[Archived] Throwback Thursday

[Glenn]

Every Thursday, some pictures of Rovers memories from yesteryear. Can you remember where they were? Where you there ?


So a few to get you started

 

[Roving Mick]

I was at the semi final and this visit to Bray.  Didn't go to Turkey though.

Back with a vengeance this morning Glenn!

A bit like that We are Rovers Facebook page, I struggle to look at/watch old footage. 

Cheers Venky's.

The cluckers can't take our dna. Feck them.

[Glenn]

That was my thinking. No matter what else gets taken away from us, they can't take our memories of the good times.

One thing I realised selecting a few pics for this thread is just how few pictures I personally have from our trips away, so please please everyone, post some of your own!

I was at the FA Cup semi final and also the supporters match arranged prior to our European game in Ankara.

I think Ankara was probably where we first met (I'd imagine as mutual acquaintances of Bjarte).



I don't think anyone has got the last one yet. No takers ?


And does anyone have any pics to put up here next Thursday ?

[Dunnfc]

Was at both semi's loving the cardiff picture Glenn! six hours on a coach there and six back.

Was a long long day.

It was Glenn. I actually travelled there with Bjarte who I had known for a couple of years. He appears to be off the radar now as far as Rovers are concerned. He's still a Facebook friend but I haven't spoken to him, either verbally or on social media, for several years.

I bumped into him again, very briefly, in business circles. He was backing a project I was doing some integration work for.

Hi Glenn, you missed my earlier reply (the first).  It was Bray.  As Max Boyce used to say:  "I know because I was there".

[Glenn]

Nope. The third one with Souness is Bray. The fourth one isn't (though I see why you think it is).

Drogheda

[Glenn]

Meadows was right, it was St. Pats.

Now to find some tougher ones for next week (unless somebody else volunteers to).

Missed the semi- final - think I'd only just had one of my menaces. Remember (some of) Bray fondly. Somehow we happened to be staying in the same hotel as the Rovers squad. Me n the hubby were just hanging round the hotel lobby when, to our surprise, in they walked. I have no idea what had happened on their journey but the look on Souness' face wasn't just alarming, it was quite frankly petrifying and instantly put paid to our thoughts of going up and wishing the team well. The next day me and my Dad may have 'accidentally' happened to be in that white beer tent at the back of Bray  . Had an absolutely brilliant time amongst the Rovers fans who travelled over and the locals. I don't think I've ever been quite so monumentally hungover after those few days in Ireland. Thanks for the happy memories, Glenn x

[Glenn]

My absolute pleasure. I'm just hoping other people will do the same, because I've so many memories, but so few photos.

[EwoodDawn]

'So few photos'. In some ways, a shame, in some ways, ruddy good job, too! But in the very old days, lots of us non-teccy types had 'bricks' for phones with no scope for taking photos on or had no mobile phones at all! Didn't get my first one til I left uni in 96!

[Glenn]

A few other oldies for you then Dawn (ones that aren't right for Throwback Thursday or aren't technically at games, but featuring a lot of people you'll know from the forum).

 

[EwoodDawn]

Ruddy brilliant! Thanks, Glenn x Note to SteB - try not to hold your hand up whilst clad in a German flag type hat  Note to the hubby - rude!  

[Glenn]

I've just re-enabled the Gallery feature and I'm in the process of tidying up. Once done I think we should encourage everyone to upload their pics of happier times.

[MCMC1875]

Plenty of SteB and Scotty on there. Happy days.

INice one Glenn

Ah, yes, the old plastic coffin. Note the "Power Corruption and Lies" album cover. Possibly even more apt now than it was back then...
