Port Said Red Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 I am up in a hotel in Sheffield tonight and my room service was delievered by a young French lad. As I was signing for the food, he looked at the badge on my CIty sweatshirt and said. "Ah Bristol City, you are having a very good season, no?" I thanked him and said I was impressed by his knowledge and he said he had been following our fortunes since we signed JK and then Famara, which just goes to show one way to extend a fanbase.

Well that's it then. Due to the instant recognition from a young French lad, we are now OFFICIALLY the biggest team in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red34 Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 I'd imagine the game against that little club in December might help with this too, as everyone will be Googling us after we beat them / give them a fright * * Yes I wanted to be really cocky but then my fan superstitions about jinxing it kicked in!

The number of times I've used it in conversation only to then have to explain it! I'm old enough to say that I was actually taught this expression in a French class at Primary school!

underhanded Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 When checking out of an apartment in Barcelona in September a Danish guy working there asked me where I was flying back to and I said Bristol. He knew about City and the Gas, and brilliantly said 'but your the bigger team with the nice ground no?'. he even commented on the tough 'spell' we'd had the season before. He knew a few of our players, and also commented on the fact that a city the size of Bristol was due a 'Prem' team. Funnily enough he'd never been to England, and when I asked why he knew what he did he simply said he was football obsessed! Made me smile, anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
