Extract from Hull City's official web site just now: - Get to know Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship opponents - Bristol City - a little better with six facts you may not have known about the Robins. 1 The club was originally named Bristol South End when formed in 1984 before changing its name to Bristol City three years later. 2 Bristol City's traditional rivals are Bristol Rovers. The clubs have met 105 times, with the first meeting in 1897. Bristol City have the most wins on 43. However, the clubs have not been in the same league since the 2000/01 season. Since then, they have only met four times, all of which have come in the Football League Trophy. 3 Despite being an English club, Bristol City won the Welsh Cup in 1934, beating Tranmere Rovers 3-0 in a replay after the initial game finished 1-1. 4 Ashton Gate once staged an international baseball fixture between USA and Canada in July 1918 - 2,000 people saw USA beat their close neighbours 6-5. 5 Despite being an English club, Bristol City won the Welsh Cup in 1934, beating Tranmere Rovers 3-0 in a replay after the initial game finished 1-1. 6 The Robins are the most successful team in the history of the Football League Trophy, lifting the trophy in 1986, 2003 and 2015. Point 1. No, I am sure that Bristol City have been known as Bristol City for at least the last 55 years that I have had an interest in football. Point 2. 'the clubs have not been in the same league since 2000/01 season' Really? I mean how wrong can they be? Didn't the Wembley 2008 play off final happen then? Bad enough in itself but they then go on to claim 'Since then, they have only met four times, all of which have come in the Football League Trophy.' Points 3 and 5 are 'remarkably similar' points too! Would it not be possible to run this past someone with some basic knowledge of Hull City AFC's and Bristol City's history before publishing it online and making the club look foolish? Yes, I know it's too late for that!
Point 2 is about their rivals Bristol Rovers. Edit. Like everything they put out you have to read it several times to understand what it is they are trying to say, even if it is wrong if you see what i mean.
Yesterday they tweeted... Hull City @HullCity The University of Hull sponsor new football tournament ran by @tigerstrust for local primary schools.
These are just six (or five) random dobs of ****e. No relevance, coherence or purpose. Lazily cut and pasted in three minutes by an inept junior employee. We should loan them Chazz to show them how it should be done. Match day threads? I've **** 'em. I'm the daddy now, next time, I'll ****ing kill ya.
Point 2. 'the clubs have not been in the same league since 2000/01 season' Really? I mean how wrong can they be? Didn't the Wembley 2008 play off final happen then?
