Salute to sporting giants Huge new mural celebrates Robins’ heroes

A MISSION to fill South Bristol with huge murals that celebrate the history of Bristol City is about to unveil its biggest one yet - with two of the biggest names in street art in the city up the cherry picker with the spray cans.

Art4Fans is an independent fans group that raises funds to pay for huge murals to be created, and is already responsible for three murals on the sides of buildings near the stadium.

Now, a new and even bigger mural is taking shape, with street art legends Inkie and Jody getting involved for the first time. The new mural is so big it’s having to be done in two halves.

The mural is being created on the side of a house on Ashton Road, at the Dolman Stand entrance to Ashton Gate Stadium.

“This latest mural celebrates highlights from across the years and features eight of the football club's characters, beginning in 1909, with the appearance of Bristol City in the FA Cup Final against Manchester United,” an Art4Fans spokesperson said.
