The 11 hour shift I did yesterday is pure fiction. Not working today. Not working tomorrow. Bristol was built on lazy bastards like me. Uncle TFR (off for a kip, having worn myself out posting) Unk, 11 hours in one day is not even a half day, you really must do better. So now after working less than a half day you get 2 off ................... sweet dreams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the population of the 'City of Bristol' area which is really quite small.

reformed_red Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Dunno about you lot, but any article that reminds us: "City have only spent two spells in top-flight football, the last a four-year spell which ended in 1980, while Rovers have never been higher than the second tier." ....is acceptable to me.

As mentioned by our esteemed fellow red, that's from 25 years ago. The last figure I read was 450,000 in the 'City' area and well over a million in the greater Bristol area. If you knew the area WTGR, it makes sense. It's bit like a mini Manchester, that has a small city population (514K) but a massive population of nigh on 2.5 million in the greater Manchester area.
