Red34 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Think the current ethos under Lansdown and Johnson sets us apart - the stats analysis and the team spirit + the money to back it up. Plus Ashton Gate looks amazing since the rebuild. Not even going to mention the fact we're forced to share a city with horse-punching, minibus-headbutting envious non-leaguers...

It probably is that, sadly. Most fans of other clubs would say that about us. Usually phrased as "HOW hasn't Bristol got a Premier League team?"

Put it another way. The largest city in England with two professional Football League clubs, with the least number of years spent in the top tier of English football. Many that are almost village size compared with Bristol, have achieved many more years than City and Rovers combined. The largest city in England with two professional Football League clubs which has never won the top league or a major cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have underachieved but we have still spent more time in the top two divisions than the lower two, something that the sags can only dream of what with their record of only 20 or so seasons in the second tier. When people bring up the history of failure of the Bristol football it always sounds as though we have been equally bad. Not so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 The way that SL stuck with LJ last season is one thing that sets us apart when the culture of sacking managers/coaches is so prevalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 We are the only club in the country that shares its Home city with another club, yet despite having a bigger stadium, bigger support, more successful history, better financial situation and better league placing, are still the smaller club...?
