Bristol City Kicks Off New Era with Championship Season
Bristol City will kick-off their Championship season against Millwall at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon. As the new season gets underway, Bristol Live is the place to come to follow the most comprehensive, in-depth coverage of Bristol City.
What Happened?
A summer of change at Ashton Gate has seen the Robins have their busiest transfer window in recent memory, with nine new faces already through the High Performance Centre doors and four departures confirmed. The team is set to be an interesting campaign for Michael Skubala's Robins.
Why it Matters for Bristol City
With Sam Tickle between the posts, Lisav Eissat at the heart of the Reds' defence and both Lorent Tolaj and Dom Ballard ready to lead the line, there is a real sense of anticipation amongst the City faithful that a play-off push may be possible again this term.
What Comes Next?
Through our coverage, we intend to take you on the Championship rollercoaster alongside Skubala and his players. Whether it be deadline day deals, high-profile appointments or those horribly cold February evenings up and down the country, we'll bring you all the details, all in one place.
