Johnson proud of 'family club' status

The head coach took a strong team to The Creek, where a capacity crowd of 1,417 fans were in attendance.

City ran out 11-0 winners on the day – a record score for a community match – but the City boss was just as interested in how his players performed off the pitch.

“We are a family club and we should never, ever lose that,” Johnson told BCTV.

“Days like the Community Match prove it; the players are more than happy to mingle with the supporters, who reciprocate with words of encouragement.

“It was a great day and a lovely atmosphere - there were 1,400-plus here in the blistering heat.

“Putting the result to one side, it’s great for Bristol Manor Farm that so many fans have come down and put money in the coffers. Hopefully they can get the new floodlights they want now.”
