Bristol City Women's Head Coach Lauren Smith has praised Nigel Pearson and the club for their support in helping develop her side and driving them to success.
Smith's high fliers go up against table-toppers Liverpool at Ashton Gate on Sunday in a first versus second clash in front of a record WSL 2 attendance.
Over 4,100 tickets have been sold for the match, smashing their previous best of 3,053 against Blackburn in November and also setting a league record for an FA Championship fixture.
