Bristol City to celebrate club's 125th anniversary against Fulham with discounted tickets

Bristol City are having a party - and you're invited. While there may yet be one come the end of the season if promoted, this one relates to celebrating the Robins' birthday.

Technically, last year was the 125th anniversary of the club - as recently confirmed to Bristol Live by club historian David Woods.

But City are celebrating the event at the home game against Fulham on Saturday 7 March instead.

The Robins began life in 1894 - as Bristol South End - later changing their name to Bristol City on adopting professionalism three years later when they were admitted into the Southern League.

And a range of announced tie-in celebrations will celebrate the plans, including discounted tickets priced at around £12.50 as per their 'mates' rates' scheme and members ticket prices.

The City players will also wear a limited edition commemorative shirt, available to buy, and a special souvenir programme will be on offer.

City Chairman Jon Lansdown told the club website:

"Earlier this season we were 125 years old and this will be a day for all City fans to celebrate the club that means so much to us.

"We feel it is right to offer discounted entry so that as many people can experience our home of Ashton Gate and we’re expecting a full house in what will be an important match.

"A limited edition shirt is in production which will celebrate City kits over the years and we are looking forward to making this available for supporters to view and pre-order ahead of March 7."

A small section of the Atyeo will be available for home supporters too.

See the official club website for more details.
