The 1920s were a rocky time as City bounced between the Second Division and the Southern Section of the Third Division. The season after City were relegated, they achieved promotion back to the Second Division, before being relegated back to the Southern Section of the Third Division again the following season. After successive high finishes in the league, they were promoted again in 1926–27. However, by the 1930s they had slumped into the lower division and stayed that way until over 10 years after the Second World War. During this stay in the Third Division South, they won the [[Welsh Cup]] in 1934, beating Tranmere Rovers in the final. However, in the same year they also suffered their biggest ever league defeat, a 9–0 loss to [[Coventry City F.C.|Coventry City]] The 1937–38 season was the most successful season for City since they were relegated to the Third Division, coming second in the league and reaching the final of the [[Football League Third Division South Cup|Third Division South Cup]], before losing 6–2 to Reading on aggregate.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bcfc.co.uk/fanzone/club-history/potted-history/|title=Club Legends|website=Bristol City|access-date=6 February 2018|archive-date=7 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180207010658/https://www.bcfc.co.uk/fanzone/club-history/potted-history/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://fchd.info/cups/div3scupsummary.htm|title=Football Club History Database – Football League Division Three South Cup Summary|website=fchd.info}}</ref> They then came eighth in the Third Division South in the final full season before the war, in which the Grandstand of Ashton Gate was destroyed by a German air raid.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2010/nov/10/blitz-football-grounds-bomb-damage|title=Memories of the Blitz bombers and a damaging time for sport|first=Frank|last=Keating|date=10 November 2010|website=The Guardian}}</ref>

In 1946–47, City recorded a record league win by beating [[Aldershot F.C.|Aldershot]] 9–0, although despite [[Don Clark (footballer)|Don Clark]] scoring 36 goals in the League, City failed to get promoted that season. [[Harry Dolman]] became chairman in 1949, a post he would hold for over 30 years. An engineer who had bought out the firm he worked for, he designed the first set of floodlights installed at Ashton Gate in the early 1950s. The late 1950s were a better time for City, with a five-year stay in the Second Division, a league they returned to for a further spell in 1965.
