There is a lot of Welsh ancestry in Bristol if you go back far enough. Edit: I'm not Welsh btw, despite the sidebar. I could of explained my opinion better, I’ve no problem with our Welsh supporters, however I would not want a Welsh City flag as there’s nothing Welsh about our club! The same way no Cardiff or Swansea fan would want a St George’s cross associated with their club.

City 82 came back won promotion, beat Rovers even with students and week to week contract players, went to Wembley 5 times and won 3, and went on to spend more seasons in the 2nd tier, and were within 90 minutes of making it to the Premiership whilst the Rovers ship sprang holes and leaked all over the shop. Incidentally, Bristol City 1982 as a company name ceased on 20th December 1996, but the Sags continue to live in the past, which is hardly surprising really is it?

They turned up at Ashton Gate to watch us get beat and every so often couldn't wait to get the hell out of the away end and take a week off sick rather than have it rammed down their throats from work colleagues, Roger Malone, the Big Match, Grandstand, BBC and ITV sports news, the national news papers.....week in, week out they were very very tortured souls, everyone everywhere was a Ted and they became completely engulfed with envy and more often than not the envy would turn to rage resulting in displays of mindless violence from angry Sags who needed an outlet for their pain. Remember, they experienced a bit of momentum themselves in the early 70's. They won the massive Watney Cup albeit on the lottery of a penalty shootout, beat Brian Clough's Brighton 8-2. Won promotion to the 2nd tier with 'Smash and Grab' and were "coming for City".....but then City went one better and their achievements were completely forgotten about. They stagnated in Division 2 and then started to go backwards, giving up on the football and turning to mindless terrace violence instead, eclipsing their 8-2 defeat of Brighton with getting totally hammered 9-0 by Tottenham in a game which John Motson described Rovers as "a VERY POOR SIDE", whilst over at BS3 Bristol City were putting European Champions Liverpool to the sword. Bristol was totally RED in the late 1970's and those of us who lived it can remember it well. Sags were generally quiet, unless of course they were on the lookout for trouble being the family club that they are. Rovers fans believed that Bristol City won promotion to Division One simply to get one over on Bristol Rovers FC, not for City's ambitions of progressing as a football club. So for Sags 1982 was like 'retribution' for the inflicted suffering and pain that they perceived was bestowed upon by Bristol City. Unbelievable pea brain mentality, but true all the same. The difference with Rovers in 2015 is that no new club was formed so we can all simply forget about their single season in the Vanarama. They are prowed, faithful and true.

FTG **** off Teds I think you undersell it!. I was 16 when we went up and lived for a fair chunk of my formative years in ‘blue’ areas. My late mum and her parents came from Kingswood but luckily my grandfather saw the light and was dyed in the wool red. I reckon I missed one home game in the Division 1 days and I think half the ‘trouble’ inside he ground was true away fans turning on sags who’d come to see us lose but were too spineless to come near the EE. It makes the ‘Teds in the away end thing’ all the more laughable. About 15 years ago I was in a bar in Geneva after a Grenats (Servette) game. I was with some Swiss friends so probably not even speaking English when some Neanderthal shouted ‘Shithead’ at me and started shouting ‘Roverzzzzzzz’ across the bar. Who gives these morons passports? That club has alwas defined ‘success’ as ‘better than City’ whereas we seem to prefer ‘the best we can be’. Mind you, my sister defined 80/81 as a good season because we finished above the Sags - we were both relegated and we finished wih more points than goals but we were above them in the table. I see a few parallels wih the early 1970s at the moment. We have backed a beleagued manager and he looks to be starting to come good. Sags have done reasonably well on the pitch but finances look to be dire. The important thing is that should we get promoted we manage it better this time, and compared with the 1970s the media coveage would be vast. That would tip our neighbours over the edge in so many ways. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing wrong with singing about local sides that see themselves as rivals, nothing wrong with talking about them. As SJ said, the problem comes when you judge your own clubs success on how you have performed in comparison to them. We no longer do this, nobody saw last season as a success because we finished higher than the fewers. we are now looking upwards and focussing on that, they are watching our rear ends disappear into the distance and desperately trying to keep up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singing songs about them and comparing ourselves to them are 2 different things though Calculus. While we will always 'hate' them and sing with pride that we do, I don't think we measure success by our relative positions anymore, at least I hope we don't, we've moved on. Do't get me wrong, I laugh when they lose and their relegation to non league was hysterical but they're no match for City, they know it, we know it and I genuinely don't think it's a comparison many at our place make anymore.
