Bristol City - the most boring club in English football
oldstandrobin replied to StefanDimz's topic in Football Chat
Cant help but think of the quote I heard recently ' There are 24 clubs in the Championship, 11 going for promotion, 11 avoiding relegation and there are also Bristol City and Preston North End ' -
Spot on. Many a year when we were in the old third division or later, League One, we dreamed of this. But a lot of us older fans have come to realise that the dream of competing at the top table was given us once and like Halley's Comet only re-appears after many many years !

Once upon a time in my day it was all about going to a game and gazing in awe as your local chairman, ie for us the late and loved Harry Dolman, swept into the car park in his RR, cigar alight and breezed into the directors entrance, getting your Bovril in the East End and watching Big John's Brylcreem slip another past the opposing keeper. Now you have to have a degree in Accountancy to compete on a fans forum. Happy Days now long gone .

Cant help but agree CR, after supporting them for so long, sick to death of being overtaken by likes of Bournemouth and many more, we now face yet another period of possibly entering a relegation battle, will NEVER see Prem football in my lifetime at AG I'm afraid.Lansdown Snr and Jnr have betrayed genuine City supporters.
