Trust Fund have just released their tremendously titled new single “Football”, taken from forthcoming new album Seems Unfair, so we caught up with band ringleader Ellis Jones for a natter about his beloved Bristol City…

How did you come to support the Robins?

I just got taken along by my dad, and never looked back. It felt like a slightly different thing to support my local team as a kid, whereas all my friends were Man United or Liverpool fans.

Being able to go to games rather than watching on TV made me feel a bit superior I think, like I was getting the authentic experience.

What are your expectations for the season? What are your thoughts on the season so far?

I think we’ll avoid relegation comfortably enough. If it looks like the play-offs are a possibility then I expect a sharp downturn in form.

Do you think Steve Cotterill is doing a good job?

He’s done a great job to get us promoted, and having had a reputation for route one football, what we’ve actually been playing has been surprisingly slick – or it was last season, at least.

Which areas of the team/squad would you like to see strengthened?

Probably the midfield. Wade Elliott retired last season having been a key part of our promotion campaign, and we’ve lot a bit of leadership and determination as a result.

Have you managed to get to the ground much to watch them over the years?

I was a season ticket holder for most of my childhood, but living in different cities in the past years has meant that seeing City play has become an occasional frustration, rather than a weekly one.

Finally, if you had to select a 5-a-side team out of all the players you’ve seen play for your team in your time as a fan, who would you pick?

Adriano Basso (GK), Shaun Taylor (Defence), Brian Tinnion (Midfield), Scott Murray (Midfield), Jason Roberts (striker)
