Ten things...

Bristol Rovers
1 There was plenty of rugby being played in the south-west and suddenly this outfit called Black Arabs wanted to play football in the Bristol area. The trouble was, at least 'City' sounded like a representative team.
2 By 1897 the club was at Eastville and settled at their local athletics ground. So just when this team stopped moving around, they became Bristol Rovers.
3 Rovers were successful in Southern League before and after WW1, while City were in the Football League. They joined third division south in 1920 but found they were still regarded as Bristol's no.2 club.
4 They adopted blue and white quarters in the thirties and converted their ground into a greyhound stadium. What trap did those colours come out of then?
5 After WW2 Rovers claimed they invented the long ball game and got into div2. But as ever in football their opponents found a way to counter it and yeah, relegation was the short answer.
6 In 1980 their south stand burned down and consequently they did a spot of ground sharing at Ashton Gate. Unfortunately City went skint and doubled the rent. Like playing 'God' eat dog, as a need to be superior to poor dumb friends probably.
7 Pirates went off to Bath to play at Twerton Park, which meant a trip of 13 miles for fans every fortnight. Either that or plunder, rape and pillage Ashton Gate in a red funk of schizophrenia.
8 Somebody burned Twerton stands down and only one guess as to which club near Clifton had provided usual suspects?
9 In 1996 Rovers got a deal at the rugby pitch in Horfield, which was kind of back to their roots in more senses than just one 'all round' one.
10 Bristol RFC went down the pan and suddenly Pirates felt flush, got aboard and took the prize, if you see what we mean.
