Us and Rovers...

Post by ElectroClaret » Sat Sep 20, 2025 11:28 am

...today both playing at home on the same day, and with the same kick off time.

Can't have occurred too often in recent times?
Or has it?

Nah. Lancs police explained it’s because of a lack of interest in anything football related down the road….

Maybe a LC match but otherwise, no, I can't recall it. For some reason we have back-to-back Saturday home matches whereas they are logically at home as they were away last week.

Actually happened a couple of seasons ago, but that was the first time I can remember it happening for a very long time

The small crowd at Deadwood is easy to Police.

It happened on 15 April 1989, unlikely to forget that one.

Just looked this up. I remember being on the Turf that day, but not the match itself.

We were beaten 1-0 by Darlington, whilst Rovers beat City 4-0.
How times change, as they say.
