Eddie Hitler Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 My second club has always been the one local to me wherever I've lived so that would then become my first club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 If City never existed...ever....then I really don't know, as circumstances would be so different. If City went down the drain now, I'd follow a team that I admire now. Locally, I enjoy going to FGR's.... I admire Southampton, Swansea and Arsenal. I follow Lazio as my 'foreign' team....

Ben4BCFC Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Had City never existed, I imagine all my family would have been Gasheads rather than it being split between us and the Blue Few as it is now. I'd probably have been Rovers. Were we to disband now though, I'd be FGR as it's only ten minutes from my Dad's house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Being a two club City its a pretty stupid question as mostly all of us would be supporting the sags, would be a better question to ask to fans that live in Towns and Citys with just one club to be honest!

SDBS36 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Chelsea for me, used to live and work in London and go to the bridge, that was back in the days of the cat (Peter Bonetti) Peter Osgood ect, did go to Villa park to watch them get beat by Man City in the Community Shield a couple of seasons back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marina's Rolls Royce Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I genuinely believe if there was no BCFC- I would never have supported another club. Growing up - I hated football and loved rugby but when I went to boarding school my best mate there who was in my dorm was Harry & Marina's nephew and introduced me to going to BS3- I was converted from the first match but if I hadn't gone with him- I doubt I'd have ever gone to any football match anywhere - like my brother . BCFC has given me some of the best and worst of times and I couldn't imagine my life without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 If city didn't exist most would be gas heads as they would be the only pro team in Bristol, But to answer your question I'd prob follow ether Layton orient or Elgin I'm with you at Elgin. Family connections with Soton, Ipswich, Elgin and (sadly) P'boro'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Obviously Rovers as I was born and grew up in Bristol. Anyone else with a similar background who says otherwise is no better than Bristol born Man Utd fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldstandrobin Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 dad and granddad were AG men, not sure about before them, apparently they supported a team called Bristol South End. I can trace my family back to 1811 and they all lived in the Bemmy/Ashton/Southville area so I cant imagine anything other than City. I do have a soft spot for Sheffield Wed as I lived there for 4 years in my teens and went to Wembley in 1966 v Everton and had a season ticket in the cantilever stand at Hillsborough. Luckily , Wed were in Division One then so their paths never crossed with City. City will always be the Numero Uno though and every time we play the Owls now, I hope for a draw !!

Chivs Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Manchester Utd If I can't have the pain, the grief, the long weekends after a loss, the long week after a Tuesday loss, the dismal pre-season march of tedium, the expensive poor food of Lindleys, and the patronising tone of the club that all come with loving Bristol City, then I might as well pick a team with the best hope of instant gratification.

BS13 Robin Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Fulham because they were my dads team (he was from Lambeth)and they were playing city at ashton gate when I went to my first game in 1971 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 For me it would have been West Ham. My brother and several other friends who I grew up with were all West Ham fans. I remember them taking me up to see the Rovers vs West ham game up the old Eastville ground. That was a day to remember. I remember several attempts by the rovers trying to break in to the west ham fans unsuccessfully. I remember standing with my mates near the exits at the back and a big West Ham fan was proudly showing off his axe he had hidden under his coat. I still don't know if he was there just to chop some firewood up or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenkibby. Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 For me it was leeds, was at Wembley for Chelsea 70. and sunderland 73. Was lucky enough to get tickets through local football. Then in 74 I think? we drew leeds in the cup. That was when you have only one team, 1/1 down the gate, then leeds who were unbeaten at that time, ellend road on a Tuesday aftermoon, [power strikes ] 40,000 crowd leeds first defeat of the season. leeds 0/1 city get in Donnie!!!

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Chelsea, have always had a soft spot for the blues from Stamford Bridge from a young age. I remember when the Chelski fans were ripping the tiles off the old shed by the open end and lobbing them at the City fans leaving the ground having beaten them 4-2 ( I think) Robbie Turner with 2. The City fans also had a soft spot but nothing a bandage couldn't sort out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Pains me to say but it would be Swindon. If city didn't exist then I'd have followed my mates and gone to Swindon games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I remember when the Chelski fans were ripping the tiles off the old shed by the open end and lobbing them at the City fans leaving the ground having beaten them 4-2 ( I think) Robbie Turner with 2. The City fans also had a soft spot but nothing a bandage couldn't sort out. That is one of my favourite memories of City games. Very exciting for a 16 year old in the East End. It was 3-2. Chelsea fans certainly weren't happy! Amazing how they now seem a completely different club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
