Incompetent owners, financial problems, the forced groundshare was hated by most fans indeed they had a Politcal Party set up just to get back to the Valley. Fans disenfranchised who never went back, like us after the 1960 FA Cup Final. I was with the wife and young son in the Rovers masses behind one of the goals. Fantastic view of the Hendry, thanks to Miller, goal and of Vince O'Keefe making match saving blocks and SG missing a few! The Charlton end was nothing like ours. It was a great day as was OT in the semis years later. SG missed more than a few. Still my second favourite Rovers striker of all time though.

It was a one in eight chance but i had it in my mind as a cert it would be stoke after I posted. I.e. Almost as though it had already been announced. I'll get back to you on the lottery numbers when I have a similar episode!
philipl Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Just seen the draw and felt utterly humiliated. Playing kick ball with Stoke u-21s FFS

AllRoverAsia Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Just noticed that the 2017 final, Coventry 2 v Oxford 1, attracted an attendance of over 74k. Both sides had predominantly English players in their squads. Oxford's starting eleven had 10 English and 1 Scot. Coventry took over 41k fans to Wembley. The Comp not a total failure as 2 sets of decent fans had a day out at Wembley.

had.e.nuff Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 1 hour ago, meadows said: Have to be on loan from elsewhere but I see the point you're making!! Its a bit silly our u23 finish 6 places and 12 points in front of stoke u23 but they cant play against them in this cup.

Fair point you make. However Rovers can start a game with up to 7 of our Cat 1 included. I think.
J*B Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 If they've any sense they will make tickets for this competition free with a ST or it could be embarrassing.
blueboy3333 Posted August 28, 2017 Author Posted August 28, 2017 https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2017/august/williams-wembley-ambitions/ Williams won this with BCFC and went up from L1 the same year. It is written...

Certainly no more than £2.50 for anyone else (the earlier games at least). I can't imagine many people that don't live a stones throw from the ground being that interested unless 'the price is right' - especially as the cold nights are pretty much here already (R.I.P. English Summer).

SkipDonoghue Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Don't expect many of our u23s to be part of this especially as there is an international break and no league game for a couple of weeks so I expect Mowbray will give game time to his squad players and try to keep the run they are on going which is understandable

I now have a full and near perfect copy of the full match video and commentary. Vivid memory of that day. The M6 was a sea of blue and white in the days when it was de rigueur to fly your scarf out the back window. Remember how big the whole occasion was! Photos of people in the LET watching the match live outside Martin Dawes; the parading of the Cup at the Town Hall. Remember the gate being 40,000 dead and thinking how strange; especially as we'd brought about 30,000. Promotion by far the most important thing but would love a trip to Wembley!

I was outside Martin Dawes on crutches lol. Broke my ankle playing the week before at school and wasn't allowed to go!

Backroom Madon Posted October 3, 2017 Backroom Posted October 3, 2017 Looking forward to it, would go with the above but I thought Harper was injured still? If he is then Gladwin on the wing and Nuttall up front with Graham.
RV Blue Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Hope to see the minimum number of first teamers possible tonight and Nuttall/Travis/Wharton all starting.

Oldgregg86 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 I like the look of big dogs team with nuttall, Matty Platt and Doyle coming off the bench. Possibly Rankin Costello dependant on how the game is going instead of doyle
