22A Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Early 1960's; City were in Div 3 and playing in the FA Cup, Rovers home at Eastville in Div 2(yes all you young uns, Rovers were in a higher division than City) and up at the Mem, Western Counties were taking on the All Blacks. All three games kicked off at 3.00pm, the Police and bus service both coped perfectly well. My Dad always reminded me the highest attendance that day was at Ashton Gate.

If that was 63, I was at the Memorial Ground. All Blacks won something like 53-0, with the great Don Clark at Full Back. As a junior school kid I remember being fascinated by the names of the two Maori players, Waka Nathan and Mack Herewini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weepywall Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Didn't we both play at home on the day we beat Walsall 8-2 and they were at home to Forest Green in the non league play offs or am I mistaken ? Does seem a bit unlikely to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello Dave Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 We had 3 lots of fans at the same game, when Rovers borrowed the City ground for a game against Swindon in the 80s!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
