Got his yellow away shirt from 99/00 in the post last week, meeting up in Riga with him soon and getting another one and hopefully a latvia match worn 😂 Would attach a picture but don’t know how to from my mobile 🤪 I got mine from that time you organised the match when the two of them came over.

Two absolutely great blokes, have kept in touch with both on a regular basis. Really looking forward to going to riga to see vita, the virus situation there is solid. Going to watch Riga Fc b Valmieras at skonto stadium on the Saturday...any players I should be looking out for? 😂😂

Enjoy your trip.

While I've got them out here's the rest of the season.... I really love the 85/86 seasons programmes. Someone actually got creative and used different styles and colours, before we went back to doing the same cover for every match again.... So cool they freeze my eyes looking at them.....

They look OK on camera but you really want to avoid walking on them with bare feet....

Now this is one for the historians amongst you.... Rovers 1st game on a Sunday.... My dad went up to Nottingham for this, we were the fourth kick off that day. It was all bought about by an energy shortage and industrial conflict.... Basically you couldn't pay for football because of Sunday trading laws so you paid for a team sheet to be let in the ground .... Basically football found a loophole to get around the rules.... My dad said it was an awful day.... We lost 4-3 and apparently the forest fans weren't very nice to them..... More info: www.footballsite.co.uk/History/Sunday%20Football.htm

That's the one Greg.. Just looking at it brings back boyhood memories of my late dad and me on the Tote End.. Sends shivers down the spine.. Eastville was unique and something very very special... Is imaging hosting that easy mate?.. I'm light years behind sadly...

Went to my first match on 5 Sept 1964. Gas 5 Carlisle 2. I’ve got the match programme, and every programme Home and Away for EVERY game since, including friendlies, testimonials and reissued programmes to to postponements. My favourite is the programme for the FA Cup 2nd round replay away to Stockport in on 9 Jan 1964/5 season. The game at Eastville ended 0-0. Rovers were top of Div3, Stockport bottom of Div4. The draw for the 3rd round was made on the evening of the drawn game, and paired the winners home to Liverpool. The replay was at Stockport on Monday 11th 1965, which meant no time to produce a match programme for a game which was to attract a huge crowd due to the Cup draw. However, someone in the office produced several hundred team sheets on a typewriter, and I managed to find one in a collectors fair. Never seen another one. Forgot to mention Stockport won 3-2.

I did have a badge "celebrating" City's relegation from Div 1... late 70s? "Division 2 welcomes Bristol City" it said. In 1994, my wife threw it out. "Well, it was old and I didn't think you wanted it any more."

As part of the Bid on the Side to raise funds for the youth/development teams, I passed Jamie a Rovers condom holder. It is a plastic mini kit wallet that was used late 90s as part of a safe sex drive. I think they were given out by the community dept on association with the NHS?
This was intended to be part of a novelty collection to put on eBay which also included a Bristol & West Rovers passbook account cover and a few other smaller one off items including a Rod Hull and Emu CD sleeve for Rovers All the Way. One mans treasure and all that.
I'll see if Jamie is going to list them next season.
The Steve Elliott shirt should be listed next season though and I have the signed 125 anniversary meal card inc Lambert, Elliott, Campbell etc.

All blue away can't remember which season. Think if had a big C for Cowlin in the middle.
We tend to put the better items forward for bids when it is the Xmas games or versus high profile opposition to try and increase interest.
Depending on when we can watch and the fixtures, I would guess it will be listed to co-incide with Sunderland, Ipswich etc.
