Bristol City FC ‏@bcfctweets 28m SO'D: "Same city derby matches are always special. I hope there will be a big crowd, but also trouble-free." Bristol City FC ‏@bcfctweets 27m SO'D: "I'm not sure many of the players involved will have competed in this derby before; it doesn't happen often." Bristol City FC ‏@bcfctweets 25m SO'D: "It's a great game for us with no game on Saturday. It's a big game." Bristol City FC ‏@bcfctweets 30m SO'D: "Rules of the competition say you can't make vast changes. We could utilise Marlon Harewood and Elliot Parish."

Rovers will want this game a lot more than City will, which is a shame because the fans have wanted this game more than either team. The rivalry kinda kills things for me, because I'd love to see a capacity crowd on both ends, showing the country how much sport means to the people of Bristol. It's also a notably violent fixture, so I imagine a lot of people will steer clear for that reason. I reckon City will edge it, but only just.
"gasheads" you are cordially invited to take part in our poll, there is genuine voting points for you on an equal parity with Bristol City votes..
Not voting because its going to be 26 0 with a Frank Fielding triple hatrick, you heard it here first
Many thanks Wiz I'm getting the butterflies already I'll be a nervous wreck by Weds evening, might have to pop a pill or two to chill out or maybe a smoke.
