Not sure about in Bristol itself.
Maybe manor farm or brislington.
Keynsham or bath city or wsm or Clevedon town more likely.
Although the norton radstock area could support a team.
If rovers moved to the fruit market then filton or bradley stoke area could have a team.

Anybody else remember the days when some local clubs drew respectable crowds, Bristol St George were quite famous ( in Bristol anyway!)and had big crowds for amateur cup ties in my youth, Mangotsfield evolved from village team and rose through the leagues untill stalling, Cadbury Heath were another to rise quickly, I even remember big crowds turning out on Boxing day for local derbies like Pucklechurch v Hambrook , 2 or 3 deep on touchline with the local character amusing every one with his comments aimed at the Ref! Happy days!

If Cheltenham Town can support a league team then so can Gloucester City. |

I think Yeovil town draw a fair bit of support from the taunton area being just up the road. As a town though it could just manage a FGR size support. Merthyr and Aberdare both had league teams in the past . |

More teams might be a good thing. When I first moved to Sutton there were only a few pubs in Town. They Were against new establishments, as they were concerned about losing trade.
Over the course of a couple of years all the usual franchise pubs and more moved in. This attracted more drinkers to the Area and it became Party Central.
All the Pubs filled up and business was booming.
The down side was that the High Street was awash with pi$$ & vomit, well until I moved Overseas it was.
