Hello and welcome to this evening’s live blog, where we will bring you updates from Ashton as Bristol City<\/a> and Michael Skubala continue their pre-season preparations against Premier League Newcastle United.<\/p>\n

It has been just a couple of days since the Reds were last in action, with Saturday afternoon’s trip to Swindon Town<\/a> an enjoyable one for the City faithful. Skubala’s side got their first win of pre-season as they beat Ian Holloway’s Robins 3-1 thanks to a Lorent Tolaj brace and a Jed Wallace strike.<\/p>\n

For this evening’s opponents, the weekend brought their first friendly of the summer. Newcastle, without several first-team players through both injury and international commitments<\/a>, came from behind to draw with Gateshead, avoiding what could have been an early upset.<\/p>\n

While Skubala’s side take to the field against the Magpies this evening, another City squad will face National League side Forest Green Rovers<\/a> at The New Lawn Stadium. After that, the Robins have just two more friendlies to come before the season truly gets up and running.<\/p>\n

When these two sides last met, all the way back in February 2017, the points were shared in a 2-2 draw. That day, it was Aaron Wilbraham and David Cotterill who got on the scoresheet for Lee Johnson’s side.<\/p>\n
