Underacheiving Football Clubs

For years you would have said both Sheffield clubs. I suppose when blades get relegated that will be valid once again.

Add Chelmsford City to the list.

I mean not necessarily both clubs, but certainly Sheffield as a city.

I know it's probably been mentioned, but my best mate is a Bristol City fan, and I find it absolutely insane that a city that large has never had a Premier League (92 onwards...) side, especially given there's two clubs.

 

I think someone mentioned it earlier about the south west in general, but it seems like Southampton seem to absolutely clean up on any academy talent from that region.

 

Bristol City are making advances, stadium and training ground have had massive upgrades, however under the 'Bristol Sport' umbrella it's the Rugby that is top of the agenda currently, and they share both the ground and new training ground with them.

They've ALMOST got there on many occasions in the last few years, but they seem to be regressing now and you wonder if they've missed the boat for another few seasons at least.

The training grounds are not shared.

However, the stadium is and many fans are not happy with the arrangement. I wouldn't be either, they've gone from having their own home for 100 years to being co-tenants with a rugby club. 

 

Thank God that Tigers were not moved into ours.

Not in the UK but Hertha Berlin and HSV are certainly underachieving.
