Super Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Haven't they the worst away record in the country? They will certainly have to improve on that to make the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Stupid name , every time they played someone who traveled well (us, stoke, villa chelsea, millwall, arsenal to name but a few) he should have called himself "Cowering, huddled round the side under that bus stop thingy Tony" !

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Looked like they had a decent turn out at the Cobblers for a bottom of the basement game to be fair. Rovers fans never tire of telling me that they travel in large numbers and we don't (they took 3000 to Birmingham by the way...) so I assume that they took more than the 1200 we took to Sixfields earlier in the season for a Sunday game.

swampy Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Anyone remember when Nuneaton took the East End?? Think it was an FA Cup 5th replay on a neutral ground. Borough packed the shed and the rest of the ground was near empty ... happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 As a lad I was in the Tote end when it was taken by Chelsea. The rovers ran away, on to the pitch and away from the center of their own End. if this is the game i'm thinking of , me and a few mates were in the open end with the Chelsea lot. As young lads we used to go to Eastville and support the away team , it was fine in the ground when they found out we were City , hairy walk home though, carnage.

We used to do the same, go with the away fans when they had a mob. Remember being on the Muller Road end with Chelsea, Tottenham, West Ham, Wolves, Forest, Sheff Utd, Millwall etc.Think the chelsea game was a night match, remember getting to the top of the steps and seeing Chelsea running riot on the Tote.

It was bedlam! I was with West Ham with my West 'ammmm loving friend in the Eastville Open End in 1980 . The following week West Ham beat Arsenal at Wembley to win the FA Cup. West Ham had a great side then including Phil Parkes, Trevor Brooking and Frank Lampard (Senior). There were Gas on the M32 throwing rubble down at us and the fencing to the pitch was lined with Special Patrol Group Police - many with dark glasses and attack dogs. Happy Days.

Mr Mosquito Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 It's nice to reminisce. The 2 videos below of Eastville and Stamford Bridge were taken in 1979. Apart from Chelsea's fantastic 3 tier East Stand, Eastville and Stamford Bridge seemed very similar to me at that time....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Aldhelms Red Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 definetly a Saturday game fella remember going with family who are cfc and we was away to man utd lost 4 0 Think they were on there 2 years running. One was a night game(Rovers won 2 1), the year after Rovers won 3 0. It kicked off all along Stapleton road and was on the front pages of the Evening Post, along with both local news stations. I used to go to Chelsea quite a lot then (when City were away) and remember it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 The first one was a night game, I was there, I wouldn't have been if City were playing.

The February 1980 Gas v Chelsea game definately had to be on a Saturday afternoon as per the early part of this YouTube video..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp64Ij60Eio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mosquito Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 The one I was on about was 5th Oct 76 a Tuesday night. ........I was only 11 years old then. I do remember Chelsea Yo Yo-ing from the mid 70s to late 80s between the first and second divisions. I do know they finished bottom of Div 1 in 1979 - by some way - and we got our highest placed top flight finish since 1910 that season -13th? Did you know that Chelsea have never ever played outside the top two divisions of English football - the only club with that pedigree as well. That's why Chelsea have rarely played the Gas in the league and why we've not played them in the league since 1981. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
