FAC R4, UEFA Cup last 32, climbing the league - not bad at all for a small town club. Hughes for the chop? - don't make me laugh. It doesn't get much better than this. This is why it is so much better following Rovers than a big city club.

BTW happy memories of the midweek game at Loftus Road in April '95, drinking Guinness with the late great Peter White before the game and singing champions songs hanging out of the sunroof going down the A4 afterwards.

Luton is Rovers number one bogey side. We've NEVER won at Kenilworth Road.

Its a horrible tight little ground with a terrible surface. Mike Newell will be keen to show Rovers what he can do to motivate a team as well.

Both teams are capable of upsetting the Rovers but I fear Luton far more.

With Watford, Man City, QPR/Luton and Chelsea away all a matter of weeks I'd say 1750 should be enough. Its a good time but an expensive time to be a Rover.

Keeley took out one of their players (Fucillo ?) with a neck high challenge , Jimmy Hill said it was the worst tackle he'd ever seen :D

That was at Ewood on a bone hard icy pitch. Funnily enough I was thinking about that just the other day given the Niemi incident.

As I remember it Killer kicked the guy ten feet up in the air and he came down vertically on his head and neck in very similar fashion.

I can remember the incident and the players, just 200 miles away with the ground. Must be getting old

That's a sobering thought :unsure: although when was the last time we even played them? Surely we can break this particular duck.

.... just checked on Roversmad Head to Head ... it was 1982
