How long have you supported Birmingham?
TOO LONG TO REMEMBER!!
What is your earliest memory of the club?
GOING TO THE LOCAL DERBIES AGAINST ASTON VILLA HAVING HAD TO QUEUE ALL NIGHT TO GET A TICKET FOR THE GAMES.
What is the proudest moment you have witnessed since being a City fan?
PROMOTION TO THE OLD DIVISION ONE (NOW THE PREMIER LEAGUE) WITH A WIN AT LEYTON ORIENT BACK IN 1972.
How did the club perform in 2007/08?
NOT VERY WELL! WE GOT RELEGATED AND ALSO CHANGED MANAGER.
Did Brum made many additions or sufferer many departures in the summer?
LOTS OF DEPARTURES, MAINLY TO WIGAN, ONLY A FEW SIGNINGS IN MARCUS BENT, KEVIN PHILLIPS AND LEE CARSLEY PLUS A COUPLE OF LOAN SIGNINGS.
Any movement before the transfer window closed?
NONE WHATSOEVER - DISTURBING TO SAY THE LEAST.
How have the team shaped up so far this season?
WE'RE NOT PLAYING THAT WELL YET REMAIN UNBEATEN AND ARE JOINT TOP OF THE LEAGUE SO CAN'T REALLY COMPLAIN.
Who is your best player?
JAMES McFADDEN.
Who might Bristol City be able to expose?
DIFFICULT QUESTION THAT AS OUR BACK FOUR HAVE BEEN SOLID. IF QUINCY PLAYS WIDE LEFT THEN HE IS NOT THE BEST AT TRACKING BACK SO MAYBE SOMETHING THERE FOR YOU TO EXPOSE.
How do you rate your manager?
I THINK HE'S DOING OK SO FAR BUT NOTHING LESS THAN AUTOMATIC PROMOTION IS REQUIRED THIS SEASON SO THE JURY IS STILL OUT.
How do you assess your chances this campaign?
VERY GOOD BUT AS WE ALL KNOW IT'S A TOUGH LEAGUE TO GET OUT.
How do you think Bristol City will do this year?
I WOULD IMAGINE YOU TO BE UP AMONGST THE TOP SIX THROUGHOUT THE SEASON AND IN A PLAY OFF PLACE COME THE SEASON'S END.
Which Bristol City player do you think will be the dangerman for Birmingham?
DELE ADEBOLA ON HIS DAY CAN BE A MATCHWINNER AND WILL SURELY BE FIRED UP FOR THIS GAME AGAINST HIS FORMER CLUB.
If you the Blues were a TV programme, which one would they be?
BARGAIN HUNT!
Sum the club up in three words...
NEVER WON NOWT!
Give us your prediction for the game...
2-0 TO BLUES
As far as the season goes generally...
Who will win the league?
US.
Who else will get promoted?
SHEFFIELD UNITED AND WOLVES
Who will be relegated?
DERBY, PLYMOUTH, BURNLEY.
DERBY,
Regards,
Brian.
