Oppos View – Bristol City

Name: Martin Jones

Current home town: Leicester           Birthplace: Bristol

How long have you supported your team? Since the mid-70's  

Overview of your club:

Favourite thing about your home ground: The Atyeo Stand behind one of the goals

Favourite match played by your team & why: Play-off semi-final victory against Palace in 2008. Could only watch it on TV, but the atmosphere was incredible, and two goals in extra time took us to Wembley.   

Favourite player of all time who played for your club: Norman Hunter – a true legend who quickly achieved cult status.

About our forthcoming match against you:

Your favourite current player in your squad and why? David James – played in the Cup Final and the World Cup last year, now the top shot-stopper in the division……

  

Player in your squad we should most fear and why? Nicky Maynard – desperate to start scoring again after finally returning to first-team action last week-end.

Player in our squad you most fear and why? Andy King – in great form at the moment. And Yakubu's goal last week was a bit special! 

Up and coming prospect in your squad? Christian Ribeiro – classy right back.

Where do you think you’ll finish this season? Around 18th, though at the moment I'll just be happy to avoid relegation.   

How do you think you’ll do against us? On current form, I don't fancy our chances. But whatever happens, it will be a special night as my son Joshua is the Bristol City mascot for the evening!
