Indeed if we say it enough, then another team wanting to play in the city would have to take the Liverpool approach, and call yourself something completely different. Of course there is no London named side, so this is not hard to accept. So Horfield it should be. We are Bristol Horfield Rovers, I like that, sounds like the pub team they are.

Really? I can't imagine anyone other than a City fan would be watching an interview with Scott Golbourne on our club website. It's actually in the wider media - tv, radio and papers that it matters more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted October 28, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 For a member of the club and a lifelong fan who now plays for the team it is an odd phrase to use Equally if someone said to me, do you want to watch "Bristol" this weekend? I would assume they were talking about the rugby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderingred Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 I get strangely touchy when we are referred to as Bristol by opposition fans. It just gives me the impression that they know so little about our club that they cant even say our name correctly.. Its really one of my pet hates and ill admit its a bit odd.

Ok so presume that only Bristol City fans are watching. I'd ask whether a Bristol City fan watching an interview on the Bristol City site in which a Bristol City player is being asked about Bristol City needs clarification as to which Bristol based football team is being referred to when that player (or the interviewer) says "Bristol".

Wanderingred Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 19 minutes ago, Griffin said: Just like we say Hull, Stoke etc.. We might. And we call Bradford "Bradford" and Cardiff "Cardiff" (or scumbag plastic Malaysian sellout sheep worriers FC ) but their fans when talking amongst themselves refer to their club as "City". So should we. And given that there are sadly still two clubs in Bristol, Id expect other clubs to call us Bristol City to show awareness of that and distinguish us. When they dont it just gives the impression that they see Bristol as a bit of a footballing backwater. I guess its not that important and I dont really have much of a point... Im just a bit of a geek when it comes to meaningless semantics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now where is that fishing emoticon when you need it? I'll bite, but only to say that I believe you are not allowed to change your name for commercial reasons.
