There was the guy (late 90s / early noughites?) who did a zip-wire from the top of one of the pylons to the centre circle before kick-off. He was travelling so fast head first I didn't think he was going to stop. It could have been the start to Swindon's tube system.

Anyone remember that guy that climbed on top of the Town End mid game against Tranmere or someone in around 2005?

I remember a town fan got in the tree behind the bank to goad rovers fans when they had the corner, eventually got nicked.

THink it may have been v Yeovil... fucking idiot, we were winning at the time, and there had been a game where it was abandoned for similar, that may have involved Tranny.  Should have got a kicking from the TE.

Remember when some town fans climbed up the back of the Stratton Bank, from outside,  and set fire to a shitheads BCFC flag that was hung on the fence.

Similar when we played the gas pre season one year. A gas head put his flag up on the side fence next to the bank, someone managed to reach through and tear it down. Then proceeded to shred it in front of the bloke. He was a bit upset.

Wasn’t it Rockin’ Robin who did this. When he went from the fat Robin in a Town kit, to the streamline slightly super hero looking one?

What year did we play gas in pre season as I only remember playing City in 1980

It was definitely Rovers. It might have been a minor cup game as there weren't many there

Don't think in my time watching Swindon (1974 on) that we have ever played Rovers in a home friendly, we have played the slavers 3 or 4 times in that time though at home.

I watched us play Rovers at the CG in a reserve game and Michael Timlin lobbed the keeper with a chip shot from about 35 yards out.

One of the best goals I’ve seen at the CG.

I think you could be correct.

It was pre DRS, between 1990 and 1994. Lord knows what game it was then.
