Not sure about that. Remember our days in the top flight and the Lord Lucan joke?

Alas ,tis true , little old Bristol gatecrashing the top division and hardly getting a mention .

We were always the last match reported in the papers ,usually along the lines of " Malcolm Macdonald's debut ends in dis appointment as Arsenal lose narrowly at Highbury  "

You can look at that in different ways.

1) it's derogatory and be seen as offensive.

2) it's a fact. City are in the Championship - the BBC could have chose to mention any other SBC club. Newcastle or Villa for example but they chose us. It's a compliment......

To be fair, I think (may be wrong) that the Lord Lucan joke was the year we got relegated (1980) when we were the lowest scorers in Div 1, so we were the obvious target for that joke. At the time, I remember being pleased that we had been mentioned on Not the Nine O'clock News!

I think one headline was Suffering Supermac. Might have been Evening Standard though so understandable. Pretty sure they said Tom Ritchie was a future England international.

Funny you should say that. Sat outside the Annexe waiting for the big game to finish. Even Gasheads can't get a seat because of the plastics :(
