Late 60's, early 70's might have been before your time but I was in the middle of the Tote with hundreds of City. Think I recall a 5-0 evening a Glos. Cup Match where the entire centre of the Tote End celebrated by invading the tulip beds behind the goal. Can't recall the year but segregation was introduced in the 70's and that year only a few City, including me, went in the Tote just before kick off. To be fair we were off it pretty sharpish. With Man U, you were tolerated in the East End - just not the centre blocks :-) Yep. I was there that night. Prob around 1969. Think it was 0-0 at half time. Garland Galley Skirton Sharp all scored Can't remember who was the other scorer but it was the entire front line. Might have been Jantzen Derrick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticktock Look at this deluded belter below, bless him....just ignore the fact that we were planning a new stadium back in 2009, 2 years before they unveiled plans for the UWE. We 'kicked on' with the plans to redevelop AG in 2013 because it became apparent we weren't going to get anywhere against the dog walkers at AV, it was **** all to do with their plans. We did it because we have an owner who is a genuine billionaire and who actually puts his money where his mouth is. Not a Chelsea fan who will only pay for a new tent...

Cunnyfunt Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 15 hours ago, Smaller than a flea said: So the dinosaurs didn't die out after all then. I can't believe that a few Rovers and City fans still harp on about "firms" and violence. It nearly ruined football than, and stains it today. On the rare occasions that City and Rovers meet, it would be great if it could be more like a Liverpool v Everton celebration rather than a nasty violent tense stand-off. If you call full scale riots, smashed up pubs and the police helicopter up in the sky due to running battles on Stanley Park a celebration, you must have definitely have been brought up in Knowle West!... That was my experience of that Derby in 2003 anyway. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
