    MK Dons have followed your example. They also changed their name (from Wimbledon to MK Dons) and lost all of their history in the process. Just Like you reds.
    Only difference between you both is MK Dons moved home and didnt have the same financial crisis as what your former club had.
    What makes you worse than them is they probably didnt rip up contracts forcing players to leave and thats because they can handle their finances better.

    Indeed, no you didnt. We had to lose our place because...
    A) Someone caused millions of damage trying to burn the place down <grr>
    B) We couldnt afford to stay.

    So we did the right thing so keep our club as an actual club. It would have been easy to just throw in the towel and start again by forming a new club, losing our entire history in the process!

    Maybe you should have sold Ashton Gate to keep your footballing integrity, instead of starting again in 1982. Yes you would have been homeless like we were but im sure you would have found somewhere like we did thanks to Bath City <ok>

    What is all this losing our history rubbish? Find me a football history website or a football history book that shows that the club that got to a FA Cup Final or spent those years in the top division is different to the one that won 3 Football league trophies and the League One title last season.

    The only people who say that we have lost our history are those that are jealous of it.

    I thought it was taking you a while to mention Warnock.. Yeah I'm really happy for him he's done a good job.

    The official record books has simply combined both clubs together. But your own club confirms "a new club was formed". Its a bit hard to argue that fact really. So feel free to keep your history if it makes you all feel better. But Bristol City Football Club died in 1982 and Bristol City Football Club 1982 Limited was born. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to understand that when your old club died in 1982, everything died with it, its records, its history, its achievements and of course, its financial troubles too.

    Anyway, have a good day Loaths <hug><ok>

    Warnock is the best. It even says so here http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36074705

    Plus, Dyche is a red so it cant be him ;)

    Goal difference is important. Teams can get relegated on goal difference. Trust me, I know this is a fact <cry>

    I dont know about that. I predicted Plymouth will mess it up. They have. I predicted Rotherham (Warnock) will finish higher than City (LJ)... so far so good ;)

    It is a bit of a shock that City have come up with a red shirt for their home kit next season <doh>:emoticon-0105-wink:

    I think the hashtags are all a bit of a storm in a tea cup. There are worse things that could be on the shirt. Like a pirate or a local boozer for instance :emoticon-0105-wink: but all joking aside I have no problems with the shirt but red shorts!!!!!!. Now that's what people should be complaining about!
