Paddy31 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Right. This is a whinge. We are Bristol City. Or City if thats too hard (but there are other clubs called that). We are not Bristol. They play at the Memorial Stadium. Not very well. Bristol has other football clubs too. Bristol Manor Farm. Bristol Academy. Bristol Rovers. They play at the Memorial Stadium. Not very well. So, why do all the meeja keep calling us Bristol? It gets right on my Bristols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossjonesuk Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 i personally find it quite funny as there making it out to be that we are the only team in bristol! Very true... but also find it a little insulting... they wouldn't call Man City "Manchester"? Still, like you say, as long as they recognise us as Bristol and not Bristol Manor Farm or any of the other lower league teams, then it's kind of a hidden compliment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red badger Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I'm in the One Team in Bristol camp... There's only one Bristol team that the country is talking about today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwicolin Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 they don't call sheffield wednesday " sheffield " as there is a utd team as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Jim Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Both Sheffield teams are of roughly equal standing. Both Manchester teams are very well known. So no comparison there. Given that the BBC are currently struggling to comprehend there is life in the championship beyond the ex-prem north east, they're hadly likely to have noticed the lower reaches of league one. Take it as a complement...the world recognises there is one team in bristol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
