Watching your football team away from home at any time is an expensive business, but in the current climate with fuel prices and the cost of living as it is, it’s even more of a strain. For Bristol City fans it has been three long trips north to Wigan, Blackpool, and Blackburn, all within a space of a few weeks and huge credit goes to all of those that have made those journeys.
It isn’t easy and the support at each game has been superb, out-singing the home fans at each of the three matches. The side has also been roared on from those that haven’t been able to travel. Brilliant support.
What we are witnessing at the moment is some of the most exciting, attacking football that I have seen in many a year from Bristol City, and that sense of excitement is palpable amongst the fans. One of my mates in the WhatsApp group that we have for all things City, is not convinced by Nigel Pearson.
