Bristol City Football Club - A History
Posted on 02. Jan, 2009 by admin in History
Bristol City is not only popular as a travel destination, but its Bristol City Football Club is also one of the best in the UK. Even though it is nothing compared to other giants such as Manchester United and Liverpool, Bristol City Football Club remains an active football club, being one of the two football clubs present in Bristol. The other football club in Bristol is the rival Bristol Rovers.
Founded in the year 1897, their stadium is at Ashton Gate, Bristol. The football club was founded after Bristol South End changed its name to Bristol City. With Steve Lansdown as the chairman and Gary Johnson as the manager, one can predict that they are going to lead Bristol City Football Club towards success.
There are quite a few honours that they have earned over the years. They won the Football League in 1906-1907, Welsh Cup in 1934 and the latest the Football League One in the year 2006-2007. Just like any other football clubs, there were ups and downs before success.
Even though they suffered in the latest 2008/2009 season, they are also making a comeback in early 2009 with 13 points from five games to reach the 8th place. That is not bad at all considering a new season has just begun.
