Anyone wanting to give a good home to rovers Derby 31st August 1976 league Cup 2nd round?

[1879Rovers]

That was my first ever Rovers game.

I would love it.

Consider it yours then,

Thank you. Can any of the Rovers stats men give me the details for this game. I am sure there was about 15,000 there and Peter Kitchen scored for us in a 2-1 defeat. I would love to know who of the big names were in the Derby side that night.

Cheers. I had a feeling Charlie George played and scored. Some Derby team that.

Two near contemporaries of mine, Leighton James and the late great Robbie James, are both from a small place near Swansea called Gorseinon.

I am from Gorseinon, and my mother's maiden name was James. I have always been hopeless at football though

[1879Rovers]

And it was Kitchen who scored?

[Dagenham Rover]

do we still have the supporters shop that sells old programmes?
 

[Harrogate Rover]

Yes Kitchen scored, and yes the Supportes Club shop still sells old programmes.

[StocktonRover]

Yes
It’s on the North West corner and is open on match days for an hour or so before every home game.

[Dagenham Rover]

Yes
It’s on the North West corner and is open on match days for an hour or so before every home game.

Thanks ive got a few odd  Gillingham away programmes from 1981 through the 80s they can have

[1879Rovers]

I used to love the programme shop at Belle Vue, it was like an aladdins cave.

[Bollinger]

Yes Kitchen scored, and yes the Supportes Club shop still sells old programmes.

As I recall it was a classic knockdown from the head of O'Callaghan for Kitchen to turn home.

Ian Miller was incredible that night and he ran David Nash, who was an England international, ragged. Near the half way line on the Pop Side, Windy skinned Nish who ended up on his arse. As he staggered to his feet someone shouted, 'You've got yer work cut out toneet Nishy', to which Nish nodded and grinned as he leaned against the flag as if defeated.

Derby got out of jail that night. They were played off the park for the first hour. I think Pat Partridge was ref that night and a lot of things went Derby's way. His familiarity with their players didn't go unnoticed.

It’s still an Aladdin’s cave at the Keepmoat
