A once in a century extra ordinary pandemic situation might, just MIGHT lead to them achieving their own once in a century, extra ordinary situation of having a sell out..!

Rich Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) This is what they do! Taken from facebook. Dom White The best piece of Bristol Policing I ever witnessed: Rovers came back home. First match at the Mem was sold out but in those days you could watch half the match from outside the ground. All of us Dads were outside the ground watching the game but half way through the second half all of our children started getting fractious and bored and wanted to go home. They were all moaning and mithering so a woman Police officer rounded up the children and locked them in the prison van so we could watch the match in peace, cos as we all know, Rovers fans are very well behaved. I asked a Policeman if he was expecting trouble, he replied, not from you lot, it's the other lot we have trouble with!!! · 2h Rich replied 31 August 1996 Stockport County H 1–1 Attendance 6,380.

I can't remember if it was sold out or not (granted it absolutely should have been) but I would imagine that wasn't far off capacity when we returned (although I stand to be corrected) The ground would have been 3 (possibly even 2) sided then.

I'm pretty sure that Wiki is way out on this occasion. The capacity is still short of that figure for football and considering there were only 2 or 3sides of the ground open for that first game, there was absolutely no way capacity was over 12k that day. We didn't even have any tents back then! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
