cider11 Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Not living in Bristol or down that way, I'm doing my geography coursework on sphere of influence on our fans, and i need to know what postcodes are normally thought of as areas of city fans come from in bristol and local surrounding areas, obviously BS3 is, but other than that i don't have a clue. If anybody knows that will be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Well, as you are talking a North-South divide (to an extent), you are looking atBedminster, Knowle, Brislington, Hengrove, Whitchurch, Hartcliffe, Withywood, Bishopsworth, Ashton etc. etc.Most of these are covered, I believe in BS3, BS4 and BS14, but, you might want to try a post code search to confirm that.Other than that, places along the Weston road, including W-S-M itself tend to favour the red half. Also, Clifton so you could say BS1.There is also a fan who comes from Chard. That means 50% of the male population in this case. The other 50% is his gay-lover who favours the cricket apparently.I'm sure others could offer better clarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westonred Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 In Weston Super Mare there is an influx of Brummies living down here so Villa, WBA , Wolves and Brum are quite well supported However the majority of local football supporters follow City, you have a few who follow the dark side but they never actually go to the matches.

BristolCity1992 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I don't know I am probably wrong but Southmead even though it is just down the road from the gas seems to be quiet a heavy City area, most people I know at least prefer City to Rovers saying that I am probably wrong as I don't talk to many Rovers fans. So chuck BS10 on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Regarding City more so than R*vers there isn't much clarety, as there's more of us we're more well spread and are more prone to attraction than the Bluefew.Not much help I know, but moreso now than ever due to well, Globalisation really you find City throughout the whole of Bristol as well as Somerset, South Gloucestershire and even West Witshire.

I've met at least 3 City fans in my local in Reading whilst watching the Sky games.Edit: Just to reply to the original poster, sadly BS37 where I come from is full of Sags. One of them was an ex-next-door-neighbour and he used to give me some stick when they were briefly on top in the early 90s. Unfortunately, just as we re-asserted ourselves at the top of the local tree, he moved house, never to be seen again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 For the first 22 years of my life I lived in various parts of BS7.I then had a BFPO number for nine years and since 1986, (like the Posh) I've had a PE2 postcode. I believe there are seven other City fans (three of them using this forum) living between South Lincs and Huntingdon who have PE postcodes.

I know people all through though but mainly older people than myself mainly my older brothers mates and they seem to be City fans from what I can remember, like I said I'm probably totally wrong I kinda of grew away from the estate when I left school and now only really chat to people to say hello. I have seen a few of the faces at City though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly manure, Hellski, and gooners.its just a commuter townHowever in deepest Aylesbury there are at least three Cider Reds apart from meself, and that don't include the RAF Halton lads n lasses. I have seen City shirts up there too..Gas free zone too thankfully.............now about the Swinetowners, Barfdiff, and Scumwall....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
