Tinmans Love Child Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 There is a bit of City chat on this weeks Overlap (forward to 49mins), and earlier Roy Keane mentioned he was at AG for one of the women's games as well: if you haven't watched the Overlap I can recommend, there are some great interviews with various ex players and the weekly chat is pretty entertaining. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think this, we can't claim to be the only team in the city then get upset when we're referred to as Bristol 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people ask you who you support, do you say Bristol, or Bristol City? Bristol refers to the Rugby club imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 I like Jill Scott and she seems a lovely lady. But she does seem bit of a spare bit during these pods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambodinho Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Roy had to lean in closer to read what club name was on our badge. As it looks like about 4 other club’s badges and he probably never played against us in his career, that’s understandable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says he watched our game against Preston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they do the same with Rovers on the rare occasion that Rovers are relevant, so that logic doesn't track By they, referring to the wider media, not just these.

City oz Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 15 hours ago, Tinmans Love Child said: I have no issue with this as it implies there is only one team in Bristol so no real need to clarify the City part! I quite often mix with various people from the UK on a weekly basis. I love their respective different accents. I’m always proud to say I’m Bristol City and what club do you support. At the end of the day you are either red or blue in BrIstol and red has always been in my blood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. I have no problem with it. In fact I quite like the fact that the Bristol name is associated with us. It shows how irrelevant the others are. When I'm speaking to fans of other teams such as Cardiff City, Swansea City, Birmingham City, Coventry City etc I just refer to us as Bristol. I can't use City obviously in those conversations so just easier to say Bristol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 If and when City get promoted and stay there we will become Bristol, and it will be glorious. Imagine this hypothetical holiday bar chat between a random grim northerner and sag: “oh you support Bristol then?” “Well yes, Bristol Rovers” ……“who?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it all the time, nobody says City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
