It was Joe Jordan's second full season in charge of the club since his appointment as manager in March 1988. The club had a successful season, and ended up 2nd to gain automatic promotion to the Second Division. City had led the Third Division for some time, but talisman and top goalscorer Bob Taylor was injured for the final seven matches of the season which left the door open for fierce local rivals Bristol Rovers to beat them into 1st position. There was success in the FA Cup too, where First Division side Chelsea were beaten 3–1 at Ashton Gate in January, and local rivals Swindon Town, who were then in a higher division were also beat 2–1 at Ashton Gate. The club's leading goalscorer was Bob Taylor, with 34 goals in all competitions.
