Guest Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 NO One team have only ever paid to watch one team in Bristol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderHider Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hell no, the thought of sitting alongside sags cheering a Bristol Utd is totally out of the question. Can you see Chelsea and Tottenham forming a London Utd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 If there was no City then I would have to support a local team that play in blue and white. Thank goodness I now live in Peterborough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I find the whole idea rather stressful. A better way to do it would be to close down Rovers, and announce that there is now only one team in Bristol. "Bristol City" seems like an apt name for the new club as it represents the city of Bristol. Oh and we could move to a brand new Stadium at Ashton Vale.

'Orns Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Wouldn't support a Bristol United, not a Bristolian - so wouldn't appeal to me. Would either be my local team, Forest Green or would go with my best mate and follow Oxford around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonreds Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 i think we would all hate the idea at first and bit by bit most of us would drift down there in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I'd probably do every England game home and away and not bother with domestic football. POSSIBLY go and watch Villa or Chelsea as both are easy to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Red Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 If City and Rovers had never exsisted and all we had ever known was a Bristol United then of course i would suport them... Weather we like to admitt it or not we would probably be a more succesful club and have a bigger fan base etc. City and Rovers merging to form a Bristol United is totally different issue thou, never in a million years would i support them!

Nogbad the Bad Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 A season ticket in the away end at the Memorial Ground maybe. I'd probably go to FGR now and again, enjoyed the pre-season friendly there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Another vote for Torquay United. Seem to be a few reds casually supporting the Gulls. Spent a match a couple of years ago talking with another City supporter (with a far better golf handicap than moi!). Haven't been back for a season or so though after they threw a two goal lead against the Sags. Plonkers. Exeter or Plymuff could be back ups.

Nogbad the Bad Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I remember being faced with this as a real possibility in the pub before the game at Newport when we all thought we really were about to witness Bristol City's last match. The general concensus was we'd have no interest in actively watching League football and there would just be a huge void. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich i e Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 ...occasionally, the spectre of a "Bristol United" raises its head...if City no longer existed, would you support AN other team, or sit down with the Gas to cheer for a single Bristol team? It dont think it could ever be branded a 'United' for obvious history reasons. It could capture the imagination if someone new came in, bought City and Rovers, took City's league position, built a brand new stadium, called themselves Bristol, played in all White perhaps....? May get enough support from existing City and Rovers (even though they may not admit it) plus some new follk. Personally I'm not convinced, if it did happen, I'm probably too long in the tooth to change, I'd pursue my 33 long quest to get my golf handicap into single figures!

Bob Taylor is GOD Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I think a "United" club would get less fans than Rovers! It would alienate both City and Rovers fans - and wouldnt attract "new" fans until it reached the Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
