I think it was the same occasion, at AG the day before and the word went round about this cup game and about 200 City showed up, as usual Rovers missed the party and all that was there was the Essex team and a few subs etc, there might of been a few slaps on the side but that was about it, the game got abandoned because of the over-zealousness of the IoC players which resulted in the Essex players and ref being chased off the pitch, OB turned up because they didn't want 200 City fans wandering around Gas heartland on a Sunday lunch-time, all had a good chuckle about it after in the clipper.

The Clipper used to be a good early game meet up for many. Remember the Rovers game at AG when a certain Gas pub up by the Evening Post building had a visit by a few City prematch. Forget the name of the pub but it was opposite the old Veals fishing shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was always a bit of a battle between City & Rovers over that side of town. Lumber touches on this in the book in places. Became a bit of a battle ground at times. I started drinking in the Maypole in 1991. There was definitely plenty of City in there, but was probably slightly more gas. Jolly Sailor up the road tended to have more gas though. Dave Martin & Gerry Harrison showed up in the maypole one time. Martin regaled us of his time at Millwall where he’d become friendly with a few of their lads!!

Blimey, I thought it was a bit earlier than that. I remember it well. No warning, they suddenly showed up, we were definitely outnumbered but a few good men managed to prevent them even getting through the door.
