Mr X Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Just came across this old video. Any of our older posters at this match? Interesting to see as well how packed the East End was and Ashton Gate before the Dolman stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Looked like the whole ground applauded and cheered goals for both sides. Different times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatalist Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Just before my time, but I remember my Dad was certain the winner was offside. Where's VAR when you need it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it was due to lack of segregation, so Rovers and City supporters were mixed together without fighting each other. Different times indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to occasionally watch Rovers when I was at school in the early 60s because the Eastville ground was closer to where I lived. I don’t feel ashamed, as I used to follow the Rovers tradition of getting in without paying. I just followed the masses along the river and got in through a hole in the fence at the Muller Road end.
