Right thanks for that.

Our nickname is The Robins, because we play in, um, brown and orange! 

I find it amazing that a lot of younger Bristol City supporters don’t know that we only got the Robins nickname in 2005 after the then-board made a decision to change the nickname based on a vote for the fans’ favourite ever loan signing. The Robins narrowly beat the Rougiers and the rest is history.

I first watched in the 60's and the team ran out out to "When the red, red robin comes bobbing along".

Have I been whooshed? 😃

Match preview!

As part of the 1/16 finals of the FA Cup on January 26, Bristol City and Nottingham Forest will fight for victory.

Best not get into the fact that the song was about the American Robin, rather than the European one.

But he didn't even make the bench for their match with Spurs and they are out.

I guess these things are written into the deal, but it seems a shame that he can't play for us tonight.

He played for Hull, against Birmingham
