According to Steve Cotterill on City's site. So, the Severnside derby idea is just a modern invention by the press or somebody.

He walked out in front of me in Union Street last week, unfortunately I recognised him too late, and missed the opportunity.

Rex, Missed the opportunity to thank him.......?
We are entering a critical time of the season - agent Cotterill needs to pick up a few draws and a win to avoid the sack too early. A fine balance as of course it would be disaster to win no than 2 in a row.

That's not a fetish I've ever come across, so to speak. |

I have been reading about the history between the support of both clubs and it would seem that their were no fights or real animosity, a tangible one, until the late 60's. As you know, my Dad took us to both clubs home games but all of us chose the Blue. I have noticed that many of us older supporters are now getting along fairly well with what used to be some of our deadliest rivals. Maybe not playing them has had some kind of effect ? I would love it if we were able to watch a derby game and have the rivalry but sans the silliness. It would be fantastic to be able to have a pint whilst watching the game too. I was talking to a few fellow Celtic fans and it's just not the same without that one real rival. I think the Teds would find it very different if we did cease to be a rival. |

Like yourself KP, my father used to take me to both Trashton and Eastville on alternate Saturdays. It was quite a normal thing to do to watch both teams in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and I knew as much about their players as I did about Rovers until I was about 13-14 years of age. But I did opt to watch Rovers solely at about that time, I got fed up listening to their lot moaning about everything under the sun. Whereas at Eastville life always seemed sunny by comparison, it really was a tremendous atmosphere there compared to Trashton. Now it's true that we weren't as successful on the pitch as them, but that was more than compensated for by the ''family'' atmosphere at Eastville at the time. And the gallows humour of course. This was mentioned on here recently and it appears not to have been passed down the generations. But the thing that I liked about Eastville most, was that wherever you happened to be standing, you were always amongst friends. Oh . . . and those shirts, absolute magic. Mind you, my brother who had similar advantages and opportunities to myself, went the other way and supported that other lot. It did make for a lively Saturday evening and Sunday morning sometimes. It nearly drove my poor mother mad. |

The things you mention were also a big part of me choosing Rovers and I have been very blessed to have that Rovera family around me when I have had deaths, relationship splits and iillness. I remember, as a 7-8 yr old kid, the hot dogs were a huge part of my going to Rovers, with Dad lol. How simple life used to be. I didn't like the super heated tea and coffee though  |

Whether you went into the ground at the Tote End or the Muller Road end, you had to be very careful where you were treading.  |
