Silvio Dante Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I genuinely can’t recall the last time we played Rovers at any kind of level approaching senior football, so the GFA Cup draw today is interesting news. Good practice for when our U23s enter the pizza cup (or whatever it is now) - and more pertinently, do we think this might be played at Ashton?

We haven’t won a trophy with this group and we need to focus on that as opposed to anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very lively, i remember being on Stapleton Rd in the mid '70s after the game one night as a twelve year old with my City scarf stuffed down my trousers thinking what the **** am i doing here and how do i get back to KW !!! They could actually raise a mob in those days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven’t won a trophy with this group and we need to focus on that as opposed to anything else. There was some criticism of the way the team was kept together last year, but I quite like it. I know some professional players feel the U21/U23 set up doesn't prepare youngsters for proper competitive football, it's all geared to the individual and their pathway into the first team. I feel that giving our lads a goal in trying to win their cup last season, builds a better team ethic and encourages players to play for each other.

They could actually raise a mob in those days Not as exciting as being chased as an early teen around that time - with a few others with City scarfs tied around our wrists - down the Tote by some knife wielding maniacs when we arrived at the back of the stand at KO time not realising that segregation had been introduced and everyone else was at the opposite Muller Road end. Stood our ground, despite being sussed, on the Grange Town End around that time of following City but that evening on the Tote was definitely one for the ‘flight, not fight’ mode. Try to erase that memory and replace it with the Glos Cup ‘Tulips on The Tote’ 5-0 night, but that incident still qualifies as my biggest ‘oh shit’ moment in visiting away grounds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBFC II Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Can see this being behind closed doors sadly, could be a bit of a nightmare considering it's been 11 years since we last played them at this sort of level I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilf Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 We normally play our U18s in this I think. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s BCD but let’s hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossetRobin Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 So it appears there is no U21 fixture today, obviously no comms to contradict the last info available apart from the fact it has disappeared off the fixture list Next up, the Young Robins welcome Millwall to the Robins High Performance Centre on Monday, October 14th at 2pm. There is however a new fixture been added - Is this the Glos Cup Final ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
