WELCOME... I know we 'hate' the word 'soccer' and I know it's an old debate but 'soccer' is older than 'football' in terms of when it was first used.

While doing some research on my family history I discovered that both my mother and father's sides are traced back to Bristol, England. I'm a Football fan living "across the pond" and I've decided to become a full supporter of Bristol City FC. I'm sure there's a lot of intelligent and well informed individuals on this site so I come to all of you to ask, what should I know about BCFC upfront? Eager to learn about the club, Google is helpful but I have a feeling this forum would be a huge help! Thanks in advance. Depending where you live there are various USA Bristol City associated fan groups. I've watched a few games with the NYC lads top bunch. ps GOOD CHOICE.

JoeAman08 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 No more spots for American supporters, sorry. Nah, just kidding. Though you came at a good time. We're struggling and apparently it's the norm. So you can acclimate to it normally. I moved here last season and expected a playoff push. Imagine my disappointment. Dont listen to them about Pack. Does a lovely job for us in there. Remember it Jonathan Kodjia. Like Cod-Ja not Wheelie Bin. Some guys named fielding and flint are in the building and having a party.

deadredfred Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Here's what I know.... If you know something about the secret goings on at the club then you can claim to be ITK (In The Know.) If you haven't the faintest idea of what's going on at the club, you too can claim to be ITK. You simply post the piece of information (bullet proof, 24-carat fact, or total boredom-induced horse mess) into a post and sit back and watch. In an often frenzied fashion, we all then spend the following three days discussing and replying to everyone and anyone who either is, or isn't, offically ITK as to whether the story originates because the information came from someone genuinely ITK, or that they heard it from someone else ITK, someone pretending to be ITK, or someone not ITK to any degree, with many more permutations inbetween. Like this very post, it can be a challenge. But it is a constant and continual theme, so as a fully fledged member of OTIB, please join us.

As you can see many intelligent and well informed individuals are keen to help a fellow full supporter, which team did you support before and/or still do in addition to Bristol City FC? Out of interest, where across the pond? What sort of information would you like to know that you cannot find out on Google? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
