I think you will find your name was changed from Bristol South End. You went along with that name change. jck
Bastards. Come on lads lets protest how dare they take away our Bristol south end name! Granted it was 1897 and we weren't a professional team then.
Fine. And you will now know you merged with your local rivals Bedminster. theres more but you can search and see for yourself however I have one really funny one left if you insist. jck
You don't need to tell us about OUR clubs history thank you, You're bringing up facts from over 100 years ago.
In 1894 Bristol South End Football Club was formed. Their games were all based at St. John’s Lane, Bedminster, but in 1897 the club decided to turn professional and changed their name. This was when Bristol City FC was officially formed. The first decision that was made by the professional club was to appoint a manager, and the title went to Sam Hollis who was originally the manager of Woolwich Arsenal. Hollis did not stay with the club for long though, and his position was taken over by Bob Campbell in 1899. Bedminster FC had always been the club’s rivals, but in 1900 the two clubs decided to merge, keeping the name Bristol City, and in 1901 they joined the football league after Hollis returned for another turn at being in charge. Their first ever league game was against Blackpool, when Billy Jones won the first cap for the team. The club had been moving between St. John’s Lane and Ashton Gate for their home games, so in 1904 a decision was made that Bristol City would officially adopt Ashton Gate as their home ground. Their introduction to the league was a good one, and by 1906 they had entered the First Division after becoming Second Division Champions.
