Bristol City FC
The Robins
Founded 1894, Stadium: Ashton Gate, Capacity: 27,000
Founded in 1894, Bristol City FC have played their home games at Ashton Gate since 1904. The club’s highest-ever league finish was second in the top flight in 1906-07. Their nickname is The Robins. Bristol City is the favourite club of Monty Python actor John Cleese. Their main rivals are Bristol Rovers, with whom they contest one of the most fiercely-contested derbies in England: the Bristol Derby. With Cardiff City they contest also another derby: the Severnside derby. The club’s current crest is a modernised version of a Robin. A robin featured on the club’s badge from 1976 to 1994 and from 2019 onwards. The club’s previous crest was a simplified version of the coat of arms of the city of Bristol.
