BRISTOL CITY<br />

OPPOSITION<br />

OVERVIEW<br />

O P P O S I T I O N O V E R V I E W<br />

<strong>Bristol</strong> is famously the only major city in England never to<br />

have had a Premier League football club.<br />

However, with some big investment both on and off the pitch,<br />

the Robins from Ashton Gate will be looking to right that<br />

wrong sooner rather than later.<br />

Struggles throughout the early 1980s left <strong>City</strong> in the fourth<br />

division of English football before a resurgence the following<br />

decade. The Robins then yo-yoed between tiers two and<br />

three but have now remained at this level since 2015/16.<br />

Redevelopment of their iconic ground has left <strong>City</strong> with a<br />

stadium fit for top-flight football and, boasted by a squad<br />

filled with talent, the Robins could be ones to watch this term.<br />

That said, <strong>City</strong> have started the current campaign somewhat<br />

inconsistently and will need to find their feet sooner rather<br />

than later in order to mount a promotion push come May.<br />
