Gary Johnson has been the team's manager since 23 September 2005, succeeding Brian Tinnion.
The Bristol City kit this season has been produced by sports brand 'Puma'. Home colours for 2006-7 will revert from all red to the traditional red shirts and white shorts. The away kit will be white with gunmetal grey shorts, and a black third kit will also be used. In the past a variety of away combinations have been used, particularly white shirts and black shorts, but yellow, green-and-purple, all black, all white and \"champagne gold\" have also been seen in recent years. The club's nickname is \"the Robins\", and a robin featured on the club's badge from 1976 to 1994.A recent attempt by the club to alter the clubs badge was abandoned after the club was slated fiercely by fans and many supporters still choose to sport the clubs old Robin and suspension bridge badge.
Bristol City reached the 1909 F.A Cup final where they lost to Manchester United, but they did win the Welsh Cup - despite being an English team - in 1934. In 1907 they finished runners-up in the league, which is their highest-ever final position.
In 1982, Bristol City became the first English team to suffer three successive relegations and just before falling into the Fourth Division they almost went out of business. But a takeover deal saved them from going under, and by 1990 they were back in the Second Division. Another relegation followed in 1995, when City finished second from bottom in the new Division Two, and a return to that division three years later lasted just one season. Most of their seasons since 1999 have been spent challenging promotion, but so far all of their promotion challenges have been unsuccessful. - - Bristol City currently play at Ashton Gate stadium, which has an all-seater capacity of more than 20,000. There have been plans, if the need arises, for expansion work to be carried out at their current ground. There have also been proposals to build a new stadium, the first option being a 36,000-seat stadium at Hengrove Park. In 2002, the local council was looking at possible sites for a new 40,000-seat stadium which would house both City and Rovers, but these plans were scrapped and would not have been welcomed by many of either of the two clubs' supporters. Ashton Gate's current capacity is fairly big, and it would probably take promotion to demand an expansion.
Honours
The team played in the FA Cup final, losing 1 - 0 to Manchester United at Crystal Palace, London, on April 26, 1909, and won the Welsh Cup in 1934, defeating Tranmere Rovers 3 - 0.
Their highest finishing position in the League was in the 1906-07 season when the team were runners-up to Newcastle in Division 1.
