Their fans were always good-humoured, and they played atrractive football with Warboys & Bannister banging in the goals. I wouldn't say I became a fan, but a dislike of Bristol City delveloped which endures to this day.
Agree re Bristol City. My brothers and I went the Rovers v Pompey match played at Twerton Park in Bath, can’t remember the year. We were having a quiet pre match beer in a pub and suddenly a red topped City supporter appeared and rushed up to our table aggressively and screamed “make sure you send those fuckers down mind”. More obscenities followed and he got dragged out by a couple of mates.
Horrible ground, sideways sloping pitch, we won 2 - 1 though. Guy got one, can’t remember who got the other.
