Bristol City will welcome their largest opening home crowd in 44 years when Sunderland visit Ashton Gate in tomorrow's highly-anticipated fixture.
The Robins have sold their full ticket allocation for the contest, around 23,000 in total, with the atmosphere set to be raucous in BS3 as supporters take advantage of the discounted ticket prices on offer.
As is the same with all opening home matches of the campaign, there will be a sense of excitement and optimism around Ashton Gate despite Nigel Pearson's side being on the receiving end of a controversial 2-1 defeat against Hull last weekend.
