An old match programme for Bristol Rovers when they were still playing in their grounds in Eastville. Last Saturday they won against Southampton and ended up in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, something that hasn't happened for fifty years. So, Rovers fans are excited and can't wait to get another chance to play at Wembley.
There are two major football clubs in Bristol, Bristol Rovers and Bristol City. Generally, people living south of the river support City and those in East or North Bristol will lean towards Rovers. Both clubs are doing very well at the moment. Onwards and upwards, seems to be the motto these days.

Richard, As a GasHead (Rovers fan) I can assure you that Rovers have not yet (unfortunately) made the semi-finals of the FA Cup. They are in the quarter finals and that is as far as they have previously reached twice before and yes it was over 50 years ago. Incidentally the semi finals WILL be played at Wembley sop Rovers are only one step away from playing at Wembley AGAIN (they played there in the Play Off Final last season). Nice programme!

Thanks for your comment, Gerry. I stand corrected. Just goes to show that I was in a bit of a hurry to write this post and got some of the finer points wrong. Rovers are doing great, though, aren't they?
