CITY SOCIAL: Fans hope Swindon smashing can kickstart season

Supporters were left deflated on Tuesday night when newly promoted Hartlepool grabbed a 3-1 victory at Valley Parade.

The Bantams showed their fighting spirit by putting that result behind them and returning from their travels with the same scoreline, but this time it was in their favour.

Here are a few views from City fans on social media reacting to that glorious 3-1 win:

Great result yesterday #bcafc, & much needed after the last two games, particularly bearing in mind how we played against Hartlepool. I thought we had no chance of winning. Couldn't be happier to be proved wrong, & just as well I'm not into betting, or managing! 😃

I think today, Theo Robinson with THAT goal might have eclipsed Steve Claridge’s cameo at Swindon from the bench 16 years ago #BCAFC

415 mile trip and back home with the 3 points 💛. What a team performance that was 👏. Adams tactically got it spot on today with the shift to the back 3 and the big call to drop CV #BCAFC #AwayDays pic.twitter.com/AqMGu6VGhR

Pleasure to watch today, compact and organised, pressed at right time and broke with speed and purpose, players brave on ball too, a very accomplished away performance. A wonder goal too from @theorobinson09 #bcafc pic.twitter.com/vg4OrZxZvQ

What a performance! A completely different City side in terms of attitude from Tuesday. We deserved the 3pts. We pressed and won 2nd balls all day and every single player looked up for it. Bravo Bantams, enjoy your weekends. #bcafc pic.twitter.com/70Zmlv7LQ7
