However, if calling City fans 'Franchise' is known to annoy some City fans, I'm sure you will hear a lot more of it! Bristol Sport is in effect an overarching management company that provides common services to the football, rugby and basketball operations. A lot more efficient than each doing its own thing. I'm surprised somebody of your obvious intelligence could look at the definition of franchise and conclude that Bristol Sport is one. Not that it matters but it is rather pathetic that Gasheads cling on to franchise as a term of abuse because they are so far behind in every respect. Still, unique kit, most loyal fanbase, loved by the fans of every other club etc. etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only figures that matter are the end of season average for the whole campaign. To the best of my knowledge they haven’t bettered our away support figures this century and certainly not since 2012. There is no challenge, Gasheads saying they have better away support than us are talking bollocks and the statistics prove this. They will take over 2000 next week but then they’ve only visited St Andrew’s twice in the last 25 years. Like their trips in the cup to places like Molineux the novelty factor will bump up there attendance for this game.
