They've gone downhill fast. I remember 18 months ago being in Leeds when they drew 1-1 at Elland Road in the 4th Round of the FA Cup. I saw some of their fans after the game in the city centre all smiles and remember thinking how they were on a high now but are one of those clubs who could easily fall back down.

We seem to pass each other with alarming regularity. Remember being at an away game there and talking to their lot in a pub afterwards. A few seasons later we were in the Prem and they were down to Lge2 and we couldn't be much further apart. Then the tables turned about twice since. Lets hope if they're on the downturn again it means we're back on the up!

Quite remarkable really that in over 100 years they haven't managed a single season in the top division, especially for a city that size, have to be one of the biggest underachievers in English football history, lovely club though - good fans too.

They're having a crisis yet they beat us 1-0 and we didn't lay a glove on them. So that shows how far off it we are, or have been.

Always admire there away followings,750 at Mansfield on a Tuesday night is impressive.

Huddersfield away on Saturday - big game for both teams considering current form has Huddersfield 23rd and Plymouth 22nd!!

530 mile round trip on a Tuesday night. 750 is very impressive considering their league position.

There a big club. That’s why it makes me laugh when some of our fans think we are we’re an average size team in this league.

I reckon Ian Holloway would have got them there if he hadn't taken the poisoned chalice that was the Leicester City job back in 2007/08

Why the exclamaion marks?

 

[Martonmosser]

Over 10,000 of them at city in the cup last season after our game at Bolton if I remember correctly

The travelling for miles every other week must be incredibly soul destroying

Or half the away games they must be seeing double vision for drinking so early to numb the travelling pain.

Probably tricky to get players to go there due to the location, most would probably prefer a club in the midlands or north as first choice, to be closer to home.

What about him?

I remember (true or false) his choice of location choosing between us & Plymouth was mentioned on here.

We are far bigger with an illustrious history.

Here we go again talking about history as a fan base we are very average. Atmosphere wise and numbers wise. We do well considering how small the town is compared to other clubs. But let’s stop pretending we’re a massive club because we’re not.

 

[BFC76]

Mate is a Plymouth fan and is convinced they are in an irreversible position now - went to Huddersfield on Saturday and saw nothing to indicate otherwise.

 

[Threepeaksphil]

Location is a problem but Bristol City much bigger underachievers

Who has said we are 'a massive club'?

They've brought Derek Adams in to lurk over Tom Cleverley's shoulder ominously
