User:Clarkofbristol/FA Club 16

The FA Club 16 is a society, in order to be a member, the individual must be invited. The society was jointly formed by supporters of Bristol City FC and Bristol Rovers FC, traditional arch rivals, to celebrate the annual English FA Cup Final. In order to retain membership, each member must attend the annual FA Cup Final event and observe the Club's strict code of conduct.

The Club is unique in that opposing football supporters from fierce derby rivals have united to celebrate a domestic footballing event.

The logo of the Society takes its form that there are 16 teams in the quarter finals, which is connected to the event day; and that ‘core’ membership is capped to 16. The Club was founded in 2001, by Dale Roberts and excluding the founding year, has been held at the Memorial Stadium, Bristol. Home of Bristol Rugby and Bristol Rovers FC.
