    Ahh no, apparently they weren’t abandoning their principles...it was because all the under 21 teams had been eliminated. Therefore using Gaslogic the competition was now fine and they could get busy searching Amazon for blue and white jesters hats, blue Afros and w@nky Pirates costumes just in case.....

     

    You have to admire their principles extending the boycot to the league games has to be admired thats true dedication

    I was at that match. Fa cup replay about 1966 ish. 0-0 draw at Ashton gate. Replay at Easrville the following Tuesday.  40,000 at Ashton, 35000 at Eastville 3 days later. Taylor scored for rovers in the 1st half then Crowe and Macamoyle ( crap spelling) scored for City we won 1-2.  decent player was Stuart Taylor, a proper Rovers player in the days of players staying with a club for many years. Rest easy big man.  

    This was my first ever city match it was my birthday and dad gave me a choice gold finger at the gaumont cinema lawrence hill or a city match i chose city match  stood on a wooden beer crate at front of east end with the deafing chant of hughie hughie hughie mcilmoyle ringing in my ears i was totaly hooked thank you dad ive got nearly 50 years of incerdible city memories and have met so many fantasic city lads over the years i hope and pray iam still around to see the ulimate dream coyr

    R I P Stuart Taylor... (lived not too far away when I was a kid) a time when footballers were still local blokes living just slightly better off than normal working class people) Stuart at the time lived just off Banjo Island on the Park Estate Council estate, just like the rest of us.

    I was always a Red but as a kid slightly miffed that Stuart Taylor was blue and therefore 'one of them'. 

    Sad News.

     Iam also from park estate and remeber big stu sad news
