely definitely going to happen. Although what I heard was that games wont be played at Ashton Gate. From 2018/2019 all home games will be played on the moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Wally`s already started building the new stadium on the dark side where no-one can see it so it can be revealed to the media in a blaze of glory when completed.
