Rovers v Burnley

I'll be there, just went and got me Rovers Season Ticket sorted yesteday! Was changing stands so, the lad on the ticket desk very kindly took me into the ground so i could sit in my new seat to check the view before buying ticket! Pitch looking great...now all we need is a decent striker!!

Best Regards - Taggy
 
Here's a clip for you old boys of Rovers v Burnley from 1952...ah the old days, no roof, pitch invasions...steel toe cap footy boots and the ball weighed a ton! :D (and a massive crowd)

Thanks for that Mancie, I was there. :)
 
did you invade the pitch Roy?.. made me laugh.. the Rovers goalie is wearing a flat cap!:D

Didn't invade the pitch but I had a flat cap..............with a scholl badge on it.................Paid sixpence and was carried from the back of the stands on the riverside to the front over the heads of the adults to the benches round the pitch.
 
Nice one Mancie, wasn't there for that match but was there when we played the Dingles in 1960 on our way on the final, think the gate that night was 58,000, gates were closed 30 minutes before the kick off, won 2-0 I think after extra time, the Rovers came from 3-0 down at the Turf in the first game, I was there for that one too:D
