Bristol City League Performances

Bristol City Football Club is an English association football club based in the city of Bristol. Founded in 1894 as Bristol South End, the team first entered the FA Cup in 1895–96, and played in the Western League in 1896–97. The club then turned professional, changed its name to Bristol City, and joined the Southern League. In 1900, City merged with another Southern League club, Bedminster, and the following season gained admission to the Football League, in which the first team have played ever since. They won the Second Division title in 1905–06, and followed up with a runners-up finish in the 1906–07 First Division, three points behind champions Newcastle United. That remains the club's best Football League placing, and two years later they set another record in the 1908–09 FA Cup. City entered the competition at the first-round stage and despite needing a replay in every round apart from the third, went on to reach the final, in which they lost 1–0 to league champions Manchester United. After five seasons in the top flight, City were relegated back to the second tier. ^{[1] [2]}

Between the wars, they regularly moved between the second and third tiers, collecting two Third Division South titles in 1922–23 and 1926–27. ^[1] In the 1930s, they entered the Welsh Cup, and beat another English club, Tranmere Rovers, after a replay to win the 1934 final. ^[3] When competitive football resumed after the Second World War, City continued to yo-yo between the divisions until 1976, when they returned to the First Division for another four seasons. ^[1] Financial problems multiplied as the team suffered successive relegations, and the club was on the verge of failure when eight senior players –dubbed the Ashton Gate Eight after the name of City's stadium –agreed to cancel their lengthy contracts. Although the team were again relegated at the end of the 1981–82 season, taking them into the Fourth Division for the first time in their history as well as setting an unwanted record of three consecutive Football League relegations, the club was able to continue in business. ^[4]

City spent only two seasons in the fourth tier. In 1988–89 they made their second appearance in the semi-final of the League Cup  –the first came in 1970–71 –and they returned to the second tier in 1990. In the next 25 years, they experienced three relegations and three promotions between second and third tiers. While in the third tier, they won the Football League Trophy  –a competition for teams in the lower divisions of the Football League –three times, in 1986, 2003 and 2015, as well as reaching the final twice more. ^[1]

As of the end of the 2022–23 season, Bristol City have spent 2 seasons in the fourth tier of the English football league system, 45 in the third, 55 in the second and 9 in the top tier. The table details the team's achievements and the top goalscorer in senior first-team competitions from their first season in the FA Cup in 1895–96 to the end of the most recently completed season.

Notes

1. This United League was established in 1896, to be played as a supplementary competition to fill vacant dates in the season without the trouble and expense of arranging friendly matches. Its inaugural season involved eight teams from an area stretching from London to Leicestershire. ^[5] Bristol City finished fifth in the 11-team league in the 1898–99 season, ^[6] but the directors reported that "some of the United League matches failed to prove sufficiently attractive to make them a success financially", ^[7] so they did not participate again. ^[1]
2. Beginning with the 1925–26 season, the FA Cup was structured so that the third round proper contained 64 teams. Prior to that date, the structure had varied, so rounds are not directly comparable to the round of the same name after 1925. For example, in 1895–96, when Bristol South End first entered the competition, there were only three rounds proper before the semifinal, as compared with the current six. ^[10]
3. Divisions are sorted according to their level within the English football league system at the time.
4. In seasons when the club played in more than one league, the column is sorted on the Southern League position.
5. Runners-up in the First Division straight after promotion as Second Division champions. Remains their highest league finish. ^[1]
6. After needing a replay in every round but the third, Bristol City reached the 1909 FA Cup Final, in which they lost 1–0 to Manchester United. ^[1]
7. Lost 6–2 on aggregate to Reading. ^[12]
8. The 1939–40 Football League season was abandoned with three matches played when the Second World War began. ^[1]
9. Dick Armstrong, Clarrie Bourton, Frank Curran, Frank Gallacher and John Turner each scored once before the 1939–40 season was abandoned.
10. Although the Football League did not resume until the 1946–47 season, the FA Cup was contested in 1945–46. From the first round proper to the sixth round (quarter-final), results were determined on aggregate score over two legs. ^{[10] [1]}
11. The Football League Cup competition started in the 1960–61 season. ^[17]
12. Beat St Mirren 3–2 on aggregate in the final. ^[1]
13. The 1981–82 season saw the introduction of three points for a win instead of two. ^[17]
14. Beat Bolton Wanderers 3–0 to win the Associate Members' Cup for the first time. ^[1]
15. Lost to Mansfield Town on penalties in the final. ^[18]
16. After beating Sheffield United 2–1 on aggregate in the play-off semi-final, ^[1] Bristol City drew 3–3 on aggregate with Walsall in the final, which meant a replay was required. The teams held a penalty shoot-out to decide which club would host the match; Bristol City lost the shoot-out and went on to lose the replay 4–0. ^[19]
17. The newly formed FA Premier League split from the Football League, and the remaining divisions of the Football League were renumbered upwards. ^[17]
18. Lost 4–2 on aggregate to Brentford in the play-off semi-final. ^[20]
19. Lost 2–1 to Stoke City in the final. ^[21]
20. Lost 1–0 on aggregate to Cardiff City in the play-off semi-final. ^[22]

22. After beating Hartlepool United 3–2 on aggregate in the play-off semi-final, ^[24] lost 1–0 to Brighton & Hove Albion in the final. ^[25]
23. From the 2004–05 season, the Football League divisions were rebranded: Division One was renamed the Football League Championship, and Divisions Two and Three became Football League One and Football League Two respectively. ^[26]
24. Lost 1–0 on aggregate to city rivals Bristol Rovers in the southern area final. ^[27]
25. After beating Crystal Palace 4–2 on aggregate in the play-off semi-final, ^[28] lost 1–0 to Hull City in the final. ^[29]
26. Beat Walsall 2–0 in the final to become the first team to win the trophy for a third time. ^[30]
