How long have you supported your team? Over thirty years – Approaching 1100 appearances!
Overview of your club:
Favourite thing about your home ground: It’s an easy walk from the pub.
Favourite match played by your team & why: Hard to say, but will keep it relevant. Saturday 25th January 1992 – FA Cup 4th Round – Filbert St. Leicester 1 Bristol C. 2. Dziekanowski was superb on a pitch that played like an ice rink. One of only a few games to get passed the weather so was on MOTD later that evening.
Favourite player of all time who played for your club: As you can imagine this is a tricky one. I have so many to choose from. It would be easy to say Dziekanowski or Andrew Cole, but they weren’t with the club for long. So today I’m going to plump for Gerry Gow – A real hard man midfielder with no little skill. Ask me tomorrow and it will be someone different!……
About our forthcoming match against you:
Your favourite current player in your squad and why? Marvin Elliott. Box to box player who never seems to run out of energy. A brilliant signing by Gary Johnson.
Player in your squad we should most fear and why? Michael McIndoe. On his day he is almost unplayable. If he was more consistent he would be in the division above.
Player in our squad you most fear and why? Barry Hayles. Ex Gas. I need say no more.
Up and coming prospect in your squad? Christian Ribeiro
Where do you think you’ll finish this season? Top Six
How do you think you’ll do against us? With your good defence and our inability to score enough goals there is a good chance of a nil-nil. Failing that 1 goal should decide it either way.
Any other comments? Disappointingly it looks as though we will not be making the trip this year. I hope you can pull away from the wrong end of the table and, if we miss out on going up, look forward to making the trip next year. I can let you know then why Ian Holloway is not as unpopular with City fans as you may imagine – if he’s still your manager of course!
