20Questions - Bristol City FC
Last updated : 07 December 2006 By Bigrich.....
Hello there, Who are yer and how long have you supported City
Marie, and ive supported City since the mid nineties (would have been earlier but my family thought I was nuts being a girl who liked football)
What made you support your club?
Well when I was growing up I always liked Football and decided I had more chance of watching a local team play rather than one of the bigger clubs. Rovers are pants so it was an easy decision really
Whats your favorite away day and why?
Yeovil are always friendly, Forest was good this season (even though we lost) because the atmosphere was excellent
Whats your proudest moment being a City Fan?
Bit of a plug here but I would have to say it would either be the Supporters Trust, (of which I am a board member) launch night, OR when we got in the play offs in 2004, the roof nearly came off Ashton Gate that night, that kind of atmosphere hasnt been repeated since though sadly
And your most embarassing / disappointing?
When we lost in the play off final. I pray one day we'll make it though.
Apart from Rovers, who are your main rivals?
Swindon, Yeovil I wouldnt really consider a rival because the games are generally played in good spirit. This season however I would say Forest are another major rival.
Given the size of Bristol, would you expect bigger crowds?
Yes I really get cross when I see kids in Man U, Arsenal or Chelsea shirts walking around Bristol when they have a local team they could go and support and have much more chance of watching as well.
If Bristol City was a Song, what would it be, and why?
Pray by Take That, because with the seasons we have sometimes you just gotta put your head down and pray.
Whos your all time favorite player, and why??
The legend that was and is Brian Tinnion
Is Marcus Stewart staying or going??
Going and the sooner the better, not because I don't like the bloke, but just because the situation has dragged on far too long and its getting a bit stupid now
Are you suprised with the good start you've had?
Pleasantly surprised, I say every year that its our year, and cross all my fingers and toes (yes I only have 10 of each, its the Gas who are inbreds!) I'm hoping however that this year might just be our turn.
Have your expecations for the season altered with the good start?
See above, I'm always hopeful that we will have a good season, and am optimistic this year (again)
Do you still have players doing bird? Are they still employed by the club??
No the three of them all got out months ago, Brooker and Orr were only in for a couple of weeks, and have been back playing since. Partridge is looking like he will be sold and we havent really missed him to be honest.
One player from this division you would like in your team, and why?
Marcus Stewart???? (tee hee)
Worried about losing any players come the January sales?
I think we're ok in Jan, am hoping certain players will sign new contracts soon, Scott Brown being one of them. I hope we can keep hold of Jamie McCombe too, as he has been incredible for us this season and an excellent buy.

Who's your strongest / Weakest link?
Enoch Showumni has come on leaps and bound since he joined us, and I really enjoy watching him. Bradley Orr is another fans favourite.
Weakest, if I had to pick I would say Jennison Myrie Williams needs to listen to what the older more experienced players tell him, and his first touch isnt always up to scratch, but hes young, so I guess he'll learn. Still wouldnt sell him though
Predicted Line-up?
Basso, Carey, McCombe, Keogh, Orr, Skuse, Russell, Brown, Myrie-Williams, Showumni, Jevons.
Predicted Score?
2 - 1 to us
Whos going up??
We are. Good luck to you lot though, youve done well considering the start you had.
And finally. Steak & Kidney, Meat & Tatty or Balti??
I'm a laydee don't you know! Chicken Pasty please or a bar of choccie.
Plus if youve ever eaten the food at Ashton Gate, you'd know why most of us don't eat it.
