Bristol City play host to Hartlepool United at Ashton Gate on Saturday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Robins have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.
The last time the two teams met at Bristol City was well over fifteen years ago, back in September 1983, with Bristol City running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Fourth Division match.
