Admin phantom Posted March 27, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 I feel we missed an opportunity here. When Mansfield borrowed Rovers' kit the day they went down, imagine if Mansfield had been playing in Citys kit that day!

archie andrews Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 We're at home and there's a clash of kits..... Surely it's the away side that wears something different...... Plus I thought rovers only wore quarters from 73ish onwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Milsom used to live around the corner from me and we used to be in the same school team (Courtney Primary), that's not him at B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman Mao Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Now I am about to enrage a lot of people here. But I quite like the blue and white quarters, it's certainly different! Shame the team playing in it normally performs to a similar standard as the Gambia u12s B Team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatchers Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 The gas only stole the ideal of da famous quarters from other teams because, in the words of a director of theirs' they wanted to be noticed'. Everton wore the blue and white quarters in 1884-86 .Shrewsbury 1907-08. Many other teams including Wolves , Newcastle and of course the team they actually copied Wycombe, also had the quarters before they decided to punch the ideal. Around 1938 / 40 I believe the gash even wore Red and White quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Whenever City play in blue we lose. We also played in blue at Leyton Orient in 1982, using Orient's away kit as we'd forgot to bring ours. After an early thunderbolt from Alan Hay put us 1-0 up we fell apart and got a 4-1 hammering.

I always remember the beer hut at the back of the away terrace too - I reckon that was one of the last times you could actually buy a pint on the terraces.

Could be, but I remember buying beer on the terraces at Preston when they had their plastic pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
