A lot different now Pete, nice new stadium, they have come a long way since you watched them at the old "Bellvue" ground. The Rovers were in the "Dolldrums" in the 70/80s and the butt of many a joke, such as,
12 people were caught climbing over the fence at the Rovers, the police caught them and made them go back and watch till the end of the game.
A man went to the ticket office mid week and asked for 24 tickets, he asked the ticket man "what times kickoff",
The ticket man replied "what time are you coming"
They are a lot better now and the odd times I have been I have enjoyed it, but I am still not a fan of football, to me they are "over paid fairies" who go down "like a sack of spuds" if anyone goes near them. I much prefer Rugby, a game played by men with "odd shaped balls" !!!!
