Definitely a Liverpool love in around our City. I’ve got blood-relatives, Bristol born, who support Liverpool over City. They don’t get Christmas cards.

A Darkwood Red Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Does it matter who any of our players, whether academy or signed, supports. I know City season ticket holders in Rovers youth set up. Its irrelevant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiled Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Players have the free will to support any team they choose. How they play for us is how I judge them. I never once had a reason to question Bobby Reid's commitment. End of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoxton casual Posted October 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 I am not questioning Bobby's commitment and still think he was a great player for us who gave his all. I just always thought he was a fellow City fan and that naturally gives me a closer affinity to a player. It has been a pretty rare occurrence!

I’ve got blood-relatives, Bristol born, who support Liverpool over City. They don’t get Christmas cards. It is for that reason I absolutely detest Liverpool. My friends often mock me for our results and say I should support a proper team, my response is I do support a real team, I go to a real stadium, I hear the real sounds of the stadium, I know what it's like to experience a real match day. I wouldn't change it for their SKY TV viewing experience. With Bristol City I feel a deep local connection with them, Bristol City runs through my blood, my dad supported them before me and his father before him. With them two no longer with us then going to the ground makes me feel closer to them. I now take my kids along and I hope when they grow older they will take their children along to carry it on.

I don't detest Liverpool, but I completely agree with your views on people supporting a team they have no connection with, apart from them being successful. I also agree with you on why supporting your local club through generations, is a special joy. I could not replicate through watching a team on TV.

hoxton casual Posted October 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 I feel the same about England. I am English and I therefore support them. If a player who is to all intents and purposes English, but decides to play for another country then I would not feel such a close an affinity as someone who did. Joe Bryan rejecting Scotland is a decision I can understand. Its a feeling of belonging and where you come from. Its does get quite complicated but it's how I feel. It doesn't stop me supporting wholeheartedly players who wear our shirt but support and or play for other clubs or national teams. For instance l love Callum Odowda and the way he plays in our shirt.

weepywall Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Let's be honest here, the majority of football "fans" in the Bristol and surrounding areas have little or no interest in City or Rovers, pubs in Bristol get packed when Utd or Liverpool and the rest are on but you struggle to find a pub showing a City game. I walk from Temple Meads to games and the amount of shirts of the premier teams that I see in Bedminster is incredible, you generally wouldn't know City are playing until fairly close to the ground but I do think things are changing, you see lots of youngsters at Ashton Gate these days.

For whatever reason. Can't stand it when I hear bollocks like: "You can't be a fan/supporter of more than one club". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Does It matter? It might well be down to a favourite player he admired when he was a kid, a fondness for the style of football they play or a genuine love of the club. Players receive a financial investment (wages) from a club, we make a financial investment IN a club. Big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good for the English game if English clubs do well in Europe. Apart from Liverpool, they are the exception, they can f off and I hope they lose every game they play. I don't follow a premier League team, there is teams I enjoy watching but whoever Liverpool is playing for that game I'm a big fan of the opposing team.

Teams below U16 play Sunday's and 16's/18's play Saturday (usually) in the morning so can still get to games in time after theirs finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
