Malago Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Seems about right. I would put us above QPR, Huddersfield and Charlton, but can’t argue with the overall position of a mid Championship team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 6th biggest city, 35th biggest club. Therein lies the statistics of all our heartaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 18th commercially. That is very good and shows how much the revamped Ashton gate was needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prinny Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Yeah about that is fine IMO. And safely puts us into PL2 if both premier leagues have 18 teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 18th for Commercial Revenue (if that's true) is really impressive. That makes us the best for commercial revenue at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Intresting reading. So watford have almost 2 million fans on social media, but we brought in more than 2 million in revenue then them? is this right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfield were the first club to do the double . Club defined by its history imo . Huddersfield have rich history . Charlton were also a big London club back in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 If anything, I think it is quite kind to us. You could easily make a case for Watford, Preston or Coventry having a more impressive history than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 The highest placed club not to have played in the Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Looks about right to me but given they've taken into account the club history to 1888 I'm surprised we finish above Preston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Fanbase wise coventry, watford, preston, couldnt live with us. Ive seen us take 5 to 6 to all those grounds, and its been like a home game. Never saw them return the compliment though. I recall coventry brought loads once when woods scored, when we both had to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember them more a less filling the old east end for a 3rd Round Fa Cup tie in 2007 if my memory serves me correctly. We have always travelled well to the Ricoh though in recent years.

Oh Louie louie Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Thats right bris. We took loads the following season in the leauge too and we stuffed them again. The whole side of the stand was filled both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 A history of winning the odd cup or being around for a long time counts for nothing when things go bad. Wimbledon, notts county, and it didnt help coventry in the bottom divsion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is dubious, implies the best quality comes from England players We may be a bit of a "posher" city than, say, similarly sized Nottingham, but I don't think our lack of a higher placing can be put down to that. There are still big parts of Bristol that are working-class and many, many, many traditional Bristolians, whose family have lived there for generations. Personally I think an Ancient Briton put a curse on the land that became Ashton Gate. It's the only sensible explanation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
