    We have scored 2 4 goal winning totals in the league at home this season,we did not suffer a defeat in any of our last 4 home league games last year,that is a total of 6 home league games on the trot without a defeat.Our goals record is GF16 and GA 06.

    Playing at home has proved problematic for the Robins in the recent past and City failed to win any of their opening eight games in BS3 last season.

    With the recent increases in crowd sizes,volume of noise and good results," BRISTOL City boss Derek McInnes insists his players have shed the Ashton Gate fear factor once and for all".

    Can we now call Ashton Gate a fortress and continue by beating Blackburn,I think so.....Up the City..

    Not yet - but if the atmosphere is like it was towards the end of last season it can be

    We have a large number of new players this season so I think we can disregard a lot of last season.

    That leaves two games. Two good games, but still two games. Before our demolition of Franchise FC fans on here thought we were promotion bound already and our latest loss shut that up pretty quickly. I won't speculate about our game with Blackburn because it's still too early to tell and opinions will change based on that result.

    A convincing win on Saturday will say a lot.

    a fortress has to begin with results first: so at least 7 points from the next 3 challenging games at the gate and then maybe its worth considering...................

    Secondly, fans have to flock in and do our bit so like Del says teams dont like coming to Bristol because of the warm friendly welcome they receive :afro:
