You're welcome. 

I won't be John. 

I've got too much going on sadly. 

Have fun though.

I’d love to see this but it doesn’t work when I click on play - it says it needs to be licensed.

I was definitely at one game. City v Rovers FA Cup Feb 15 1958. 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.

Thanks for sharing the memory. My late father was also at that game.

Good find! The ground would only have been used for a few years at that time, interesting to see how the place looked.

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.

Look at the crowd verses the gas in 1958.

Rovers were better then, weren't they, late 50s - very early 60s? Better than us. 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.

In 1958 were plenty of people still watching City one week and Rovers the next?
