You can argue all you like but Filton and beyond is not in Bristol now and never has been during my lifetime. During my sporting days when I represented Northavon we played against Bristol in county games. I can walk from Little Stoke and Patchway to Bristol in a straight line without hitting countryside and neither of those areas are in Bristol either. Wasn't Bristol originally made a City and County In 1373? Any way, I'm pleased that you are a proud Bristolian. ๐ Filton is a Town in South Gloucestershire north of the City of Bristol, about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) from the city centre. Filton lies in Royal Mails postcode areas of BS7 and BS34. The town centres upon Filton Church, which dates back to the 12th century and is a grade II listed building.[2][3][4] Further north are the towns of Patchway and Bradley Stoke. The name of the town comes from the Old English feleรพe (hay), and tลซn (farm, field). The name dates back to at least 1187. Filton has large areas of open space, which includes several playing fields, a golf course, plus a large private airfield (closed runway, see Filton Airfield) Sporting boundaries are again based on fairly made up administrative borders. Ther's no Bristol County FA, for instance, with Bristol being divided between Gloucestershire and Somerset FAs. That doesn't mean that Bristol doesn't exist!
The date that i refer to is the last date that the boundaries were defined, when Bristol City and Council was enlarged for administrative purposes to include St Phillips/St George, St Pauls, Clifton etc.
If we're quoting from Wikipedia...
Bristol's boundaries are defined in several ways, depending on whether they are those of the city, the developed area, or Greater Bristol. The narrowest definition of the city is the city council boundary, which includes a large section of the western Severn Estuary up to (but not including) the islands of Steep Holm and Flat Holm.[93]
A slightly broader definition used by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) includes developed areas adjoining Bristol but outside the city-council boundary, such as Whitchurch village, Filton, Patchway and Bradley Stoke, but excludes undeveloped areas within that boundary.[94] The ONS has defined a Bristol Urban Area, which includes Kingswood, Mangotsfield, Stoke Gifford, Winterbourne, Frampton Cotterell, Almondsbury and Easton in Gordano.[95] The North Fringe of Bristol, a developed area in South Gloucestershire between the Bristol city boundary and the M4 and M5 motorways, was so named as part of a 1987 plan prepared by the Northavon District Council.[96]
Whitchurch Village; that always brings a smile to my face when I think about the snobbery involved in that sign post.

Well I was born in Filton which at the time was in the borough of Chipping Sodbury within the county of Gloucestershire so it would be wrong to call myself Bristolian. Thats like saying somebody from Brentford was a Cockney. There was a sign on Southmead rd opposite the Bawa club marking the Bristol boundry,used to drink in the Anchor because they had a 11pm time shout compared to our pubs 10.30pm back in the day. When Woodsy ran the anchor time was never called

When Woodsy ran the anchor time was never called It was never called even before then. All day drinking is what put the nail in the coffin of the Anchor. Woodsy is usually outside the Plough by 4pm most days, give him a wave. ๐

Avonmouth is in Wales because there is no countryside in between according to new Gasheads.org guidelines. ๐ There's a river, silly. I said physical boundary or border.
Brings up a good point though. According to the City & Council boundaries, Rovers could build a stadium on flat holm (probably at least partly on stilts), roughly equidistant between Barry and Weston Super Mare and 23 miles from the centre of Bristol, and that would be in the City & County of Bristol. But build one at UWE, 3.5 miles from the centre and clearly within the same built up area, and its not.
How does that make any sense in the real world?

We'd have to get permission from Cardiff Council if we wanted to build anything on Flat Holm. We might have better luck with Steepholm, as that's in the parish of Weston Super Mare.
