Rovers won with a late goal that many of us thought was offside. During the Atyeo Stand opening, I bumped into Geoff Bradford, who scored the winner, in Supporters Club. I said to him "Yes you were!' and he replied with a big grin, "No I wasn't. Look at the history books and the score is a win for Rovers". He was the only non City ex player there because he and Big John were very good friends. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 Good find! The ground would only have been used for a few years at that time, interesting to see how the place looked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works fine for me. Just go to the pathe news archive website. Put Bristol City Football in the search box...and a few related films come up to watch for free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was their one time, one team, in with any sort of chance of promotion to the top division, and they weren’t good enough. They have never been anything like as good before or since that era.

Mr X Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 In 1958 were plenty of people still watching City one week and Rovers the next? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
