Classy I remember standing on the Tote End a number of times over the years however I can't recall any Rovers supporters ever being present ... although clearly, they had been shortly before. It's clear now that they'd all run off to knit scarves. Tote End Aggro - my arse. Btw they left Eastville and the Tote End was bulldozed in 1986 - a mere 29 years ago.

1960maaan Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Been at both ends of Eastville when they played Chelsea so I thought I'd do a search, interesting results.... From a Chelsea forum As a Bristol Rovers fan, one of my abiding memories of our original ground - Eastville, is seeing Chelsea almost totally clear the Tote End at a midweek match around 1976. One minute it was packed with Gasheads, next minute, they parted like the red sea, and Chelsea were standing in the centre of the terrace. I don't think I've ever seen the Tote clear that quickly, First reply In the 70s as well .. if my memory serves me well Rovers did better outside afterwards but still got run underneath the motorway .. Bristol city at ashton gate a much tougher job (my italics) I'll just leave thhis here, make of it what you will. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be fair Rovers did have a pretty good mob back then . Mind you lots of teams did didnt they . Yes , no one is saying they were wimps back then, but what invariably "won" it for the City was sheer weight of numbers ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clearly remember getting tickets from fellow city lads in a pub in Gloucester Rd, going into the Tote in groups of 2 and 3, mobbing up in the far left corner as you look at it, and burst into song at about 14.50 "The Ciiity". You lot legged it. A few came back, had a go, got belted and legged it. We all then got escorted out the back, through a gate and around the pitch to the rest of the City fans. To a loud round of applause I may add. We came, we sang,we waded in, you ran like rabbits. And we did it more than once. Looking back, it isn't the proudest times of my life, but don't spout complete garbage by denying it happened. And happened often. Correct was there as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the game where the locks were cut off the night before,but had been replaced so all the lads without tickets had to climb over the gates when it went up.

You don't have a clue mate as it was impossible to get in from the north enclosure which was actually the right side. look- I'll leave you all to continue being in denial....of being in denial.

PHILINFRANCE Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I am not sure about 'taking' the East End, but I remember back in the 1970s both Leicester one Tuesday evening and Birmingham having very large numbers present throughout the match - also Liverpool, of course, during the FA Cup game. I also remember one Saturday afternoon when Sheffield UTD 'invaded' the East End in large numbers: they were finally chased out, but not before 'allegedly' hitting one City fan with an axe would you believe.

Remember one Saturday Birmingham game. They walked them all down and back from Parson St along Winterstoke Rd and it all went off in that little park on the corner. It didn`t have a fence around it then or the kiddies play equipment, it was just a bit of green space with a few trees. Mayhem it was.

Certainly remember Birmingham and Pompey in large numbers on the East End but absolutely no recollection of Leicester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
