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 />
