👏If the 8,000 travelling Bristol City fans are anything to go by, the home crowd could make all the difference in the second leg
Just like they did against #mufc!

✍️Bristol City have appointed Michael Skubala as their new manager, on a three-year contract.
The 43-year-old guided Lincoln City to promotion as League One champions with 31 wins and 103 points last season. #bcfc#bristolcity
🚨 Bristol City confirm Michael Skubala has joined from Lincoln City.
Lincoln had initially been optimistic on keeping Skubala, but talks advanced with Bristol City over the past few days after Tommy Elphick turned down the role.
Lincoln tried to offer Skubala a new contract but couldn’t compete with Bristol City’s offer.
Lincoln are set to receive in excess of £1m in compensation.
🗣️ Lincoln CEO Liam Scully: “Michael has made a significant impact during his time at Lincoln City and leaves with our sincere thanks and best wishes.
“From the moment he arrived, he embraced everything about this football club and represented the club with real integrity and professionalism.
“We are proud that Lincoln City continues to be recognised as a stable place where talented people develop and Michael leaves with the gratitude and respect of everyone connected with the club.”
@BCFC_Supporters What would you rather..
At 38, Assistant of a PremierLeague club on the up, Playing in UEL, learn under Marco Rose etc
Or first managerial role at a Championship club with a difficult summer ahead re building a squad and possibly be sacked by Christmas.
Why the fan head loss?!
Very pleased with this likely appointment. Happy to chance on a first-time manager based on the learnings he would have had from Iraola and the whole Bournemouth set up. Hopefully Lansdown, Boss & Ellis give him the best chance to succeed ahead of a tricky summer transfer window.
Tommy Elphick is close to being named as the new head coach of #BristolCity. Was in the final 2 with Lincoln’s Michael Skubala and official confirmation expected soon. Say this every time but one of the best jobs in the Champ with the facilities and potential etc #afcb
Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks...
HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless.
Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it
So where's the wall-to-wall coverage?
Tell me this isn't a rigged game.
