weeble Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Never seen that before. Nice to watch, apart from the result. Rovers’ keeper Dick Sheppard was never the same after his fractured skull. That was the last league game he ever played. Died at only 53 years of age.

I wasn’t born until 1981, but I wish I could of seen a derby at Eastville, my late father went to them from the 50’s onwards and said they were epic. I've got that DVD, the one disappointing thing is they don't show the crowd enough. That open end was brilliant, I think it held over 6,000 and was always rammed when I went in there.

Same here. Stood, with my dad and uncle (one red, one blue) in the little enclosure of the stand that was later burnt down. Not a hint of trouble at all but I was only 7 and dad seemed fine in there. I suppose you could do that freely in those days but couldn't not many years after. I'm sure I remember us giving them an absolute gubbing at Eastville a few years later? Maybe the Gloucester cup? I reckon would have been at secondary school so 1978 onwards? Edited December 28, 2020 by Ska Junkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was around in the 60's Slarti but can't remember it for obvious reasons. I must have dreamt a night match at Eastville where we did them 6-1 or something. It's so vivid I remember being in the petrol station at the top of Eastville park where it meets Fishponds Rd. The imagination of a young 'un (now getting on a bit 'un) I guess.
