I have never been to a Rovers v Town game. Does that make me ultra cool but a shit supporter? |

I've seen Town play away to Rovers at Eastville, Twerton, Ashton Gate and the Memorial Ground. I think that makes me quite sad.

Fair play they have lived up to their name. Like pikeys tarmacking drives from Town to Town. |

That place was a shit hole with one of the worst views in league football from behind the speedway track. |

Haven't been to the Memorial Shed, but have watched us play them at all the others. And yes, Eastville was a shit place to watch football, a bit like the old stamford bridge when you were half a mile from the pitch |

One of my strangest away days was standing in one of their stands with a Rovers supporting friend at Twerton for an evening game in the early 1990s when we won 4-3. (The back pass rule had just been brought in and players were still getting used to it; I remember one of their goals resulted from a short range free kick after Digby handled.) Very envious of the rest of our fans at the end because I had to zip it while they were going mental.

We had shitloads there that game. The main problem wasn't with Rovers but the ethnics who lived nearby. We went top after that game and Terry Cooper got sacked. We then went to Walsall on the Tueaday and lost 5-0 and got relegated that season. Ardiles - I was also in the Rovers end for that game - as were quite a lot of Town. We always had a lot of Town in the Rovers ends at Twerton. |

My first trip to Eastville was in 66...we got beat 3-0, I suspect undone by Alfie Biggs and Harold Jarman. Back then they used to have attractive flower beds between the goals and the speedway track. |

Did Jarman play for the Town in a few matches?

No you're probably thinking of Bobby Jones.....Harold Jarman was one of those reasonably common at the time who played county cricket in the summer....he turned out for Gloucestershire. |
