After an ultimately disappointing tilt at the play-offs last season, will the Cider Army be able to march on, following Liam Manning's exit to return closer to home at Norwich. and finally make Bristol home to a Premier League club? It oozes potential as we tick ever closer to the Championship's 2025/26 kick-off, after the aggregate 6-0 defeat by Sheffield United, across two three-goal encounters, ensured it was the Blades who went to Wembley to take on Sunderland for a chance for either to return to the top tier.
Back on April 12th the time had come for the next in our increasingly long line of football away day pilgrimages. This time we were heading towards the midlands and had chosen The Hawthorns as the venue for our latest first-time football experience. West Bromwich Albion were hosting Watford FC, with just a point between the clubs and both of them still harbouring ambitions for the Championship play-offs. As things have turned out, this would be my fourth time watching The Hornets, home and away, in the past couple of years. Amazingly, by the standards of Gino Pozzo, Tom Cleverley has been the manager of the away side for more than a year now, although it remains to be seen if he survives the coming summer.
