After the LDV semi we lost at the Mem in 2007, we walked back down Filton Ave and there was a ring of old bill around The Felly. Once they knew we were City they let us in. Imagine the embarrassment of having one of the closest pubs to your ground being home to your rivals, whilst you had to walk past and go to the shitty Bulldog 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it’s considered not enough of a money maker although there’s loads of decent sized clubs at our level here and in Europe so I think it would be popular with fans. I think the Anglo Italian cup was stopped due to the carnage between fans in some of the other ties. https://thesefootballtimes.co/2019/10/25/remembering-the-violent-but-fascinating-anglo-italian-cup/ Can't remember if that's the article I read a few weeks ago when I was looking it up for some reason.

totterdown cidered Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 Memory is definitely fading but didn't city and rovers literally flip a 50p coin to see who would go through to this competition? I can also confirm that lockleaze at this time had plenty of City fans on rovers doorstep. It wasn't easy being a city fan as rovers seemed to have the edge over city during this era on the pitch. Lockleaze school certainly had it's fair share of City fans even back then !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Can recall getting told by a rover's fan, they used to meet at the golden bottle, when one of our main faces had it, bet he was straight on the phone to you lot the genius said!

It was undoubtedly exciting to see City in Europe but like the JPT before the final the crowds for this competition were awful. Our 2 home games against teams we had never heard of, like Cosenza only had about 4000 there & having missed Pisa, I went to Cremonese, which was played on a work day December afternoon in front of about 500. There just wasn’t the interest, especially in Italy, to keep it going, whether there was any violence or not. Second tier football (Germany aside) is really poorly supported in Europe, we are the only country that has a league where even the third tier can have a Derby or Portsmouth sized club, so no one else would be up for this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and me both, but as you say, the Anglo-Italian fizzled out due to lack of spectator interest. Anyway, we won the Anglo-Scottish Cup which is an (ahem) European trophy and one that West Ham never claimed. Although, to be fair, they never played in it. EDIT: Just checked that assertion and they did play in the Texaco Cup, which was an Anglo-Scottish-Irish version of the same thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
