Sure, I nicked it from www.b3ta.com anyway.

The good thing about a majority of Bristol City fans is that they take the whole 'Worzel' thing in good heart.

I used to work with a bloke who was very proud of his straw-chewing heritage and boasted to all and sundry of his Worzel records

While most clubs like to take the pish we actually quite like being called Wurzles, at least it gives us an identity - Bit like Swindon being a identified as a bunch of inbred sore loosers

Tom F, thank you for your critical appraisal of the people of that part of Wiltshire.

I am left with a dilemma as I have 2 nephews living near Bath, should I encourage them to become Albion fans like their uncles or encourage them to follow one of the Bristols (I have always believed that you should follow your local team, the only exception being when you have strong family links to another), or just make sure that they don't support Swindon.

I used to take the piss out of my woman at the time and all her Bristolian friends for being cider drinking inbreds. Obviously she stoutly refuted the claim. Then I moved up there.

First night out we get on the bus into town and there's some bloke in front of us who clearly fits the bill, bearded and weird. First words I heard him say?

"I used to sleep in a barn, ya know"

I nearly pissed myself.

I think tradionally Bath sides with those on the other side of the City - Rovers - So while I wouldn't encourage it, its more common!

That said, why not get them into some real footie and send them down to watch Twerton Park that way you could get them supporting Brighton as a second team or vice versa
