Wow where have 25 years gone....We were trailing City all season leading up to this vital Bristol derby watched by Steve Lansdown who had just become City fan after saying he would not take his son Jon to watch Rovers at Bath.
Rovers were underdogs and won 3-0 with Devon White 2 and Ian Holloway penalty. City scum kicked off and their manager Joe Jordan tried to calm them down and was spat on by them. Wonderful night signing on the pitch at the end and going home to watch the highlights on HTV. |

What a night, that was a situation which was perfect scripting....I dont think that finish to a season will be bettered in my lifetime.
I remember Olly talking on the mic on the steps of the grandstand.
Top day out at Blackpool to clinch the title too, ended up behind the net for the last goal, only saw it bulge as Nixon scored.
Happy days...

Given what was as stake I can't imagine there will ever be such a Bristol derby again.

One of the best nights of my life, the build up all week then beating the scum, back up the white horse for a late drink, and think i floated home, very bad head at work next day but giving the shedheads ear ache all day made me feel better, sadly had to work blackpool weekend but beating that lot was good enough for me back then.

I can remember an 82er work collegaue saying to me a few days after the season ended "you may have won the league but over the course of the season we were the better team"
Don't think a quarter of a century later they've got any brighter in BS3
